We ask all students and parents to read and abide by all of the studio's policies.
This will allow us to do what we really love to do: teach dance!

Email Notifications

• All studio information and updates are sent via email. In order to continue to receive all of our notices, please be sure to notify the office of any address changes. 

Tuition

• Tuition is based on a monthly rate and is payable the first lesson of every month. The fee remains constant whether there are three, four or five weeks in the month. A $5.00 service fee will be imposed on all accounts not paid within the current month. Payments can be received through cash, check, or through PayPal (walpoledance@gmail.com). A $15 fee will be added to all returned checks. 

Attendance

• Dancers learn through practice. We expect our students to attend classes regularly, as it is the only way to improve technique. Missed classes affect personal progress as well as the class' progress. Please call/email the studio if you will be absent. There are no refunds for absences or class cancelations due to weather.

Parent Observation Weeks

• Refer to our calendar page for the dates of our "Peek Weeks," when classes will be open to parents for observation. We ask that parents make other arrangements for infants and toddlers, as they can be very distracting when students are trying to do their best. 

Storm Related Closing

• Call the studio for a recorded message regarding class cancellations due to inclement weather. Please note: The studio does not automatically close if Walpole schools are cancelled. When in question, call the studio for a recorded message or check our Facebook/Instagram pages.

Photos and Videos

• Photos and videos are occasionally taken during classes, rehearsals and performances.  These pictures and videos are used on our website, social media outlets, and/or any publications for advertising. If you do not wish to have your child photographed and videoed, please inform the office.

Other Studio Policies

• Parents are responsible for the behavior and safety of their children. Our waiting room is for sitting, doing homework, etc. Children are not permitted to run in the waiting room or through the hallway at any time. The studio is not a playground. Toys and other materials are not to be spread over the waiting room floor. Siblings and friends brought into the studio are to be monitored at all times. Horseplay inside or outside the building will not be tolerated. We reserve the right to ask anyone who is disruptive to leave. 
• A vacant studio is not to be played or loitered in.
• The studio office is a private area. Students/families may enter only when a faculty member is present.
