Observation - The back office/studio is open during group classes for parents waiting during class. Parents are asked to drop their child off in the main studio in the front of the building, then wait in the back office/studio. A camera/monitor system is in use so that parents may observe class from the back office/studio. Early arrivals to class may enter the main studio and wait. If a prior class is in session during drop off, please enter by the front door facing E. Prospect Ave.
Change into your dance shoes upon entering the main studio. Many young children are easily distracted by parents in the same room during class. Parents must supervise waiting siblings at all times.
Cancellation/Weather - In the event of severe weather or emergency, class may be canceled.
You may make up any class canceled by York Dance Arts LLC by attending any other
class at your level. In the event of cancellation,
an announcement will be made on WGAL's school closing announcements, a recording will be left on the studio's phone
messaging system and a notice will be posted on the studio's website as soon as possible. If you have provided us with an email address, you will also be notified by email.
Payment - Tuition is paid monthly September through May regardless of absences,
holidays and weather cancellations. Tuition is due on the first of the month. A late fee of $5 per week
will be charged for each week tuition is delinquent beginning on the 8th day of the month.
There are no make ups or refunds for student absences. A discount on tuition is offered for enrollment in our
Automatic Payment Plan. Your
tuition is automatically charged or debited to your credit card or
checking account monthly. Students enrolled in the automatic payment plan never
have to worry about late fees. A separate costume fee of $50 (children &
youth), $60 (teens & adults) per class is due in
December. The costume fee covers the cost of the student's costume for the
Spring performance. Students taking multiple classes and performing in multiple
dances pay a costume fee for each dance they are performing in. Students keep
their costumes from the spring performance.
Performances - A dance concert is planned at the end of the Spring session. The exact date and location have yet to be determined. We are hoping to obtain a date at the end of May or in very early June. The target date is Sunday afternoon May
30, 2010. Our Spring concert will most likely be at one of the area high
schools, however we would like the program to grow to the point where a more
professional experience could be offered at either the Strand or the Pullo
Center. Audience members will need to purchase tickets to the Spring concert.
Performers do not need tickets.
No one is required to participate in performances. York Dance Arts will support the formation of a parents group to fundraise to cover performance expenses. Parents interested in fundraising should email the Director at admin@yorkdancearts.org.
