- There will be no pro-rating of classes due to vacation, illness, or holidays however there will be an opportunity to make-up any missed classed with your teachers approval.
- I understand that the registration fee is non refundable and due at the time of enrollment.
- I understand that if my automatic tuition billing does not process automatically on the 1st of the month due to insufficient funds, Invalid account or any other reason, my account will be charged a $10 fee in order to reprocess payment.
- I understand that if a charge gets returned, for any reason that is not fault of Gulf Coast Dancenter, a $25 return fee will be charged to your account.
- I understand that my membership account must be at zero prior to the recital in order to participate.
-I understand that all NON-RECURRING fees (costumes, recital fees,competition fees) must be paid by cash, check or credit at the front desk during regular business hours. We cannot run credit cards automatically or over the phone for things that are not monthly tuition.
- I understand that the Gulf Coast Dancenter will provide communication through the following methods...Monthly Newsletters via email, Website, Facebook, Instagram, Texts (on rare occasions) and Postings on the bulletin boards at studio. We ask that the main way to reach out to us is through our email gulfcoastdancenter@yahoo.com. We try to respond within 24 hours.
- I understand that attendance is very important. During the months of April & May, if your child is absent a day in which choreography is being taught, you might be required to book a private lesson. This will enable your child to get caught up on what he/she missed. If your child has too many absences during these months, it can be at the teacher's discretion to pull them from the recital dance without refund.
- I understand the class sizes are limited and we may put students on a waitlist if a class is full, or cancel a class if there is less than 5 dancers in the class. If you are enrolled in a class that must be cancelled, a new class day and time for your child will be offered.
