Visiting Days

 Parents and friends are invited to visit and receive information about rectal in the second semester. Detailed information will follow as to the exact day.  Please speak with your child’s instructor about visiting during other times. For the privacy of our students, we ask you not to record class or take photos of class. When the teacher thinks it is necessary for the development of the class, they will invite you to film with the permission of all the dancers’ parents.

Withdrawal Policy

 If a child does not wish to continue in a class, please speak with office staff for the account to be inactivated. You will be held responsible for monthly payments regardless of the number of absences until you have officially withdrawn your child..

Make-up Classes

We encourage our students to attend regularly to make sure they continue to learn, improve, and rehearse with their class members. However, sometimes students must miss a class. Although a refund cannot be given for these absences or missed classes, we will be happy to schedule a make-up class, if available Between August and December.  Make Up class after December will not be available due to classes working on recital dances. Please call the office to find out when make-up times are available

 

Inclement Weather

During times of severe weather, such as snow or tornadoes, BJSD emphasizes that safety is our top priority. We encourage everyone to use his or her best judgment in deciding to travel to the studio during severe weather. If BJSD must close due to weather, we will try to post it on our web site as soon as possible.

 

Picture Days

Professional individual and group pictures are taken during BJSD Picture Days.  Schedules will be distributed during the second semester..

Tuition

Tuition is due for every month between August (or your starting month) and May regardless of classes missed or holidays. Since your monthly tuition is based on a yearly tuition, you are NOT paying for the same number of classes each month so months with less classes (like December) are offset by months with more classes. In other words, you are responsible for paying for each month whether you come or not. (See also” Make up classes”)

Other Payment Information

  • Statements and bills will only be sent to past due accounts.

  • For payments made by checks, dancer’s first and last name must be on ALL checks.

  • For payments made in cash, be sure to get a receipt! This is your proof of payment! Please keep your receipts.

  • A $35 fee will be assessed for each returned check.

Please be aware that if your account balance becomes delinquent by more than two months, you will need to speak directly with the office for your child to be able to continue taking classes.
