Policies & Regulations

Please familiarize yourself and your child with this information.

These policies will be enforced.

ENROLLMENT POLICY:

• Payment: 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.

•  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).

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. 

         *Students who miss the last 2/3 dance classes will not be able to participate in upcoming performances.

• 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.

• 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, 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!
