PAYMENTS policy
-
A non–refundable annual class registration fee of $35 per student or $55 per family is due upon registration.
Tuition is based on the dance year (September - May…Please refer to Studio Calendar for specific dates.) and divided into equal payments regardless of how many classes are in each month. These monthly fees are averaged over the school year taking into consideration five-week months and holidays.
We offer an “early tuition” discount of $10 off when your tuition is paid by the 15th of the preceding month (meaning October tuition is due before September 15th).
The “Early Tuition Rate” of $10 off will be charged if paid by the 15th. To receive this “early tuition rate” payments must be made by the 15th.
After the 15th of the preceding month you will be charged the “regular rate” tuition.
If tuition is not paid by the 5th of the month, you will be charged an additional late fee of $5.
No credit is given for absences or vacations. Payment is expected for all classes, even if you have to miss class because of illness, school function or quit the class in the middle of the month. Tuition is due on time, even if your child did not attend class during the payment week.
All tuition is non-refundable.
Payments may be made by check, credit card, or cash, in person or at either studio. All checks should be made to Dance Impressions. There is a $15 fee for all returned checks, and thereafter will not be resubmitted to the bank.

This policy is for everyone. Since everyone at Dance Impressions is treated equally, there are no exceptions to this policy. Past due costume fees will also incur a late fee charge. Students will not be able to participate in any Dance Impressions activity, performance, or class if the account is more than 30 days past due.

Upon enrollment, students are expected to complete the dance season until the end of May. If a student wishes to withdraw from class, we must receive written notification before the 15th of the preceding month to avoid any additional tuition costs. No tuition refunds will be issued. You are responsible for all payments until the written notice is received. There are no refunds of the Registration Fee at any time, for any reason. If a student discontinues after they have committed to participating in the year-end recital, they will be responsible for all charges due, such as costumes, whether participating in the show or not.
-
If you wish to transfer or change classes, written notification to the front desk is also required before the 15th of the preceding month. We will try our very best to accommodate you. Some classes are on waiting list so please be courteous to others by notifying the front desk of ALL CHANGES. We are sorry but class changes for recital participants can not be accommodated after December 15th, costumes have been ordered and confirmed. Please see the front desk immediately if you have a concern.

studio procedures
-
>> For Drop Off: Students should be dropped off no earlier than 5 minutes before class time, enter through assigned doors and head directly into class.
>> For Pick-Up: Students should be picked up immediately at the conclusion of class time. Students should remain inside waiting for their ride home.
>> Last class of the night: If your dancer is in the last class of the night, they must be picked up immediately following their class. A late fee may be assessed if your dancer is left at the studio for more than 10 minutes.
-
Students are expected to be respectful and attentive in class to teachers and their fellow classmates. As a safety concern, no hanging on barres or hands on mirrors will be permitted. Polite behavior and good manners should be displayed throughout the class. The teacher will encourage the class to work together towards a common goal. Good attitude, good attendance and practice at home are expected from each student. Dance Impressions is a private studio and reserves the right to dismiss any student who disregards Dance Impressions policies, shows inappropriate behavior, or upsets the harmony of the school.
-
Dance Impressions is not responsible for any lost personal items, including but not limited to: jewelry, clothing, shoes, school books, etc. Please help us return lost items to you by labeling every item that comes into the studio. Please check the Lost and Found bin periodically. Please note, every couple of months we clean out the lost and found bin, and any items without names that are remaining will be donated to charity.
-
Since it is important for all students to remain focused while in the class-room, no visitors are permitted into the classroom.
One week in the fall and one week in the spring, parents are invited into the classroom for Parent Watch Week to see what we have been working on in preparation for upcoming recitals. (Please refer to Studio Calendar for specific dates.)
Children should not be in the waiting room if they are not waiting to take class. If you need to have your children with you at the studio, we ask you to please wait in the car. We do not have the space to accommodate families waiting for their dancers in the lobby, and the noise is a distraction to the dancers in class. Dropping off your dancer and picking up after is strongly encouraged! -
Each year the studio presents a Winter Review and an annual Spring Recital held in an auditorium for the Recreational Dance program.
The Winter Review will be held in December. (Please refer to Studio Calendar for specific dates.) The Winter Review Show Fee of $40.00 (for your first routine/dancer) and/or $30.00 (for additional routines or additional dancer in the same family) is due on October 9 for participating dancers. Review fees include basic holiday attire that each dancer will keep. In lieu of charging entry fees to our Winter Review, Dance Impressions accepts non-perishable food items and donates them to the food pantry. Donations will be accepted the week prior to the event (at either studio), or the day of the performance at the Winter Review as well.
Our annual Spring Recital will be held in May at the Austad Auditorium at the Val A. Browning Center at Weber State University. Dancers purchase and keep their Spring Recital costumes. The costume fee will be $75 per dancer, per routine or class, which includes tights and all accessories. Costume orders are due in the office by December 11th and must be paid in full for your costume to be ordered. A one-time family Spring Recital fee of $45 will be due on March 15, which also includes a digital recording of the show and t-shirt(s). These are the only fees for the Spring Recital. Please note that recital and costume fees are non-refundable once a dancer has given their commitment. There are no ticketing fees for the Spring Recital, it is a free event.
Please note that these Showcase/Recitals are not required, but most definitely encouraged for the growth and development of each dancer!
