Studio Policies
Start Date:
Dance Classes begin August 9, 2010 and continue through May 2010. No classes will be held on major holidays or on school closings or school breaks (Spring break, National Holidays). Classes will be held on ½ days of school or early release days unless otherwise notified of school closing. In the event of inclement weather, you will be notified as soon as possible of class cancellations. Methods for notification will be by email. Please be sure to check your email if the weather is questionable. *School will be closed for one week in late October, and one week in Feb or March for a Dance Teacher Conference/ Seminar.
Absences and Make-up Classes:
There will be no fee adjustments for any classes missed, nor will any missed classes be made-up, unless special arrangements are made. Monthly lessons cost will remain the same, regardless of the number of weeks in the month.
Arrival and Pick-up:
Dancers should arrive no earlier than 10 minutes prior to class time. Please pick up your child promptly after class, and should be picked up no later than 10 minutes after class ends. Please call if you will be late picking up your child.
Class Visitation:
Parents/ guardians are asked not to attend/observe classes with students as this can lead to distractions. However, parents who visit and feel the need to be with their child are asked to not bring or have other children present due to limited space and because of distractions.
End of the year Ministry Presentation:
This year GFSA would like to have a ministry presentation for 2010/2011, involving all classes and allowing students to minister what they worked so hard to learn through out the year.
In order to present our gifts in Excellence before the Lord, the students will need special garments according to their classes, so each garment will vary and average anywhere from $40.00 – $60.00. A Garment deposit of $ 20.00 will be due no later than November 1st. The remainder of the fee will be due March 1st.
Class Rules and Attire
Garments: No “street clothes” please. Proper dance attire and shoes are required. Modesty is a must.
Skirts: May be worn over leotards, but must not be more than mid-thigh in length.
Attitude/ Respect: No gum, food or drinks allowed in class, water is allowed; and no toys allowed.
Please have your child be ready for class by having them use the restroom before coming to class.
No talking while teacher is teaching; coming late is disrespectful to the teacher as well as fellow students; no horsing around; no hitting or disruptive behavior allowed/tolerated
Ministry vs. Performance: At “Grace”Full Steps Academy we strive for excellence in offering our gifts and talents to God. We are not performers, but rather we learn to use our gift and talent to bring glory to God as a tool for ministry.
