Studio Policies

We Welcome New Students All Year!

Come try us out for FREE!  Students may join any beginning level class without an evaluation (including all Early Childhood classes), so long as they meet the posted age requirement.

Students with prior experience wishing to join a higher level class must be evaluated by a Dancenter North instructor. Evaluations are scheduled through the office.  Trial classes are FREE (one free class per student, per discipline).

Dancenter North is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to take steps towards a more inclusive dress code. We believe that training in our studio should be a comfortable & nurturing experience, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, or age. We recognize that more can and will be done as we continue to listen, learn, & celebrate one another!

Tuition Policy

Tuition is paid by the semester and is due at the time of registration.  A full refund will be provided (less a $40 processing fee) for all class withdrawals up until the first day of the session.  Absolutely no refunds will be issued beginning the first day of the session.  Medical credits will be given if injury/medical condition exceeds two weeks and is accompanied by a doctor’s note.  Credit will be applied to the next semester’s tuition only.  Dancenter North requires a minimum of 5 registered students by the first day of the session or the class risks cancellation.

Multi-Class Discount (Fall & Spring sessions only) When a family registers for two or more classes in a session, there is a 10% discount applied to all eligible classes, less fees. The multi-class discount is applied before eligibility for individual/family carte blanche is determined.

Individual Carte Blanche – Individual carte blanche is determined after the multi-class discount has been applied to one student’s eligible tuition total and earns unlimited classes for $1,985 during the 16-week Fall session. Fees do not contribute towards individual carte blanche eligibility.

Family Carte Blanche  Family carte blanche is determined after the multi-class discount has been applied to all students’ eligible tuition total and earns unlimited classes for all family members for $3,845 during the 16-week Fall session.  Fees do not contribute towards individual carte blanche eligibility.

Fees- Applicable registration-related fees include registration fees, défilé fees, class fees (including Pro Track, company classes, camps and workshops), class change fees, and late registration fees. Fees are not subject to discounts or carte blanche eligibility.

Annual Registration Fee- A $40 fee is applied at time of registration. This fee is charged one time per family per year.  

Change of Class Fee- In the Spring Session, there is a charge of $5 applied to all class changes that occur after the first three weeks of the session.  

Attendance

Warm-up exercises are for your benefit and missing this important time of class could be detrimental and lead to injuries.  It is also a distraction to have latecomers walk into the classroom.  Please be prepared to sit and observe class at the teacher’s discretion if you are late.  Students will not be allowed to leave class early.  It is disruptive to the class and could lead to injury if not properly cooled down.

Make-Up Policy

Missed a class?  No problem!  Missed classes may be made up any time during the current term in a similar type of class at the missed class level or below.  Please contact the office to schedule a make up class- 847-367-7970.  Make up requests will only be accepted according to attendance records for the current semester.  Any classes not made up during the term are forfeited.

Drop-In Classes

All classes, with the exception of company rehearsal classes and Professional Track classes, are available as single class drop-ins.  Find your desired class online at http://register.dancenter-north.com/Login/index and pay in advance!  Drop-in classes may also be paid for at the front desk or over the phone.

SINGLE CLASS PRICES

Winter Weather Cancellation Policy

Concerning snow and other inclement weather, Dancenter North will make decisions regarding potential class cancellations no later than two hours prior to classes beginning on any particular day.  Notices will be posted directly on the home page of our website:  http://www.dancenter-north.com 

We are committed to the safety of all students and staff.  We ask that families be proactive when weather takes a turn for the worse.  As always, if you are not comfortable traveling, please take advantage of our liberal make up policy.  When Dancenter North closes the studio due to weather, classes for that day will not be rescheduled.  Students are welcome to make up their missed classes anytime within the current session.
