When you register for dance class, you are reserving your placement in the class and we hope you make the commitment to participate in our year-end recital (June 1st, 2024 ). If for ANY reason you will be withdrawing from class before the year-end recital, it is a REQUIREMENT* to inform us in the office or via email (info@artisandancestudio.com) 30 days in advance. No refunds will be given for mid-month withdrawals. If a withdrawal is made after recital costumes and fees have been charged, there WILL BE NO REFUND.

*If you do not make a formal request to withdraw your student from classes, you are still responsible for tuition until your request is made in the studio or by email (info@artisandancestudio.com). Thank you for your cooperation.

Tuition is charged on a monthly basis, and is billed on the 1st of each month. All accounts should be enrolled in auto-pay for the 2023-24 Season. If you need an exception to the autopay requirement, please contact info@artisandancestudio.com to make accommodations.

Good attendance is important to a dancer’s progression- each class builds on skills developed in the previous week’s class, but we understand that absences occur. Please notify us (phone or email) if your student cannot attend class and we will work with you to determine whether there is a class that your child may attend to make-up for the missed class.

Artisan’s bad weather cancellation policy is not determined by the surrounding school districts. We will announce cancellations for weather and other emergencies on our website, Facebook, as well as group emails/texts.
