Studio Policies
Over 50 Years of Experience | Recreational and Competitive Classes | Classes for All Ages
Tuition
Monthly tuition payments are due the first full week of every month, payable by cash, check or through Venmo. A $10 late fee will be added to any account not paid by the 10th of each month. There will be a $20 fee for any returned checks.
Call Suffield Performing Arts Center to learn more.
Attendance
It is very important for all dancers to keep good attendance records. When a student is repeatedly absent, it makes it very difficult for both the teacher and the student to make up missed class time. Please call the studio or email if a class will be missed. The studio phone number is
(860) 846-2063 and our email is
suffperartscente@aol.com.
There are no refunds for missed classes.
Attire
Leotards and tights (any color) are best for dance class, leggings are acceptable with a tank or fitted tee. Shorts may be worn as long as knees are covered. Hair should be tied back securely away from the face.
Comp Team Attire
Team dress code is SOLID black for all classes. Leggings, sports bras, tanks and fitted t’s are fine for tap, jazz and lyrical classes. A black leotard, pink tights and hair in a SECURE bun must be worn for ballet please! A secure bun for jazz and lyrical, also, but a high pony is fine for tap.
Shoes
Shoe orders will be taken the first week of classes. Payment for shoes is due at the time of ordering.
Call us to learn more.
Costumes
Recreational class costumes usually cost between $65 and $70 for each class (shoes and tights are not included). A non-refundable deposit of $60 per costume will be due by November 15th with the remaining balance due by January 15th. Competitive costume deposits are due by October 15th with remaining balances due by January 15th.
Class Pictures
Our picture day is held at the studio in middle to late April. Individual pictures of your favorite dancer may also be taken at that time. Prices for individual pictures will be available that day.
Recital
Our recital and dress rehearsal will be held at Suffield Middle School in late May or early June, depending on what will be approved by the school department. Dress rehearsal will be either on the Friday or Saturday night before the Sunday show.
Class Cancellations
If classes are to be cancelled because of inclement weather conditions or for any other reason, I will send a text or email. Please note that a few Friday classes may have to be rescheduled in the spring due to conflicts that may arise with our competition teams.
The studio will be closed for major holidays. We close for Christmas break, December 24-January 1, and a week in April. Generally, we remain open for the February school break.
