• I (Guardian) understand that I will be responsible for 9 installments of the agreed upon tuition (Sep-May) and that if my student chooses to stop attending classes, I must submit a “Drop Form” (available online). If I do NOT submit in a “Drop Form” I will be held responsible for tuition payments until that Drop Form is submitted.
• I (Guardian) understand that a $65 non-refundable costume payment for each recreational class that my student is in is due by December 1 of the current enrollment year UNLESS my student chooses not to participate in the year-end Recital in which case I must fill out and turn in a “Recital Waiver” form (available online and at the front desk) by the due date of the current dance season. If my dancer is on the competition team, each regional/nationals class will have a non-refundable costume payment of $75 and will be due by October 1 of the current dance year. If I have not paid my costume payment by the due date and my student chooses to be in the recital, there will be an additional $10 fee assessed per costume.
• I (Guardian) understand that if my child is on the competition team, I will be required to pay all competition fees by October 1 of the current dance year, or my child will be dismissed from the team.
• I (Guardian) understand that EDA gives my student fundraising opportunities to help defray costs associated with tuition and costumes. All money raised goes towards either tuition or costumes, and is non-refundable. If my student chooses to quit taking classes with a credit balance on their account, it will NOT be reimbursed.
• I (Guardian) understand that in the event that my dancer gets injured during class, a reasonable attempt will be made to get in touch with me. However if EDA is unable to get in touch with me and the teacher deems the student must be taken to the hospital to avoid fatal or more serious injury, my child will be brought to the hospital and I will take all financial responsibility for the medical bills.
• All tuition is due the first week of each month. (Sept-May) For nationals team members, Sept - June
• Regardless of how many lessons there are per month, you will be expected to pay the same amount each month for the entire dance season.
• We accept cash, checks, and credit card.
• All tuition that is not paid in full the first week of the month will be charged a late fee of $5.00 per student.
• All insufficient funds will be charged a $25.00 fee.
• Due to bad weather, classes may be cancelled. Please check our Facebook page or Website to find out whether we are cancelled. If you for any reason feel uncomfortable driving in the weather, even if we are not cancelled, then please do not drive, however, we will not give any refunds for classes missed. (There will not be any refunds due to weather since that is not in our control – however we will attempt to do a makeup)
• No parents, siblings, or friends will be allowed in the dance rooms during class (with the exception of the designated Watch Week).
• No food, gum, candy or drinks will be allowed in the dance rooms except for WATER ONLY!
• EDA is not responsible for any lost or stolen items.

• EDA will do everything to make sure your child is put in the appropriate dance class. However, we reserve the right to have the final authority on class levels and sizes.
• We have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time. Although this is not something that we like to do, there are certain reasons that we may refuse service
o Large unpaid tuition/costume balances from prior years
o Destructive behavior such as gossip or malicious attitude about dancers, parents, teachers, or anyone else involved in the dance studio.
• If you dancer has to quit for any length of time during the dance year and then return, there will be a re-registration fee of $100 per dancer per class. The way you can keep your dancer's spot on the team is to continue to pay tuition for the time he or she is gone.
• There will be no refunds on tuition, costume, fundraisers, or anything else. If you have paid for a costume and you decide to quit, you are entitled to still receive your costume when it comes in. Please make arrangements to come pick it up as we will not ship or mail.
• If you have a problem you are expected to take it up with the teacher of your child's dance class, or the owners Miss Jen or Miss Kelly. Talking to other dancers, dance parents, other teacher, ect is unacceptable and may be grounds for dismissal from the studio.
