COVID POLICIES AND PROTOCOLS
Studio D is implementing safety protocols to protect our dancers and staff during this time. Here are the guidelines:
Masks are optional.
Hand sanitizer will be provided for teachers and participants.
Materials will be disinfected between classes.
If anyone tests positive or experiences symptoms, they should not attend class. We can offer a virtual class instead.
​
By registering, you agree to adhere to these policies and protocols, which aim to reduce community spread of COVID-19 and prioritize the safety of our dancers. Moreover, you understand that Studio D Dance will not be held liable in the unlikely event of transmission between dancers.
CLASS CANCELLATIONS
In the event that a class has to be cancelled due to COVID or inclement weather, we will do everything in our power to extend our session to cover the missed class. If this proves impossible due to circumstances outside of our control, we will provide virtual make-up classes. In the case of a government shutdown, virtual classes will be provided. By registering you agree to virtual classes in the case of a shutdown. No refunds will be given.
ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS
Studio D offers dance services for ages 3-15. Children must meet the minimum age requirement for the program they are enrolling in.
HOLIDAYS AND SCHOOL CLOSINGS
Studio D Dance observes county closings (Cobb, Fulton, Dekalb, Atlanta Public Schools, etc.) for Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring Break, based on the location of your school. For other holidays, we align with the school's calendar. In case of inclement weather or emergencies, Studio D Dance follows either the county or school closings, depending on the situation.
When closings occur, we will make every effort to schedule makeup classes. If Studio D Dance cancels a class (without the school being closed), we will offer makeup classes or provide refunds as necessary.
PRORATING OF TUITION/ABSENCES
Please be aware that we do not prorate tuition for any absences, regardless of the reason. In the event of an emergency-caused absence, we can schedule a makeup class upon request. However, special cases may be considered if we receive advance notice of absences. Examples of special cases include extended family travel abroad or a child with a chronic illness. Sickness, doctor's appointments, vacations, and similar reasons do not qualify as special cases.
CANCELLATION/DROPPING OF CLASSES
To cancel a class, please notify Studio D Dance via email. Do not inform your child's location or teacher. Sending an email to Studio D is necessary to prevent future billing.
REFUNDS
Refunds are only provided if Studio D Dance cancels a class (without the school being closed) and no makeup class is offered. Registration fees and any other fees are non-refundable.
