AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION, THE FOLLIOWNG FEES ARE DUE:

Registration Fee (non-refundable) 

A registration fee of $45.00 per dancer will be due at time of registration. All registration is processed online by selecting the Register Now option. There will also be an upfront payment of $75.00 for the Holiday Showcase. Both these fees are non-refundable. Our Holiday Showcase is our version of “Visitor’s Week”- but on a stage! These shows are presented in a beautiful theater with professional lights, sound and stage design. There is no costume fee for the Holiday Showcase and there are no ticket fees. Younger dancers will wear their favorite dance outfits and older dancers will need black leggings, red shirts and/or black leotards. You will get a list of requested items for each class by the end of October. These are typically things our dancers already have.

HOLIDAY SHOW OFF FEE (non-refundable) 

Holiday Show off 2024: November 16-20, 2024

All classes (including tumbling!) will perform for parents, friends and family in our version of “visitor’s week”. Each level of classes will have their own Holiday themed show (keeping each show short) where dancers will showcase techniques and choreography learned during the first semester! There is no costume fee or ticket fees for the these performances!

The $75 Holiday show off fee will cover rental of the venue, a professional set with stage decor, and professional lights and sound making this a full blown Holiday spectacular for our dance families. We have found this to be a fun alternative to Visitor’s Week! Parents are still able to meet the teachers and learn about what their dancer has been learning during the semester. Our kiddos LOVE being on a stage! At this time, there is no limit on how many guests each dancer may bring.

1/2 AUGUST TUITION & tuition policies

Classes will begin August 19! We charge 1/2 of the normal tuition rate for August as dancers will have 2 weeks of class to kick off the year. We highly recommend you sign up for any classes your dancer might be interested in for August as several classes will fill up quickly! All tuition is non-refundable.

Account Balance/Payment Policies

Tuition is due on the first day of the month. A payment can be made online by credit card or debit card or paid at the front desk by check or cash. If a family wishes to drop a class, this must be submitted in writing to the office (office@elementhsv.com) and this will go into effect the first day of the following month. We do not adjust tuition after the beginning of the month. There are no refunds on tuition.

Late Fees

To avoid a late fee, tuition must be paid in full by the 10th of each month.  After the 10th of the month, payments are considered late and a $10.00 late fee will be added to your account. All tuition must be paid within the month it is due for a dancer to remain enrolled in class.  

  • Every student must have a $0 balance to participate in the showcase.

  • Statements will be emailed for overdue account only or by request.  

  • There will be a $30 charge for all checks returned from your bank.

Payment methods include: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discovery, debit card, cash, check and online payments (debit or credit cards). All checks should be made payable to ELEMENT. Please put student’s first and last name and what you are paying for on the check.  

Absences & Attendance

No refunds or deductions are given for missed classes.  Please make sure students are on time for all classes.  Classes missed because of illness may be made up in another class.  Good attendance and being on time is very important for your child to progress.

Weather

In the event of severe weather, it may become necessary to cancel classes for a partial or full day.   In general, if schools close due to inclement weather, the studio will generally be closed.  You may check your email, our website, Facebook page or Instagram.  Refunds are not given if class is cancelled but please call or email the office for a make up time in an alternative class.

Visitors

In an effort to make every minute of class time valuable, we do not allow visitors in any of our classrooms during class times.  We offer a Holiday show off performance in November that is open to parents, friends and family. In this performance, you will learn more about your child’s teacher, exactly what each class has been working on during the Fall semester and get to see a performance from each class.

Communication

In order for your child to get the full benefit of lessons, it is important that the teachers be able to devote all class time to teaching. We ask that class time not be interrupted. If you need to discuss a matter with a teacher, please contact the office and we will set up an appointment.

Please check Facebook, Instagram and your emails for current information, updates, changes and payment due dates.  You can also call the office staff during our regular dance season from 2PM to 8:30PM, Monday - Thursday or email at any time. Staff will also respond to emails during off hours. Summer hours are TBD.

Private Lessons

Private Lessons are available in any style of dance.  Contact the studio for available times and prices.

Dress Code

Proper dance attire is important and will be strictly enforced. Students will not be allowed to participate in class unless dressed properly. See the Classes page for all attire requirements for individual classes.
