  Please read these Studio Guidelines!

1. Sign-In: Everyone must sign in at the reception desk before entering the ballroom. This includes individuals and couples using the floor for practice time before or after a lesson. In addition, private lessons and beginner and advanced group classes will be tracked on Students’ cards.

All lessons packages must be paid before the start of each lesson block (on last lesson of the previous lesson block). Students will not be allowed to take lessons until all outstanding balances are paid in full, as per lesson package agreement.

2. Cancellation: All cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations made less than 24 hours will be charged for the lesson as Instructors are paid per lessons taught. Exceptions will be made on a case by case basis. The 24 hour cancellation allows us to rebook waiting students.

3. Refund Policy: We have a No Refund Policy.

4. Payment:  Students who are not enrolled on any lesson package and taking single lessons must prepay the lesson in advance to secure the time slot with the instructor.

5. Group Classes: 
Payments for Group classes Level II - Gold
All group class payments must be paid on the first class of the calendar month. Payments vary from level to level check with the reception desk staff.
Students who are only able to attend half (1/2) of the calendar month, only pay for half (1/2) of the monthly payment but have to notify the reception desk staff about the time frame.
Students attending upper level classes are allowed and encouraged to attend the lower level classes.
Discounts:
 Only active private lesson block students are eligible for the group class discount. An Active Student is defined as someone taking at least four (4) private lessons per month. Discounts cannot be combined.
 Minimum:
If less than four students are in attendance for a class, the studio has the option to cancel the class. Those students attending a cancelled class may substitute a different class within that month.
 Expiration:
 All Level II and above Group Class Programs expire at the end of the calendar month. They can neither be carried over nor extended.

6. Late Payments:
Unpaid amounts carried after the first class of the month will incur a $25 late charge. If your tuition is not paid the student will not be allowed to continue in the class until the tuition is fully paid.

7. Floor Fees: All usage of the Main Ballroom that is not part of a Private Lesson or Group Class will incur a Floor Fee. Check before entering the Ballroom floor about fees and payment. All Floor Fee payments have to be in cash.

8. Warm-up/Cool-down: Students who are not enrolled on the unlimited monthly practices are allowed ten (10) minutes before or after their lesson for warm-up or cool-down. After ten minutes the student/couple will be charged for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes the student/couple will be charged for one hour. No exceptions.

9. Transfer of Lessons: Private Lessons and Group Classes are non-transferable.

Thank you for you cooperation.

 
Housekeeping items
All personal belongings must remain in changing rooms area (Coats, big bags, street shoes etc.). Items that are left on the ballroom dance floor (or at the registration desk) will be removed to make room for those trying to take advantage of the full dance floor.

Only dance shoes or clean and dry dress shoes are allowed onto the dance floor in order to keep the dance floor as clean as possible for all dancers. Purses, wallets, cell phones and water bottle may be put into the shelf area located near restrooms.

No food allowed in the ballroom area.

Please be courteous to ongoing group classes and private lessons when you practice.
 
Studio Practice Hours

Saturday 11AM - 5PM
Sunday Closed

Studio Practice Nights (Times subject to change)

Dress Code (For Advanced Students Only)
Only dance shoes or clean and dry dress shoes are allowed onto the dance floor in order to keep the dance floor as clean as possible for all dancers.

Recommended Studio Dress Code: It is important that the students in advanced levels have the appropriate practice dance shoes and clothes. This will enable the teacher to see the line of the body and legs, rather than hiding it, making it easier to correct posture, movement, and foot errors.

For the first months of dancing for the Beginner dance class, jazz shoes or soft leather shoes (for example: capezios) are recommended. After that, the appropriate dance shoes are required.

Male students need to wear practice pants and female students need to wear practice skirts.
