studio policies

• Dynamic Dance Arts reserves the rights to cancel, combine, or change classes based on enrolment and scheduling conflicts. Students may be asked to change class levels either up or down should the instructor feel it is necessary. 
• Parents and other spectators are not allowed in the dance rooms while class is in progress. Instructors will open the blinds at the end of class for viewing. 
• Only water is allowed in the dance rooms.
•  No males are allowed in the female change room (including fathers). Should you need to change your dancer, please use the male change room or one of our unisex washrooms. 
• No outside shoes are allowed in the dance rooms. Please leave all boots and other outdoor shoes in change room or at the door.

• Payments are based off the FULL year and divided into equal monthly or instalment payments for convenience. 
• Discounts can not be combined. 
• Registration fees are non-refundable. 
• Any payments made after the 10th of the month will be charged a late fee of $10. Payments made at the end of the month are charged $20. 
• All discounts are no longer valid after December 1st. Any new registrations will not be eligible.

Costume deposits are required for each dance class you are enrolled in. The first ($40) is due by October 31st and the second is due by December 31st. Costumes are only ordered once both deposits have been paid. After January 1st, students are held responsible for all remaining costs associated with their costumes.

All students who wish to withdraw from the program need to provide notice to DDA within two (2) weeks of their withdrawal date. All students who withdraw within the first month of dance are given a full refund of any unused weeks.  

• Monthly payments - should a student exit in the middle of the month, no partial payments will be refunded. Payment will be discontinued on the first of the month following their withdrawal 
• Instalment payments - any unused dance weeks that have been paid will be prorate and reimbursed should a student choose to withdraw 

In the event that DDA needs to close due to weather or other unforeseen reasons, classes will be rescheduled at a time and date suitable for all the instructors. Should a student be unable to attend the make up class, no refunds will be given.

 In the event that a make up class is not scheduled by the studio, DDA will credit the amount for that week. 

Any classes missed by the student for any reason are not refunded or credited. Students may take a make up class when appropriate and pre-approved by DDA staff. Make up classes must be taken within four (4) weeks of original missed date. No make up classes will be given from January onward.

In the event of a natural disaster/act of God that compromises the duration of the dance season, all costume deposits and balances remain non-refundable. Every effort will be made by DDA to make up lost time. Tuition refunds will only be applied if DDA is unable to provide make up classes. Credits can be issued and carried over into the new dance season should a student be unable to attend the make up classes.
