Dance Unlimited Studio Handbook  

We are confident that your child will find this year both challenging
and rewarding. We are looking forward to working with each and every
one of you.  PLEASE KEEP this handbook so you can refer to it throughout
the year.
 
Our goal is to help each student realize their potential and gain confidence,
strength, poise, and coordination through disciplined exercise.  Our success
is predicated on mutual assistance,  respect, and diligent effort between our
team of teachers, students, and parents.  Our aim is to "please". 
All classes are 55 minutes long with the exception of Kinderdance and 
Kinder-gym which are 45 minutes long.

Registration Fee
Please be reminded that your registration fee is due today along with the first
month's tuition and competition class fees. The registration fee is $35 for the
first student and  $15 for each additional student.

Tuition
Tuition is based on a season total which can be paid in 8 monthly installments. 
The first seven installments will be the same regardless of the number of weeks
in the month.   The last installment will be greater than the previous 7 because
it will cover 6 weeks instead of a month.  All classes must be paid in advance.
Tuition is due on or before the first day of  each month.  If you receive a bill,
your tuition is past due.  A  $10 late fee will be added on past due   accounts,
beginning the 2nd day of the month and will accumulate weekly until your
tuition is   current.  When you make your payment the  late fee will be deducted
first.  Vacations do not change when payments are due.  If necessary, your
payment may be mailed to:
       Dance Unlimited Studio
       226 Eastbrooke Pointe Drive
       Mt Washington , KY  40047
 
Tuition can be paid by cash, check, Visa, or Master Card, or debit with credit
card logo.
If for some reason your child can no longer continue classes, please notify Joyce,
our book-keeper. You will be responsible for payment of all classes until she has
been  notified.  Please note that the registration fee and 1st months tuition are
non-refundable.  Competition classes,  please remember the $50 fee is due by
September 30th.  A $10 late fee will be added after September 30th.  A minimum
enrollment for a class is 8 students. If enrollment falls below 8 students we  
reserve the right to reschedule the class, transfer those students and change
tuition.  If you are unable to attend the new time, we will gladly refund
tuition for any classes you have not received.

Returned Checks
There is a $25 fee for NSF checks or checks written on a closed account. In
the event of a non-payment, checks will be turned over to a collection agency
at which time you will be responsible for all costs incurred due to collection. 
We are charged by our bank for returned checks and you must  cover this fee.  
Once we have received two returned checks, we will no longer accept payment
by check.

Absenteeism
When you schedule classes and we hold a time and place for you, those
classes, must be paid for whether you attend or not, this includes private
classes.  We will provide make-up times when feasible. Private classes can
only be made up during a group class (no exceptions).

Snow or Ice Days
If in doubt as to whether we are holding classes or not, please call the studio
number and a message will be left on the answering machine. The days we
are closed are not always the same as the local schools, as weather tends to
worsen as nighttime approaches.  We do not deduct from tuition for snow
days, however, all students are welcome to make-up any classes that are
missed due to snow.

Visitors
No visitors are allowed in the dance rooms during class, including parents.
We find visitors can often be distracting  to the students.  There are windows
in the waiting room, however   the waiting rooms should remain quiet.
Please be sure that any siblings waiting for a student remain seated and quiet.

Conferences
If you or your child have a problem, our staff will be most happy to talk to you
and work toward an amicable solution.  It is not possible during class but a time
can be set up for a conference.  We ask everyone to be patient the first month of
classes.  Some classes may be larger   than we anticipated and we will try to move
students to different classes to eliminate this problem.    Some students will need to
be moved because of their ability.  It is a difficult time and we ask for your patience. 
Please do not try to talk to teachers between classes, it causes them to be late to their
next class.

Bulletin Boards
We encourage parents to check in on their student's classes regularly and to check
the bulletin board for updated information. If your child is absent, or someone brings
your child, it is the PARENT'S RESPONSIBILITY  to check for new information.

Footnotes
"Footnotes" our monthly newsletter will be available monthly in the office. 
Please be sure you pick one up and read the information.

Competition Classes
If you are planning on participating in competition classes, here are a few things
you need to know:
 
*  The competition class fee of $50 per student will cover the cost of long distance
phone calls (to ask directors questions),  the time taken to fill out forms, and collecting
the competition fees and used for expenses to run a competition class.
 
*  Technique classes will be required in addition to your regular classes. They will be
offered on more than one  day and you will be required to attend at least one of these
days.  Payment for these classes will be at the same rate as the regular classes.
 
*  If you feel a competition class/team is for you, then please know that in addition
to these financial commitments  you will be expected to work hard, and be dedicated,
not just for yourself, but the others in your class as well.  Also,  if we choose to go to
a competition or convention,  (whether regional or national) you are expected to
participate. Students in a competition class/team divide the costs of the teachers/
coaches  expenses to nationals. 
*  All competition fees MUST BE PAID 5 WEEKS BEFORE THE ACTUAL
    COMPETITION DATES. 
* Competition students are required to wear black leotards and black tights.

Costumes
A deposit of $50 per one hour class must be paid by November 1st of each year.
If a student takes more than one   hour of instruction and chooses not to do a
particular routine, please notify the office as soon as possible. Whenever  feasible,
we try to use a "two in one" costume for combination classes.  Costume prices do
not include tights and shoes.   The instructor will make the decision as to color of
tights and shoes.  Shoes can be painted to achieve required color.  It is the parent's
responsibility to contact the teacher or check the bulletin board for these instructions.
   (This information will not be sent home)  
The only other expense as far as costumes go may be ribbon for shoes and   hair.
The cost for this has never exceeded  $10.  All costumes must be paid in full before
December 1st.  Paying your balance in full guarantees you being ordered  a costume,
a down payment does not.  Tuition must be current before costumes will be handed
out.  A necessary part of every costume is for everyone to wear makeup during
performance.   Under stage lights this helps to enhance every  student's natural
beauty.

Recital Fee/Tickets
A recital fee of $5 for mini recital is due by Nov. 1st. A recital fee of $50 is due March
1st each year.  The recital fee is  used to produce the recital by paying for scenery,
rental of equipment, etc.   All students are invited to participate.  However, participation
in the recital is not mandatory and students who commit themselves to dance in the
recital MUST attend the dress rehearsal.  Please do not commit to any other activities
on the day of dress rehearsal. We  produce a quality program that we offer at recital.
There is a charge for this program if you choose to purchase one.

Dancewear Items
Dance shoes can be ordered through us, at Vibes or Kinney's. There are several
different styles so please check with  your  instructor as to what you may need.
