Dance Studio Policies

At AAGDA, we believe that consistent attendance is essential for every dancer’s growth, confidence, and progress—especially as we prepare for our exciting end-of-year recital in June. Our season runs from September through June, with dancers building skills and learning choreography throughout the year.

Season Schedule

Our dance season runs September through June.
All classes work toward a final recital performance in June, which showcases what students have learned.
Enrollment is season-long. Dancers remain enrolled unless requested to drop via customer portal 30 days in advance.
As of January 2026 you are locked in for recital as we will be measuring/ordering costumes.

Tuition & Enrollment

Tuition is charged automatically on the 1st of each month.
All students are automatically enrolled month-to-month for the full season.
If you wish to discontinue classes, a drop request via the customer portal is required at least 30 days before the next billing cycle

General Attendance Expectations

Dancers are expected to attend all scheduled classes regularly and arrive on time.
Please aim to arrive 5–10 minutes early to allow time to prepare and warm up.
If a dancer is more than 15 minutes late, they may be asked to observe, for their safety.

Missed Classes

We understand that illness, family emergencies, and school events can arise.
If your dancer will miss class, please notify us in advance by phone or email.
Due to each class learning unique choreography, make-up classes are not offered. This ensures that every dancer stays aligned with their specific group’s routine and choreography.

Recital Commitment

Attendance becomes especially important in the months leading up to our June recital.
Dancers with excessive absences (3 or more in the final 8 weeks) may be removed from recital choreography to maintain group consistency and fairness.
Dress rehearsal attendance is mandatory to participate in the recital.

Communication is Key

We are here to support your dancer’s journey! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if:

Your dancer is unsure about class or needs encouragement.
You’re planning a vacation or extended absence.
You have any billing or schedule questions.
