Tuition & Policies
CLASS AND LEVEL PLACEMENT
Our classes are structured to group dancers with similar levels of experience. This is the most conducive structure for growth. Please consider your first class as a placement class. Instructors will advise on which group a student will be best suited for. Please understand that every studio has varying levels and your dancer may need to change levels if they’re more or less advanced than our designated levels. If you need assistance determining your dancer’s level, please call or email us with a detailed description of your dancer’s training and/or attend one of our classes and let a staff member know you’re wanting your dancer(s) to be evaluated.

Payments can be made on your account by card through the registration portal on our website or can be dropped at the studio in cash or check form. Please make checks payable to Studio B Dance Company.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance is monitored each week. Dancers are encouraged to show up consistently and on time as this promotes a strong work ethic and will give each dancer the best results as it relates to their training. Rehearsals leading up to any performance are mandatory. Too many absences could result in being removed from community performances or recital.
MAKE UP POLICY
Dancers who miss class will have one month to attend a make-up class. They may attend any other class recommended to them by their instructor. This is the responsibility of the parent and dancer to make-up the class. Tuition will not be prorated due to a missed class or holiday. This policy applies to day camps as well.
CLASS DROP
30 days written notice is required to drop a class(es) and/or terminate services. Tuition will continue to accrue during the 30 day period. Any student that drops all classes and then wishes to re-enroll within the same year will be charged the $50 registration fee again. To drop a class or classes, please contact the studio via email (sbdctallahassee@gmail.com).
CLASS OBSERVATION
Classes may be observed from the lobby viewing windows unless specifically invited in by the instructor.
DRESS CODE
Any specific dress code should be viewed as the dancer’s uniform. We will dance the way we look, so please do not show up sloppy or unprepared. Dancers must have their hair secured out of the face in a ponytail or bun. Dancers may only wear blue or black leotard colors. Pink tights are required for ballet. Dancers may wear a blue or black wrap skirt over their leotard. We require black shorts with the studio logo for jazz and acro classes (please contact studio to purchase).
