Continuous Parent Communication System
SDS uses a "green, yellow, red" system of continuous parent communication regarding the status of classes which can be found on our website. Green indicates to attend face-to-face classes as usual. Yellow indicates a cautionary change to service delivery, so please check your email. Red indicates dancers should stay at home and attend class online.

Additional Policies
Parent Responsibility
Showcase Dance Studio goes to great lengths to keep you informed and up-to-date. The following communication tools are available to you; E-mail, Website, Text Opt-In, Studio Bulletin Board, Office Staff, and Facebook. Remaining informed is your responsibility.
Automatic Text Opt-in
I understand that I will automatically opt-in to receive communication by text from SDS at the beginning of each session. I may opt-out at any time and understand by doing so I may not receive important studio updates. Standard Text messaging fees may apply and are solely my responsibility.
Closing Policies
Studio closures due to severe weather conditions will be announced after 2:00 PM. Morning closures will be announced by 8:30 AM.
Dress Code
I agree to adhere to all dress code requirements as outlined by the studio.
Attendance
I understand that students are expected to attend class regularly. Students arriving more than 10 minutes late may be asked to sit out of that class. If students are excessively absent before the recital, missing more than 3 class rehearsals from (March-June) they will be pulled from their recital dances at the discretion of the Teacher and Director.
Arrivals/Departures/Supervision
I understand that Showcase cannot provide supervision for students outside of class. Students may not arrive earlier than 10 minutes before their class begins and must be picked up immediately after their class is over. I understand that for safety reasons SDS employees will not take students to the restroom. If my child may need assistance I will remain in the studio.
Students may not be dropped off and picked up at the curb. The parking lot is extremely busy and this is a very dangerous practice. Please park and walk your student to and from the studio. This policy is to be observed regardless of the weather.
Refunds
Tuition, membership fees, and costume fees are not refundable for any reason. Refunds are only issued when SDS cancels a class due to low enrollment.
No refunds will be given if a similar online class is provided in place of an in-studio class.
Withdrawals after March 1 will result in a $50 restaging fee.
Code of Behavior
I understand that students and parents are expected to respect and willingly abide by all rules and regulations of the studio. If a student or parent slanders students or staff they will be asked to find another studio to attend. Failure to adhere to studio policies by parents or students may result in disenrollment and forfeiture of all previously paid fees.
Class Placement
Class placement is at the discretion of the Studio Director and teacher. Students that are enrolled in levels that they are not recommended for will be removed from the class and transferred to the appropriate level.
Payment Policies
Tuition is based on the seasonal cost and divided into 10 equal installments due on the 15th of each month. Membership fees and 1st installments will be charged on the 15th of the month prior to the start of the session. If you register after that date you will be charged within 72 hours. Membership fees and 1st installments are non-refundable.
I hereby authorize Showcase Dance Studio Inc. to charge my credit card for balances due.
