Our School Year Schedule remains the same throughout the 10-month school year (September to June), but you only make a monthly commitment. Classes are held once or twice a week – depending on the program. Almost all of our students stay year-round so they can attend our two exciting shows in December and June! To cancel a class, parents or guardians must complete and sign the withdrawal form available at the front desk by the 14th of the previous month. If you do not notify us by the 14th of the previous month, tuition will be charged on the 15th and is non-refundable. All withdrawals require two weeks notice.

DISCOUNTS: Please note, discounts will be applied manually by the front-desk before your billing cycle starts.

Sibling Discount: 10% off the less expensive class.

The dress Code applies only to kids classes.

At Dance Fever Academy, we believe dance attire should be appropriate for each class. NO street shoes on the dance floor please. If a child forgets to bring dance shoes they can attend the class wearing socks.

June Tuition: June includes only two weeks of classes, but monthly tuition remains the same. Our tuition is based on an average four-week month throughout the dance season. Some months have five weeks of classes, and we do not charge extra for those additional weeks, which balances out the shorter months.

DFA and its staff are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Please leave valuables at home. We reserve the right to dismiss or refuse classes to anyone who does not comply with these policies, creates an unsafe environment, or who otherwise in our judgment disrupts the harmony or reputation of DFA. *Students that are not potty-trained, parents are required to remain in the building during class.

Safety: The safety of all of our students at DFA is very important to us. Please make sure a parent or guardian is present at the end of every class to pick up your student. Your child is unsupervised and we cannot be responsible for them after their class has ended. Transition periods between classes can be very hectic and we want to make sure every student is safe and taken care of.

Weather Closing Days: DFA will decide if we will remain open during a snow/ice storm. A text message will be sent to all families by 3pm if we decide to close Monday-Friday or by 8am on Saturdays. Because this is completely out of our control, we cannot provide makeup lessons for each class, however, we will allow you to attend any group class the following week as a make-up.
