Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

HOW DO I CHOOSE A CLASS?

Students are placed according to age and ability. If at any time the teacher feels that the placement is incorrect, you will be notified and the situation will be rectified. The first priority is to place children where they will progress, with the day and the time of the class secondary. Please try to be flexible with scheduling so your child can make the most of his or her dance experience.

WHAT IF I MISS A CLASS?

Good attendance is necessary to ensure maximum progress in class. If an injury does not allow you to take class, please come and watch. There are no refunds for missed classes. Please phone The Dance Center when a student will be absent and plan for a makeup class. If at any time you wish to cancel your program, please extend us the courtesy of a phone call or note. We do not re-register each semester and will assume you are continuing if we do not hear otherwise.


WHAT IS THE SNOW DAY POLICY?

In case of inclement weather, forecasts of large amounts of snow or unsafe driving conditions, please call The Dance Center one hour prior to your class to check if classes have been cancelled.


WHAT ABOUT RECITALS?
Our annual recital will be held Jon a date to be announced at Monty Tech’s Stratos Dukakis Theater in Fitchburg, MA. The Dance Center has 2 day performances and 2 evening performances allowing each student the opportunity of performing in 2 shows. After our December Holiday Break, students will be notified which 2 shows they will perform in. Although it is not mandatory, all students are encouraged to participate. Students who do not participate will receive their regular dance training and will not be excluded from their dance class. There is a costume fee per class due in November with the balance due in March. Please note that once the commitment is made, there are no refunds. Costumes are ordered early to ensure we receive them on time.


WHAT IF I AM LATE TO CLASS?

Please plan to arrive at The Dance Center early enough to be ready for the start of class(es). Not only is it a matter of encouraging good manners and responsible behavior, but lack of proper warm-up can lead to unnecessary injuries. If you are late, please enter the studio quietly.


WHERE DO I WAIT?
Parents and students are asked to sign in at the front desk upon arrival to The Dance Center and wait in each studio’s designated waiting area. No one is allowed in the dance classroom without a teacher. Parents of younger students are asked to wait with their student until class begins.


DURING CLASS
Students are not allowed to enter or leave the studio without permission of the teacher in charge of their class. Parents, guardians and friends are not allowed in the class.


AFTER CLASS
Students must wait in the waiting area outside their dance classroom for a parent or guardian. For safety reasons, students may not leave The Dance Center without a parent or guardian.
