Policies and Procedures

Our Dance Class Location:

We are conveniently located within The Movements Complex at 1000 NW 1ST AVE, BOCA RATON, FL 33432 in East Boca Raton.

Dancer Drop Off / Pick Up:

Please do not drop dancers off more than 10 minutes prior to the start of class. Students should put on proper dance shoes prior to entering the studio. Supervision is not provided in the lobby, and we will not be held responsible for students once they are released from class. Please call and let Roman Dance Company and The Movement Complex know if you will be late for pick up.

Dress Code:

Class will require comfortable clothes that allow freedom of movement without distraction, and sneakers or sturdy closed-toe shoes. Hair recommended to be up or in a manner allowing freedom of movement.

Personal Items:

The dance studio is not liable for lost items.

Please label your dance supplies with name or initials and leave valuable jewelry and electronics at home.

Cell phones, food and drinks are to be put away, or in a place that it will not be a distraction. Water is strongly recommended to be brought to class.

Class Etiquette:

Minimal talking, active watching and listening carefully is a critical part of the learning experience. 

Respect - All students should have respect for their teachers and classmates. They should listen when their teacher corrects another student as the suggestion may also apply to them. Students should NOT correct each other. 

Class Attendance:

Students must attend class regularly, as it is imperative to the progress of both the individual student and the class as a whole. Missing class puts your child behind and it slows down the learning process for the rest of the children in the class when trying to catch your child up. If your child must miss class for any reason, please notify the studio by phone prior to the absence, so that the instructor may plan for your child’s absence accordingly. Students with excessive absences may be required to take private lessons (at an additional cost to the parent/guardian) to catch up or may be required to withdraw from the class (or classes).

Tardiness:

Arriving on time is crucial to the learning environment and safety of dancers. The first 10 minutes are crucial warm up time. Stretch exercises prevent injuries. Being tardy is disrespectful to the teacher, it disrupts the class, and can be harmful if a dancer misses the proper warm up. If a dancer arrives late and misses warm up, it is up to the teacher’s discretion to let the dancer participate or sit out. Non-participation due to tardiness will not result in refunded tuition. Please call the studio to let us know if your dancer will be tardy so proper arrangements can be made.

Class Make-Up Policies:

If your dancer misses or plans to miss a class or is absent from a class due to being sick or personal reason, you are welcome to do a make-up class. The class must be age/level appropriate and must be equivalent to the class missed. Make-up classes must be scheduled ahead of time by contacting Roman Dance Company. Please contact us if you have questions regarding this policy. 

Tuition:

Classes are based on four (4) week months. There is no additional charge for 5 week months. Consequently, there are no deductions for holidays, missed classes, or partial month payments. Tuition is charged to the card on file on the 1st of the month. All tuition payments are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE. No credits or refunds are given when your child is absent from a class - no matter what the reason.

Insufficient Funds:

If a payment does not go through for any reason, the charge will be attempted again the following day. It is the parent’s responsibility to keep billing information up to date in their online customer account. If unable to use a credit card temporarily, cash or check payment must be brought. If tuition is not paid by the 15th of the month, a $15.00 late fee will be applied to balance. Students from families whose accounts are 30 business days past due will not be eligible to attend class. Returned checks are subject to a $30 insufficient funds fee.

If a student needs to withdraw for any reason, a withdrawal form must be completed. A 30 day notice is required for tuition billing to discontinue. All performance, costumes, or competition fees already paid are non-refundable.
