Studio Policies
Payment: All payments must be made in full by their due date. Payments more than 7 days past-due will be subject to a 5% late fee. All enrolled students must provide a credit or debit card upon registration that will be kept on file for automatic tuition payments.
​
Performances: Participation in recitals and performances is optional, but encouraged. All classes for ages 3 and up will prepare a routine for our spring recital. You may opt out of performing by contacting the studio prior to the costume order date in December.
Class Placement: Class placement is based on both age and experience. Dancers must meet the minimum age requirement for a level by Oct. 15 in order to enroll. Placement in levels 3, 4 and 5 is based on teacher recommendation. Kinetic Arts reserves the right to switch a dancers level placement as necessary for the skill level of the dancer.
Behavior: All students are expected to be respectful to teachers, fellow students and our studio space. If a behavior issue arises in class the teacher will address it with the affected student(s) immediately. A warning will be given, and the teacher may ask the student to sit out for a period of time. If there is an ongoing behavior issue, parents will be notified and a meeting will be called if necessary.
If there is an unresolved conflict between two or more students, we encourage dancers and/or parents to communicate with the studio or teacher in order to help resolve the conflict in a timely manner. Our approach will always be to help bring children together and coach them to resolve conflicts in an age-appropriate and respectful manner.
Attendance: Weekly attendance is very important to ensure that students do not fall behind in the curriculum. No refunds will be given for missed classes, however, makeup classes are encouraged. During the month leading up to the recital, class attendance is mandatory. Parents are encouraged to submit absences through the parent portal.
​
Lobby & Parking Lot We do not have staff members dedicated to supervising children in our lobby and parking lot. Kinetic Arts is not responsible for children unsupervised in these areas. Dancers under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult before/after classes and will not be permitted to leave the building without an adult caregiver. Dancers 10 and up may wait in the lobby unaccompanied at parents' discretion. Anyone using inappropriate language or behavior, or creating excessive mess will lose the privilege of using the lobby. Wifi is available at no charge.
Observing Classes: Parents are welcome to observe through the lobby windows or garage windows at any time. Please email the studio office to set up a time to sit in on your child's class. Visitors are always welcome!
Parent Communication: ​ Communication with parents will be electronic, via email for regular communication and email + text for emergency notices or class
​
Class Cancelations: The studio will be closed for the following holidays and school breaks: Labor Day, Thanksgiving week, Winter Break (2 weeks), President's Day & Spring Break, roughly following the Jeffco School calendar. Make up classes for snow day or other cancelations that are beyond our control will not be rescheduled, although dancers are welcome to drop into another class of their choice. Classes canceled due to teacher illness or other events will be rescheduled.
​
Dropping Classes: Please notify the Kinetic Arts admin via email or phone if you would like to drop a class. Your spot in class will remain reserved and you will continue to be charged tuition until we receive your notice of cancelation.
