Full tuition must be paid at the time of registration to hold your seat.

No refunds will be issued after the first class.
There is no option to cancel and receive credit toward future classes.
Missed & Canceled Classes
If an instructor must cancel class due to an emergency and no substitute is available, a make-up class will be scheduled.
Please notify the studio by 9:00 AM if your child is unable to attend camp.
No refunds, credits, or make-ups are available for student absences, including no-shows.
Make-ups are not guaranteed, but may be offered if space allows and the absence is excused.
