However, Company cannot guarantee that you or any member of your family contact group will not become infected with C-19.

I acknowledge and voluntarily assume the risk that I and my family group may be exposed to or involuntarily infected by C-19 by attending Company events and that such exposure or infection may result in personal physical or emotional injury, expense, legal fees, illness, permanent disability and possibly even death.
B. I agree to notify, in writing ,Company any known direct exposure and/or positive test results in order to aid in contact tracing as well as self-quarantine for a minimum of 10 days in the event of said exposure in order to protect community.
C. I acknowledge and fully accept all Company C-19. I agree to comply with all C-19 policies including but not limited to policies, guidelines, signage, written instructions, emails, as well as verbal requests and efforts by Company and its agents.

I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE AGREEMENT AND VOLUNTARILY AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS. BY ACKNOWLEDGING AND AND SUBMITTING THIS FORM I AM SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT ELECTRONICALLY.

Payment:
Accounts are set up with a credit card and will be billed automatically on the first of every month. An annual $48 registration fee will be charged to all students each September and will be pro-rated for those students who enter after September ($4 per month missed will be subtracted off the total). This will be automatically applied to your first payment. Please be aware, that if you are enrolling online, the registration fee has not yet been charged to your account. Once we receive notification of enrollment, the yearly registration fee will be added to the charges. All discounts will be applied once the registration form is received.

Tuition may be paid monthly by credit card. Fees are due by the 10th of each month. Failure to pay by the 10th will result in a $15.00 late fee which will automatically be posted to your account. Tuition is paid by the calendar month. A discount for the first month will be given for students who enroll after the beginning of the month. Our tuition is based on a full year of dance classes. Since we do not charge extra for months with 5 weeks, we do not prorate for months with 3 weeks.

Please note: The credit card authorization must be received at the time of registration to confirm class time and no student may take class until tuition is paid in full. The ability to collect funds or credit card information upfront greatly reduces our bookkeeping costs and wasted staff time. We truly appreciate your cooperation.

Cancellation:
We will cancel your reoccurring monthly tuition payment on the date 30 days after you submit a "Drop Student Request" in adequate detail via our customer portal. Our customer portal is reached at www.americanballet.com/login. IF YOU SUBMIT YOUR DROP STUDENT REQUEST AFTER THE FIRST OF THE MONTH THE DROP WILL BE EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS THEREAFTER AND YOU WILL BE CHARGED TUITION FOR ONE ADDITIONAL MONTH. In the unlikely event we need to change the class schedule and cancel a particular class, an appropriate refund for the canceled classes will be issued.

Requirements:
I understand that AAD has established rules and standards pertaining to dress, conduct and behavior of all participants in AAD activities to include performances. I agree to abide by all such rules in effect now and as distributed by AAD from time to time in the future. I agree that violations of any such rules can result in dismissal from AAD and all related AAD activities with no refund.

Dress Code:
Required dance wear, tights, dance shoes, and securely fastened hair must be worn to all classes. Failure to wear required dance-wear or hair can result in students being asked to sit out the class. Repeated failure to wear required dance-wear or hair can result in termination of lessons.

Attendance and Tardiness:
The school reserves the right to have students who come late to class, sit out the class. Repeated tardiness may result in termination of lessons. Please arrive 10 minutes early to each lesson. A minimum attendance standard will be required. If a student misses more than 4 classes without written notice, the school reserves the right to terminate lessons. To make up a missed lessons, students must be enrolled and prior notifications must be emailed to billing@americanballet.com. Make-ups are done at or below the student's level during the specified period: Sept-Dec by Dec 31, Jan-March by March 31, April-June by June 30, July-Aug by Aug 31.

Care of Students:
The school is not responsible for providing before or after class care for students. Parents with students under the age of 5 should remain in the school during the classes. Students are not to be left at the school for excessive time periods before or after their classes.
