Studio Policy
ATTENDANCE
Attendance is taken very seriously. Please arrive early enough for your child's class - at least 10 minutes before start time. Student must wait in lobby until class is called. Late arrival is a distraction to the class and teacher. If tardiness is a reoccurring situation, we may need to discuss a change of class time and day. If a student has other obligations that arise AFTER the start of the new year ( i.e: dance company, sport activities, theater activities) their FIRST commitment is to STAGEWORKZ. It is not fair to the other students or teachers if attendance is inconsistent due to other activities. The teachers and the other dancers expect a certain level of commitment from everyone. Please consider this when doing schedules. Choreography for the recital begins in January – it is IMPERATIVE that students attend ALL classes in order to learn the piece. Also if you are enrolled in technique classes, attendance is imperative in your progression as a dancer. Please be respectful to all other students and teachers by having timely and regular attendance.
MISSED OR CANCELLED CLASSES
There is no tuition reduction due to illness or missed classes. All closings due to inclement weather are made up in a comparable class or at a specific rescheduled time.
PHONE CALLS
Phone calls are .25 cents per call. There are no long distance calls.
CLASS PLACEMENT
During registration you will sign a contract that gives full authority to the instructor to determine the level of the dancer. The dancers are placed based on age, ability, technique and where the instructor feels they are best suited. Our instructors are highly trained and make the placement decision in the best interest of the student. If you have questions regarding their placement please do not confront the instructor directly. You may contact the studio and the teacher will get back with you regarding any questions or concerns. Please understand that final placement is the sole discretion of the teacher.
ADDING OR DROPPING CLASSES
If a student wishes to add or drop a class you must make a written request and get PRIOR approval before making any changes. The Stageworkz refund policy is in effect for all dropped classes. Please see our refund policy listed below. If written notice is NOT given and changes are made without prior approval then the student is responsible for any fees that may be accrued. Stageworkz will assume that all students remain in the originally selected classes and the students will be charged accordingly. There will be a fee of $150.00 per class for any cancellations.
CLASS CANCELLATION DUE TO LOW ENROLLMENT
A class must have 3-4 actively enrolled students to continue. If enrollment falls below 3 students, the class will be cancelled and students given the option of either receiving a refund or changing to another class time.
HOLIDAY, WEATHER AND CANCELLATION POLICIES
Our calendar follows the Anne Arundel County Public Schools for inclement weather. In the event of weather closings we will follow the school closing as well. If there is a late school opening due to weather conditions, classes will be held at the regularly scheduled time. If Schools close early due to the weather, classes will be cancelled. Holiday closures will be posted on the calendar of events, located on the bulletin board in the lobby.
CLASS AREAS
No one is allowed in the instruction areas except during observation week. If you need to speak to the receptionist or make a payment, please use the sliding window.
TEACHER CONTACT
Parents are not allowed in the teaching area. If you need to speak with a teacher, please speak with the office personnel or leave a note. Instructors will be more than happy to address any concerns or questions you may have. Be sure to include your home phone number and an e-mail address. Teacher’ schedules are tight and they do not have time before or after class for conversation.
BATHROOM USE
Please try to use the restrooms between classes. Cutting through the classrooms is a distraction to the students and instructor.
DRINK/FOOD
No gum is allowed in the dance studio. No soda is allowed in dance studio. Water is permitted in studio. Snacks are to be consumed in the lobby area only. All trash MUST be disposed of accordingly.
CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE
Please be respectful of your fellow students as well as your instructors. Excessive, rude or inappropriate behavior will NOT be tolerated. If a student disrespects a teacher they will be asked to leave the class immediately and their parents / guardians will be promptly notified. It is teacher discretion to judge what acceptable behavior is.
