BDC Policies

Tuition

There are 3 Semesters during our “dance season.”
Tuition is due in Full, the 1st dance class of each Semester. (Please refer to “Important Dates / Calendar” for Semester Payment Schedule)
Tuition is Non-Refundable

Late Tuition Payment

A Late Fee will be applied if Tuition is not received by the due date.
NO EXCEPTIONS!
This fee must be paid, before your dancer can participate in their next class.
Dancers may observe class, only, until payment is made.
BDC reserves the right to discontinue a dancer’s classes due to non-payment of tuition and fees when necessary.

Missed Classes and Refunds:

Due to the fact that our classes are full each dance season, we do not have the capacity for students to attend a make up class. We do not issue refunds for missed classes due to illness, vacation, etc.

Non-Sufficient Fund Checks

There is an additional fee for Non-Sufficient Fund Checks. Recurring Non-Sufficient checks from an individual will result in the acceptance of Cash or Money Order, Only, for future payments.

Payment Method

“We accept Check, Cash, Money Order, or Credit Card / Bank Account on File in your “Parent Portal.”

Shoes/ Tights

In order to maintain visual consistency in all of our classes and during our recitals, we require all Shoes and Tights purchases be made through BDC.

“Shoe Day” is in August. Each child will be properly fitted for the correct shoe and size.

Bad Weather/ Vacation Days

We cancel classes only when Fairmont Area Schools are cancelled. ** Please Check Facebook for Cancellations
Yes, we DO hold classes on Monday holidays!

Classroom Observers

We do not allow classroom observation, as it is distracting to our dancers. If there is a concern for your dancer, we will contact you directly.

Drop Off and Pick Up

Students should arrive no more than 10 minutes prior to their class, and must be picked up immediately  after class. If you are unable to pick your child up when their class is finished, please contact the Studio Office.
