General Class Policies
* Students must maintain a courteous and positive attitude toward everyone. Please refrain from talking during class except when asking a question to the instructor. Asking questions is important to the learning process and a welcome, natural part of class.
* Students arriving more than ten minutes late, at the discretion of the instructor, may be asked to observe the class only. This is a safety precaution with our student's well being in mind. Dancer's bodies must be warmed up properly to avoid both short and long-term injuries. Notify your instructor of any injuries prior to beginning class.
* No student should ever leave the studio after class without wearing some sort of cover-up over their dance clothing. This is a matter of care for your health and freshly worked muscles.

NO GUM, FOOD OR DRINKS ARE ALLOWED IN THE STUDIOS AT ANY TIME.



Class Add Procedure
All students must receive an "evaluation" slip from the office prior to entering a new class. The evaluation slip will need to be signed by the teacher if the dancer is approved to join the class. Once the teacher has approved the student, the student's parent must go to the office to complete a class "add" slip and fill out a new registration card. Any tuition due for the current month as a result of adding a class must be paid at the time the class is added. Please see the office staff if you have any questions about this procedure.

Missed Lessons Policy
All students are expected to pay their full monthly tuition regardless of the number of lessons they've attended or missed. Lessons missed for personal reasons, choices or illness are not pro-rated or credited. The value of missed lessons is not refundable or transferable. See "Procedure for Make-Up's" just below. Should a student need to miss a large block of time, please refer to the "Vacations or Extended Breaks" information in the "Tuition & Fees" section.   

Procedure for Make-Up Lessons
The idea/objective behind "make-up" lessons is to capture lost training time and tuition expense. Make-up lesson access to classes other than those listed on your registration card is limited to occasional attendance in those classes. *YOU MAY NOT USE MAKE-UP LESSONS TO ATTEND THE SAME CLASS WEEK AFTER WEEK. Make-up lessons are not to used as a substitute for class enrollment. You may not accrue more than 3 make-up lessons during any 30-day time period. The make-up lesson must be used within 30-days of the missed class. Make-up lessons not used within 30-days of the missed lesson are automatically forfeited. Make-up lessons are not refundable or transferable. Make-up lessons are available only to currently enrolled students. If a student should drop all classes at CDC, all accrued make-up lessons are forfeited.

Make-up lessons must be scheduled at least 24-hours in advance by calling our administrative office at (760)434-5182. Our office staff will assist you with a make-up lesson "class pass". Students that "drop-in" a make-up class without 24-hour advance notice and/or a "class pass", will not be allowed to participate.

*If you would like to attend a specific class on a regular basis, please enroll in that class through our administrative office.
