Costume / Recital Fee

For the fall program, the costume/recital fees are split into three payments. (September, November and January. The first two payments will be $55 per dance class and $35 per tumbling class. The final payment will be calculated once the costumes are ordered, and the balance amount will be communicated in late December. (Fundraising options available to help with costume/recital costs) Students will perform in two dance routines with an estimated costume cost of $48.00-$55.00 with additional cost for shipping, handling, tights, shoes, entire recital DVD, and student award. For the winter program, the costume/recital fee is one payment due in February which includes one costume, shipping, handling, tights, shoes (if applicable), student award and DVD of the entire recital. The summer program does not include any performances or costumes. We strive to keep prices low and some costumes reusable. Fees are non-refundable once paid. Receiving your deposit means you take full responsibility for the balance due if the student drops out of class. You do have the right to decline participation in the recital and may continue to stay in the program, but it truly is a very good experience for them.

News and Information

To keep you informed, all communication will be through our BAND group, social media and our website. Please check this routinely so you are up to date with information. Additional announcements are made at the end of classes during parent viewing weeks, so please be present for these classes. Otherwise, students will be responsible for keeping you informed. When only three lessons occur in a month due to holiday closing, regular payment is made since some months carry five lessons, therefore, balancing out.

Attire/Policy/Conduct

Students will remain in the waiting area until they are called upon by the teacher to begin their lesson. No running in class. No chewing gum. Keep hands off the mirrors.

Baggy clothes and jeans are NOT appropriate for class. Dancewear, leotards, or spandex/stretch clothing is required. (May vary in some classes: consult your instructor.) To avoid wet and dirty floors, please bring clean tennis shoes/dance shoes to wear for lessons. No street shoes on the dance floor.

Parents and visitors who stay to observe classes must remain quiet so our students can concentrate and listen to the instructor without distractions. Siblings with you are to remain off the dance floor. At no time should children be left unsupervised.

Arriving late for a class can be very distracting and unpleasant for your child and the teacher. Please be prompt for pick-up if you are not staying for their class. No children should leave the building without an adult by their side for safety reasons.

Classes having less than five registered students may be canceled at the Dance Center’s discretion. Mini Motions and the faculty reserve the right to remove any student from class for failure to observe good conduct and policies.​

Thank you for your understanding and for following these rules needed for dance discipline.

Weather Conditions

The Dance Center does not follow any school closings.  Many times, the road conditions improve by lesson time.  Teachers will instruct classes with those students who are willing and able to attend.  If the center is closing, we will post it in our BAND group as well as on our Facebook page. There will be broadcasting on T.V. after 2:00 p.m.
