In order to prevent confusion for you or your child, here are some basic guidelines for clothing expectations when your child arrives for class.
Dancers cannot improve if they are not in class. Unplanned conflicts are a part of life, but excessive absences interrupt the learning process. Therefore, we ask that attending classes be a priority in your family.
Regardless of missed class time, tuition is due and there will be no make-up classes or refunds offered for classes missed
In the event a class is cancelled due to inclement weather or an instructor’s absence, a make- up lesson will be offered.
At ADU, we believe in fostering a productive learning environment.
We offer two scheduled Parent Observation weeks when parents are invited to observe their dancers in the classroom, as well as closed circuit viewing monitors so you can watch your child practice in the studio while you relax in the lobby.
In East Tennessee, weather is going to be an issue at times. Here’s what you need to know.
In the case of inclement weather, please call the studio. We will leave a message regarding closing by 2:00pm. Please note the studio may not close based on school closings if the weather has improved throughout the day.
In the rare case we are forced to close, accounts will also be notified by email and information will be posted on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Any classes missed for inclement weather will be made up in the spring.
