Greetings Parents & Students! First and
foremost, I want to THANK YOU for
choosing A Dance Place and welcome you to the
2009-2010 dance year. I
truly appreciate your business and promise you
that we will have a fun fun
year! Below are some guidelines that will
ensure a smooth and successful
dance year.
Windsor Studio Location:
New Location beginning August 17th, 2009! We
are moving next door to our current location.
We will be located at 1292 Main Street, Unit 6
(end unit). Please use the rear
entrance to the Windsor
studio so as to avoid disrupting the class in
session and tracking street
shoe residue on the studio floor.
Shoes & Dancewear: We contract with Curtain
Call, a mail-order dance
supply company, to provide all of our shoes and
dancewear. They are
competitively priced and a much better quality
than that of a discount
store. To order the required shoes for your
class (see below) or dancewear
(with FREE shipping), go to
www.curtaincallforclass.com
and select "A Dance
Place" for the studio.
Dress Code
Parent Tot Class - Comfortable clothing and clean athletic shoes
Preschool & Level 1 Classes -
leotard, tights, Capezio Jr. Tyette or Mary Jane
tap shoes, and Capezio pink ballet shoes.
Please replace laces on tap shoes with
elastic so the child can slip the tap shoe on and off her foot.
Ballet - Leotard, pink tights, Capezio
pink ballet shoes, and hair pulled back
preferably in a bun. Check with your
instructor about skirts and other warmups.
Tap - Form fitting dancewear and tap
shoes with Capezio Tele Tone Taps (i.e.
Capezio's Mary Janes for young kids and
Capezio's Tele Tone Extreme for older kids).
Pants must be rolled up and hair must be
pulled away from face.
Jazz, Lyrical, Modern, Pom, HipHop - Form fitting
dancewear and jazz or ballet shoes. No street
clothes, pajama pants or baggy t-shirts. Hair must be pulled
away from face.
Registration & Sessions: We have
"ongoing" sessions and open enrollment at A
Dance Place. This means that once you are
registered, you remain registered until you opt
to discontinue or until the the Spring Recital.
Tuition is charged on a monthly basis, however,
so if you begin a month, you are billed for the
entire month. Students beginning in the middle
of the month, however, will receive prorated
tuition for their first month.
Tuition: You have 4 options in how to
pay your monthly tuition. The first two options
give you the best tuition rate while the second
two options are a little bit higher.
- Pay monthly by Electronic Funds Transfer
(EFT) - your monthly tuition amount will be
automatically debited from your checking or
savings account, on the 1st of each month;
- Pay by semester with check or cash - your
session tuition amount will be payable September
1st for months September - December &
January 1st for months January - June (5 1/2
times your Monthly tuition amount)
- Pay monthly by cash or check - your monthly
tuition amount will be be payable by the 20th of
the month, but you will pay a $5/month service
fee if your monthly tuition is less than
$80/month and an $8/month service fee for
tuition more than $80 per month.
- Pay quarterly by cash or check (Spring
Semester Only) - Three times your monthly
tuition will be payable by January 1 for Quarter
1 (months Jan - March) and April 1 for Quarter 2
(months April - June). Note that you do pay for
6 full months vs 5 1/2 months if you pay the
semester upfront.
If you wish to pay by EFT, please print and
complete the EFT
Authorization Form, and return
it to: 955 Hawkridge Ct, Eaton, CO 80615 or
turn it in at the studio the first week of
class.
Class Absences: Makeup classes are
available if students miss class due to illness,
emergencies or bad weather. Prorated tuition or
"pay per class" is not available. Please ask
your instructor for a suitable makeup class.
Occasionally, instructors will also miss class
due to personal emergencies or bad weather, in
which case every effort will be made to find a
suitable substitute. In the case a suitable
substitute cannot be found, class may be
canceled with a makeup class scheduled at a
later time. If you cannot attend the scheduled
makeup class for any reason, you can attend
another class for a makeup, but prorated tuition
nor refunds will be issued. No exceptions.
In the case of class cancelations due to
instructor emergencies or bad weather, I will
post such news on the website, send all affected
students an email, and leave a voicemail message
on the studio telephone line.
Communication: A Dance Place communicates
virtually 100% via email. Please add
"farrah@adanceplace.com" to your address book
and make sure we have a current email address
for your family on file. Also, please check your
email frequently (this includes your junk
mail, in case your Email provider puts my
messages in there) as important information
regarding upcoming events and your dance
account will be sent to the email address on
file. Lastly, notify Farrah immediately if you
are not receiving studio emails.

Visitors: In order for all students to receive the best training possible, the teacher must have their complete attention. Visitors, including parents, are not allowed inside the dance studio. Guests of the Windsor location are welcome to observe class via the observation window. Unfortunately, there is no waiting room at the Eaton location. We ask that Eaton parents drop off their child but do not stay to watch.
Spring Recital: The annual recital is
scheduled for Tuesday, June 15th at 6:00 PM at
the Union Colony Civic Center Monfort Theater in
Greeley. The recital is an optional performance;
however, everyone is encouraged to participate.
It is a fun and rewarding experience for the
kids and parents. If you do participate,
please recognize the importance of your
commitment to the show.
Thank you in advance for checking your summer
schedules for conflicting
activities.
Recital Fee: A $25 per family recital fee
will be charged to your account March 1, 2010
and will be due April 1, 2010. This fee helps
with costs associated with putting on the
recital such as auditorium rental, props,
programs, etc. Each family will receive 2 adult
tickets into the show with their paid recital
fee. Tickets for other family members and
friends will be $6 for adults and $1 for
children 3 - 12 yrs which can be purchased at
the door. Please feel free to invite all friends
and family. The more the merrier!
Rehearsal: There will be a mandatory
full dress rehearsal on Monday, June 14th
during daytime hours at the Union Colony Civic
Center Monfort Theater. Specific rehearsal
times will be given to you two weeks before
the rehearsal. NOTE: If your child does not
attend the rehearsal, he or she will not
perform in the recital. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Costumes: You will notice that your account
has been charged $44 for each
class in which your child is registered for
costumes. This fee is due February
1st for all students participating in the
recital. IMPORTANT: Students
registering after February 1st, 2010 will not
be allowed to participate in the
recital as it is too late to get a costume.
Please put your costume money on a
check separate from your tuition and label
in the memo field "Costumes".
Please let me know ASAP if your child will NOT
be participating in the recital.
If you have any questions, please call or
email Farrah. We truly THANK YOU for
your business and look very forward to meeting
our new students.
