Semester Registrants: When you register, you will be charged a $100 deposit per class, $50 of which is NON-REFUNDABLE. This guarantees your spot. The balance of your fees will be charged the first week of the new semester. Fees will be pro-rated if the semester has already begun. No fees are charged if registering for the wait list. There will be a $5 fee for declined cards.

Summer Program Registrants: A $100 deposit per week will be charged at the time of registration; deposits are non-refundable. The balance of summer fees will be charged on June 1st. If registering after June 1st, you will be charged in full. There are no refunds for withdrawals from the Summer Program, nor are there refunds or make-ups for any absences. Sessions are interchangeable, space permitting. A 5% sibling discount is offered for the 2nd child and subsequent children from the same family registering for the same week. We regret that we cannot offer any trials during the Summer Program.

Registration fee: There is a one-time $25 non-refundable registration fee per child. Returning students are not subject to this fee.

Sibling Discount: Sibling discount of 5% is offered for the second child and subsequent children from the same family.

Multiple Class Discount: There is a 20% discount for the 2nd and 3rd weekly class taken by a single student in the same semester (not applicable in the Summer Program). There is a 25% discount for the 4th weekly class, and a 50% discount for the 5th + weekly class.

Downtown Dance Factory reserves the right to cancel a class as a result of insufficient registration. A full refund will be provided in this case.

Re-enrollment: Registrants for the Fall Semester will be automatically re-enrolled in the same class(es) for the Winter/Spring Semester on November 1st. You must opt out via email between November 1st and November 15th if you choose NOT to continue dancing into the Winter/Spring Semester. Deposits for the Winter/Spring Semester will be charged on November 16th. If your dancer would like to add or switch classes, you will be given priority to enroll in those classes before general registration begins. The balance of your tuition will be charged in the first week of the Winter/Spring Semester. There will be an additional recital costume fee per class charged along with your winter/spring tuition unless you specify, before the 3rd scheduled class, that your child will not participate. Recitals take place at Tribeca Performing Arts Center and are a ticketed event.

If you withdraw from a class before the first class takes place, you will be responsible for $50 of your deposit (per class). Once the semester starts, if you must withdraw from the class, you can do so PRIOR to the 3rd scheduled class. You will receive a pro-rated refund, less a $25 cancellation fee per class. Withdrawals must be made with at least 24 hours notice prior to your class start time to avoid being charged for the class. There are no refunds or credits for classes dropped once the third class takes place. We do not provide refunds for uniforms once they have been worn. DDF cannot be held accountable for extreme weather or other unforeseen events and will not provide a refund or credit for classes canceled in the case of these events. DDF will follow the guidance of the NYC public schools and the safety advisories from the city in making class cancelation decisions. Summer Program fees are non-refundable. Semester classes/Summer weeks are not transferable among dancers.

Each Downtown Dance Factory class has a required uniform. Check out out our website Uniform Page to see the uniform requirements for your class. (There is no uniform for the Summer Program). Uniforms are available for purchase at our Studio 4 Store.

SAVE THE DATE for 2019!!! Rehearsals and Recitals 2019 are tentatively set for Saturday June 1st through Sunday June 9th, 2019.

If you are registering for the Winter/Spring Semester, your child will perform in Downtown Dance Factory's end of year dance recital (Recitals are optional for TutuTots). Please visit our Recital Page for more information.

Downtown Dance Factory allows two (2) make-up classes per semester, subject to availability. Please let us know once your child has missed class - call or email us to schedule a make-up in an appropriate class, and we will do our best to accommodate you. Please note, make-ups CANNOT be scheduled in a full class and make-ups MUST be taken in the same semester as the missed classes. If you must cancel your scheduled make up, please do so 24 hours prior to it taking place in order for it not to count as one of your 2 allotted make-up classes.

In the Winter/Spring semester, make ups must be scheduled before winter break in order to avoid disrupting recital preparation. There are no make up classes for the Summer Program.

By the very nature of the activity, dance carries a risk of physical injury. No matter how careful the student and the teacher are, the risk cannot be eliminated. The risk of injury includes minor injuries such as bruises and more serious injuries such as broken bones, dislocations and muscle pulls. Sports or any activity that involves motion and rotation in a unique environment, carries with it a reasonable assumption of risk.

Downtown Dance Factory is bound by law to inform all participants and/or their guardians of the risk involved in the activity of dance in general. In consideration for Downtown Dance Factory accepting the applicant, and in consideration of the applicant having an opportunity to improve skills through the use of Downtown Dance Factory staff and facilities, those legally responsible for the named enrolling student realize the risk of injury involved and hereby agree to assume the responsibility of such for said student and further agree to save and hold harmless Downtown Dance Factory L.L.C., its staff and teachers, and all others concerned, and to indemnify them against loss, intending to be legally bound.

Downtown Dance Factory is not responsible for lost, misplaced, damaged or stolen personal belongings on our premises

I certify that the enrollee has no condition that prohibits full participation in the activities at Downtown Dance Factory. I assume all ordinary risks when the enrollee is using the facilities and hereby release Downtown Dance Factory, or any of its staff or teachers, for any injury or damage suffered in connection with said use of the facility. In case of emergency, if I cannot be reached, I authorize Downtown Dance Factory, its agents and staff, to contact and secure necessary medical attention for the applicant.

I understand and agree that Downtown Dance Factory has the right to terminate the enrollment of a child if it is determined that the continued attendance of the child in Downtown Dance Factory's program is not in the best interest of the child or the program. I agree to supervise, or have a responsible adult supervise, my child before and immediately after class.

Downtown Dance Factory may, in the course of teaching classes and putting on performances, take photographs and/or video which include our enrolled students. If you DO NOT want your child to be included in Downtown Dance Factory advertising / promotional materials / website, etc., please send us an email at info@downtowndancefactory.com. We will mark it in your family account.
