Attendance
Attendance is key to teach dancers proper dance etiquette. Although we understand things may come up, please try your best to be on time for class. Dancers must arrive in time to participate in the class warm up in order to avoid injuries. If they miss the class warm up, they may be asked to sit out and observe. Dancers must stay home if they are sick. Please give us notification if your dancer will need to miss multiple classes in a row.
In the case of bad weather, please check your email or our Facebook page for class cancellations.
2024-2025 Session Tuition is a monthly fee and cannot be prorated for missed classes. Make-up classes may be scheduled upon request.
Recital
All 2024-2025 Session Classes participate in a Recital at the end of the session in June. If you are not participating in the Recital, you must notify Contemporary Academy of Dance in writing or in email prior to costume orders. If notification is given after a costume is ordered, you are responsible for the full Recital Costume Fee.
The Recital Costume Fee is $65 per student per class due by November 7th. Payments are non-refundable. You are responsible for any costume alterations needed.
