The more you dance the more you save!
Dance classes are discounted so that as your child dances more, dance class costs less. Please note that 1 hour per week after the age of six, is more for recreational dancers. For optimum technique, we encourage our dancers to dance at least 2 hours per week once they are 6 years old, and at least 3 hours per week, once they are 9 years old.
Policies:
Recital Costumes are required for each participating student and are due in December. The price for a costume is $75.00. This price includes all accessories, headpieces and tights. Each one hour class that your child is enrolled in requires a costume. Shining Stars (3,4) and Sparkling Stars (5,6) combination classes only need one costume.
Food and Drink - Absolutely NO food or drink is allowed anywhere inside the studio other than water. No coffee, no snacks of any kind, no soda etc. This rule applies to all dancers as well as all parents, siblings and guests. This rule will be strictly enforced.
Class Attire
All students are required to wear a TDS leotard which is embroidered especially for our dancers. Ballet pink tights are to be worn for ballet class, and black or suntan tights for all other classes. At the time of registration, we will inform you of the style of dance shoe which is required for your particular class(es). You may purchase your child's dance shoes at the TDS Dance Store. It is required that all students wear the proper dance shoe and dancewear. Students should wear their hair up neatly. Jewelry should not be worn to class.
Weather Cancellations
The Dance Studio will follow the Easton Public School cancellations. If inclement weather begins during the second part of the day and dance classes are canceled, there will be a message on the answering machine. Call 508-230-7111. If classes are canceled, students may make-up any lessons missed in a similar class, but there are no refunds for missed classes.
School Vacations
The Dance Studio will be closed during the December, February, and April school vacation weeks.
Holidays
The Dance Studio will be open for all Monday Holidays, except Memorial Day. The Dance Studio will be closed for Thanksgiving Break and Memorial Day Break.
Confirmation
Upon registration, your dancer will receive a dance class confirmation stating his/her class(es), teachers, and start date, as well as a listing of the exact dates of holidays and vacations. Now you can register for fall classes online! Also check our website intermittently for current information concerning your child’s dance classes.
Refunds
