NY Dance Artistry Policy, Code of Conduct



● Class placement
Classes are divided by age. Once the student reaches the age to take Junior 1 and above, class
placement is determined by the teachers. (After taking trial classes)
Drop-in class is not available for kids and Junior classes.


● Trial Classes
The School offers two trials for $25 each. This fee can be deducted your tuition if for the class tried in
the same semester session. Trials must be booked in advance and are non-refundable once fully paid
for.


● School Term
Kids and Junior programs are divided into three terms. Fall is from September to December, Winter
term is from January to March, and Spring Term is from April to June. We have a separate Summer
program for July and August.
New students can register anytime if we have a spot available.


● New Student and Registration
Students register using our registration form. All applications are considered in the order received.
New students will pay a $50 registration fee for one time and $25 for additional siblings.
If students are not continuing to take classes, students should inform the school.
If students are not taking classes for more than three months, $25 resignation fee will apply when
coming back to the school.


● Payments
All payments are non-refundable.
Tuition must be paid in the first week of the session.
Once the payment is confirmed, the application will be officially completed.
Monthly payment options are available for an additional servicing fee and can be arranged with a
School Coordinator.
Due to holiday schedules, the number of classes per month may vary.


● Covid operation fee
$10 per month if a student is coming to the studio to maintain a safe and clean environment.


● Cancelation
If the class is unavoidably canceled due to weather (natural disasters such as heavy snow, hail,
hurricanes, storms, extreme weather) or emergencies (terrorism, fire, public transportation stopped),
there will be no makeup lessons. In addition, refunds are not possible.
Classes will be canceled if public schools in New York City are closed for the reasons mentioned above.
In case of cancellation due to the above reasons, we will contact you by email.
If an emergency is issued in an area other than New York City, students living in that area should be
voluntarily absent for safety.
If your class is canceled for any other reason, there may be make-up classes. Please follow the school's
announcements.
A class may be subject to cancellation dependent upon student enrollment. In such cases, a School
Coordinator will contact all students in advance to coordinate alternative class and tuition options.


● Attendance
Good attendance is imperative to a dancer's progress. Students who are injured are required to watch
class, although students who are ill and contagious should stay home.
If a student is injured, the student can observe the class in the studio or using Zoom.
If there are unavoidable circumstances (moving, bereavement of relatives), or if there is a doctor's
stop from the doctor for health reasons and you cannot attend the lesson for 30 days or more, the
tuition fee will be carried over for one year.
In that case, please submit a document from an appropriate organization or doctor.
This credit is applicable towards future school classes only. Not available for recitals and special
events.


● Missing Class
Please Email us before the class starts if a student will be absent.
Missed classes may be made up by appointment only within two weeks.
Students may make up an absence by either attending another section of their level or one level
below. Make-up classes might not be permitted due to the space constraints in each class section.
Students can take an online class for makeup.


●Covid-19 Measure
