To ensure the smooth, safe running of Squamish Dance Centre and an enjoyable experience by all, below you will find our policies. As always, we are open to feedback, so if any of our policies outlined below are unclear or concerning, please give us a call to discuss further. Following a formal meeting, we do reserve the right to dismiss or taking disciplinary action on any students or parents who breach our studio’s policies.
​

REGISTRATION: Our dance year runs progressively from September-June. All classes are based by the full dance year, not by the tuition terms. Registration can be completed on-line, by visiting our front desk, or sending an email or phone call. There is a $30.00 non-refundable registration fee per child. If a class is full, you will automatically be put on our waitlist and we will help place your child in an alternate option. If a class is not at minimum capacity by the second week of class start date, the class will be cancelled and refunded. Registration closes January 6th, as we begin preparations for our year end recital.

FEES: Squamish Dance Centre accepts automated Visa/MasterCard payments, post dated cheques and E-transfers. All fees are to be paid by the scheduled due dates.  There is a 15% late fee applied to any fees not paid by the due date. There is a NSF charge of $30.00 applied to each NSF or returned cheque. Repayment of NSF cheques, are due two weeks from date of cheque. Tuition is not refundable after the first two weeks of the term start date. There are no refunds for a student absence. 

WITHDRAWAL: Withdrawal must be submitted by email to Squamish Dance Centre. Word of mouth or student absence is not be considered as notification. Tuition is not refundable after the first two weeks of a term start date. There is a $20.00 withdrawal fee per dropped class. Post dated cheques will be returned once withdrawal is complete. Automated card payment will be cancelled once withdrawal is completed. Registration and costume fees are not refundable.

CANCELLED CLASSES: If Squamish Dance Centre cancels a class due to emergency, i.e., inclement weather, teacher illness, the effected classes will be rescheduled. If the class cannot be rescheduled, a credit to your studio account will be applied. All classes are in session as usual during Pro-D Days and holidays unless stated otherwise on our calendar.

ATTENDANCE: Dancers are expected to attend all scheduled classes. Our programs are progressive, any missed classes will result in behind with class progression. Please inform our office of any expected absence by using the form on our website. There are no refunds for absences.

DROP OFF AND PICK UP: Please let our office know if anyone other than a parent/guardian will be picking your child up. Squamish Dance Centre is not responsible for any children left unattended in between classes. The studio closes 15 minutes after the last class of the night. All students must be cleared out of the studio by closing time. 

OBSERVATION: If the studio doors are closed, please do not open to peak thru. This is a distracted to both dancers and teachers. We have observation TV’s in both our upstairs and downstairs waiting areas, where you can watch your child’s class in progression. We also host Observation Week, allowing you to sit in class and see your child’s growth and accomplishments first hand. 

BEHAVIOUR: Squamish Dance Centre strives to provide an inclusive, caring and respectful environment. Our dancers are expected to demonstrate the same qualities towards themselves and others. Any behaviour considered unacceptable will result in the child being asked to leave the classroom. If negative behaviour is consistent, a private meeting will be set up outside of studio hours with the child's parent/guardian. Continual behaviour may result in expulsion.

ATTIRE: Our dress code is in place to allow teachers to properly and safely apply corrections to students. Any dancers that do not follow the dress code may be asked to sit out during class. No loose jewelry is to be worn during class for the safety of the dancer. All dancers are expected to wear their hair off the face in a secure tight bun or pony tail. 

LOST AND FOUND: There is a Lost & Found bin in our front entrance and the upstairs waiting area. At the end of each month, all unclaimed items will be donated. Squamish Dance Centre is not responsible for any lost, broken or stolen belongings. It is recommended to label all shoes, ballet skirts, water bottles and other belongings.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES: Electronic devices are to be turned put on silent mode inside the classroom and not attended too, unless there is an emergency. Any dancers who tend to their electronic devices during class will be asked to leave the classroom. Any dancers found using their electronic device for negative purposes inside and outside the studio, may result in expulsion.
