Policies & Regulations

Please familiarize yourself and your child with this information.

These policies will be enforced.

SOCIAL DIS-DANCING:

Due to COVID-19, all ”In-Person” dancers MUST wear a mask for the entire dance class and will be placed 5-7 ft apart for social distancing. Temperature check will be taken upon arrival. Our in-person class sizes are also limited to 5-10 dancers. During the registration process, you will be asked to indicate your preference of Virtual or Outdoor/ In-Person classes for you and/ or your child. A waiver form is required for all in-person classes and will be included in the online registration.

ENROLLMENT POLICY:

• Tuition: Tuition or payments are to be made in Full or Monthly INSTALLMENTS before the start of dance class in the form of Online payment, Check or Money-Order (payable to: ‘’STL Dance’’). Any returned checks will incur a $35.00 fee.

• Cancellations/ Refunds: A 100% refund will be given to parents for registrations canceled BEFORE the start of dance class, and a 50% REFUND will be given for registrations canceled AFTER the start of dance class. Class Cancellations due to inclement weather, emergencies and/ or by STLDC are NON-REFUNDABLE (STLDC will do their best to reschedule a class make-up day). Refunds for cancellations will be given if make-ups are not provided. 

• LATE/ NON-PAYMENTS: Dancers WILL NOT be able to continue their dance class if payment is overdue. A late fee of $5 dollars will be added to your child’s tuition after a 5 day grace period. Parents and the Schools main office (Mobile only), will be notified in advance before a child is removed from class. 

STUDENT POLICY:

• Arrival & Attendance: It is very important that students arrive to dance class ON-TIME and are present for all dance classes/ practices, as excessive absences and tardiness can prevent a student’s progress UNLESS excused absences (illness, funeral, mandatory school/church functions). There are no Make-Up classes for students who are absent. 

         *Consequences for an excessive amount of absences will be left to the choreographer’s discretion. 

• Behavior/Discipline: Appropriate behavior is expected of all dance participants. Respectful interactions between dancers and instructors are essential to having a successful program experience. Bullying, fighting, inappropriate behavior/language and continual disregard for STLDC policies and procedures WILL NOT be tolerated. Instructors will do their best to redirect any misbehavior and resolve any issues to achieve a positive outcome for all involved. If positive outcomes cannot be achieved, or if a participant exhibits continuous disruptive behavior, ”Sky’s The Limit School of Dance” reserves the right to suspend or dismiss the participant from the program without refund.

*Parents/Guardians are responsible for any facility damages caused by the student.

RULES & PROCEDURES:

1. Students are to come to class with a POSITIVE and Ready to Learn and Dance Attitude!
2. No gum, food, or drinks allowed in class. A water bottle is permitted.
3. Students are to arrive ON TIME to class with proper attire, shoes, and hair secured. No jewelry may be worn.
4. Students are to be RESPECTFUL to their instructor and peers.

PARENT POLICY:

• Pick-Up: DO NOT GO THROUGH THE IN-SCHOOL DAYCARE (Mobile locations ONLY)! Pick-up will start exactly on-time and take place in front of the Main Building. 

• Late Pick-Up: Please call or text your child’s dance instructor if you will be running late. Please mention Child’s Name, School, and Grade. 

Late fees are as follows: $1 dollar per minute AFTER a 5 minute grace period. 

Late fees will be added to your child’s tuition.

• Medical Information: It is extremely important that we have all necessary medical information concerning your child. The responsibility for administering medications rests with the participant’s school nurse, the parent or legal guardian. It is important that all medication be taken at home or before dance class. No STLDC staff/ volunteer is permitted to administer medication.***PLEASE INFORM US if your child needs to bring a prescription drug or device (i.e inhaler, EpiPen) for preventive reasons or emergency conditions such as seizures, heart conditions, asthma, or allergy conditions. MUST BE SELF-CARRIED BY PARTICIPANT.

• Parent & Staff Communication: All communication is to be conducted at a proper time and respectful manner. All communication matters are to be handled BEFORE or AFTER class: NOT during your child’s practice, showcase, nor in front of dancers/ parents.

We are always opened to new ideas but do understand that the choreographer and Director do have the final say.

We are a GOSSIP, NEGATIVE & BULLYING FREE Dance Zone!
