Payment Rules and Regulations
All Dance Fees are expected to be paid the first dance class of each month or before.
If you cannot make payment on the first dance class of the month YOU are responsible to come to the office and make an alternate arrangement with Velvet to pay your fee by the next class . This arrangement is at Velvet's discretion. Any arrangement made will require that payments be made by Thursday of the second week.
Arrangements Made with General Manager of Business Affairs:
PLEASE NOTE: When making arrangements to pay on an alternate date this date will be NO LATER than Thursday of week two.
If you make an alternate arrangement your child will be allowed to continue with class the first week and the second week. If YOU Do Not abide by the arrangement and pay by the following Thursday then your child will be required to attend his/her week three class but will not participate. They will be there to watch the class and learn the routine. And the late fee will be assessed of $50.00.
If there are extenuating circumstances as to why the agreement was not met it is up to the General Manager of Business Affairs to determine if your child sits out of their class that day.
If you make an alternate arrangement, you will be provided a letter stating the status of you fees. This letter will emailed and you will need to stop by the office to sign a hardcopy.
If by the third week of the month. no payment has been made then it will be up to Miss Erica's discretion as to whether your child will continue to dance at Full of Grace.
No Arrangements Made with General Manager of Business Affairs:
If you do not make a payment AND do not make an arrangement to pay in week two, then your child will be required to attend their week two class but sit out and watch the class until the past due amount is paid in full.
If you don't make any arrangements you will be provided a letter stating the status of you fees and the $50 assessed late fee. This letter will emailed and you will need to stop by the office to sign a hardcopy.
If payments are not made by the third week of dance then it will be up to Miss Erica's discretion whether your child will be able to continue to dance at Full of Grace.
Paying your fees ahead: You may pay your class fees up to 3 months ahead. If you do, you will receive a discount on your $30 per month group class, it will only be $80 for 3 months. All other classes are at their already low price. We no longer allow you to pay for a year at a time.
Payment Method: We except cash and checks. There is a $50.00 fee for any bounced check. The bank that we use will automatically deposit your check a second time after it bouncing the first time. If it bounces a second time that will be another $50.00 fee. While your checks are not clearing you will also begin to accrue late fees on your payment. Once notified of the checks not clearing you will be given a date each week that the entire amount of late fees, bounce check fees, and the original amount of your check must be paid by in cash to not accrue any more late fees. If you have a situation where you have bounced two different checks with Full of Grace Dance Instruction you will no longer be allowed to write checks and will be asked to pay in cash from that point forward.
Canceled Classes and Closures:
If the studio is closed for what ever reason you may choose to get an email to make you aware of the closing. We no longer make personal phone calls as the majority has expressed that this would be more efficient as many phone calls were missed. This is why it is so important you have your paper work filled out. Also if there is not class for any reason it will always be posted on the front page of the web site. If there has been a school closing or an early dismissal that day please do not assume there will not be class until you get your email. If school is let out early for any reason please make sure you have a separate go home plan made with the school. Your child may not come to the studio as there will be no one there until there scheduled time if there are classes that day.
Attendance & Conduct:
We will always guarantee at least 3 classes in a month (there may be some months with 5 classes). Although it is unusual if there is a month where you only have 2 classes in a month due to weather closure(s) or a cancellation by the studio, you will either be offered a make up class or a credit towards your next months class fees. We will not refund for classes that a student misses. If a students class fees are paid and the student misses classes or stops coming to classes it is up to the owners discretion as to whether or not you will get a cash or credit refund based on the individual case. If a student misses 3 or more classes within a four week period without a phone call, they will be considered no longer enrolled at Full of Grace Dance Ins and Fitness Center. If a student and or parent is having trouble respecting the rules, building, instructors, or office managers of Full of Grace Dance Ins and Fitness Center it will be up to the owners discretion as to whether or not the student may continue with their classes. ** It is very important that students make it to as many classes as possible, if they are in a group their group is counting on them.**
In between Classes:
Your child should not be at the studio hanging out for more than an hour before or after there scheduled class time unless they are waiting for another class to start. If you are a competition student waiting in between classes please make sure you are waiting in the appropriate areas. If the weather is nice out side please remind your child that they are to stay INSIDE the building unless you are there to be responsible for them if you allow them to play outside. All though we do not mind allowing students to get off the bus and wait for there class or wait for there ride to pick them up we are not a babysitting service.
Attire: All students should wear flexible clothing such as, body suits and tights with hair pulled up (not left down and around face). Appropriate shoes are needed for all classes.
Recital: Our recital is planned for Saturday in June 13,2015 . Recitals are usually held at the Newark Valley Middle School.

You are welcomed to purchase your solo or duet costumes on your own by catalogs, ebay, the costume sale or online. If you decide to do this you will need to stop by the office to log in your costume with a description, item number, and where you got it. This will insure that we do not have any duplicate costumes.

If you have money left over from a fundraiser once your bill is paid, the left over amount will go to the studio. This helps to pay for extra things we do at low cost such as the Halloween lock in.

We will allow you to put personal money in your account to save for costumes and competitions. HOWEVER, It must be given to the studio by a personal check from you ONLY and you must sign for it!
