PAYMENT POLICIES

All registered students and their parent/guardian must sign (or approve online) a yearly POLICY FORMbefore they are admitted to class. The first monthly tuition and registration fee must be received before a student is officially registered. Admittance is on a first-come, first-served basis. All monthly tuitions are due by the first calendar day of the month. A $25 late fee per account will be assessed after the 5th day of each month. Students will not be admitted to classes if tuition is past due. Monthly tuition is determined on a calendar month basis. Tuition rates are the same each month regardless of the number of weeks. TUITION IS DUE A MONTH IN ADVANCE TO ELIMINATE A JUNE PAYMENT. You may choose to pay the entire 10-month tuition in advance, but please note that payments are non-refundable.

MISSED CLASSES & MAKE-UP CLASSES

There are no refunds for missed classes once a tuition payment is received. Make-up classes are available and encouraged. Please arrange your make-up class with the office. Missed classes may be made up within one month.

DROPPING CLASSES

If a student would like to drop out of any class, the parent/guardian must sign a DROP FORM before Allegro stops invoicing for payment. Monthly tuition and late charges apply if a drop form is not signed.

CALENDAR

Allegro will be closed on Columbus Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas break, Winter break, Easter, Spring break and Memorial Day. These holidays/vacations have been accounted for in monthly tuition payments. Please CLICK HERE for the complete 2011-2012 calendar.

COSTUME DEPOSITS & BALANCES

Allegro’s recital is full of professional lighting, costumes, and music. Students are asked to purchase a costume for each class. A $50 costume deposit (per class) is due November 15th. Balances are due March 15th. Costumes cost an average of $80.

PICK UP PROCEDURE

All students under the age of 13 are asked to wait in the lobby for their parents after class. For their safety, we ask that you come up the stairs to pick them up. Our older dancers are reminded to always leave with a buddy or ask a member of our staff to escort you to the parking lot. Although, we have never had an incident - we would much rather be safe than sorry!!!

INCLEMENT WEATHER AND MAKE-UP CLASS POLICY

With regard to inclement weather, morning classes will always be cancelled if Nashua Public Schools are cancelled. Afternoon classes may still be held, however. Please call the studio (603.886.7989) and listen to the message on the answering machine or check your email. We will send an email and change the voicemail by 2pm.

The first time your classes are cancelled due to weather, we recommend you come to another class in your level as a make-up. For example, if you are enrolled in level 5 Ballet and your class is cancelled, you may attend any level 5 class (tap, jazz, hip-hop, etc.) within 30 days of the cancelled class. If your class is cancelled more than once because of weather, we will find a time to offer a separate make-up class or we will try to add time before or after your class for several weeks to make-up your class.

* Please note - when classes are cancelled due to weather you are not required to make them up. Your perfect attendance eligibility will not be affected. Your dance team attendance requirement will not be affected. You are welcome to make-up the class because you paid for it!!!

DRESS CODE

Allegro has attire and shoe requirements for all students. A dress code add uniformity, promotes teamwork and discipline in the classroom. Females should wear hair off their face for all classes. Jewelry should be limited to stud earrings. Male students should wear black jazz or sweat pants, a white t-shirt and proper footwear.

DANCE STUDIO ETTIQUETTE

The dance studio is a place where we all come to have fun but we also come to learn. Here are a few rules to keep in mind when at the studio so you and your children will get the most out of their experience:

1. Arrive on time. If you are more than 10-15 minutes late, your teacher may ask you to sit and watch class to prevent injury from missing the warm-up and to avoid interrupting to the rest of the class.
2. Be dressed appropriately for class!
3. Be quiet and respectful in all areas of the studio including the common areas!
4. No chewing gum.
5. Pick up after yourselves in dressing rooms, classrooms, hallways and the play area.
