To be effective, dance training must be consistent. The curriculum is designed to carry each student forward in every class. Absences and tardiness can disrupt the rest of the class and the dancers' progress.
If a dancer is missing class on a continual basis it will hold back their individual progress and, even more, slow the progress of the whole class. Please call the studio if a dancer will be absent from class. If a dancer drops a class, tuition will continue to accrue until the studio is notified.
| POLICIES & DANCE ETIQUETTE |
- ALL DANCERS must have hair securely pulled back away from their face and neck for class. In a BUN for Ballet; NO messy buns please!
- Dance attire, dance shoes or costumes are not to be worn outside. Please wear cover-up clothing over your leotard and tights when coming to and leaving the studio and performances.
- Jewelry should not be worn in class. Leave valuables at home; Billings Dance Academy will not be responsible for any lost or stolen items.
- NO street shoes, gum, food, drinks or cell phones in the studios.
- Mark dancers' name in all dance shoes, clothing, costumes, etc.
| DANCE ATTIRE REQUIREMENTS |
- Class Dance Attire and Shoes are available through the studio
- At performance time dancers will be required to have the items on the Required Dance Attire List in order for us to build a costume over an identical base of tights, shoes, leotards, etc.
Dancers will purchase costumes for the end of the year performance.
Costumes can range in costs from $40 - $80 each. A non-refundable deposit of $30, for each class, is due by November 15th. The remaining balance is due by February 1st.
Some classes may be required to purchase additional items for costumes. For example; Tan Jazz Shoes or a different color pair of Tights. You will be informed ahead of time if any additional items will be needed.
The studio also has a small but growing stock of Rental Costumes that some classes will use for performances and shows. Dancers will pay a $10 Rental Fee for the use of the costumes. If a Rental costume is not returned or is returned in poor condition an additional $10 fee will be charged.
Additional costumes may be needed for dancers participating in Competitions.
