Safer Studio Policy:

SDA requires all staff and students to stay home when they are ill. In order to reduce community spread Coronavirus, we follow best practices and recommendations from our local health department and from our industry associations, YPAD and More than Just Great Dancing. SDA understands that unlike older children and adults, young children cannot be expected to maintain social distancing at all times. Therefore SDA focuses on a hierarchy of measures beginning with keeping ill people home, followed by frequent hand cleaning and sanitizing, amplified cleaning, and curricular and facility adaptations to minimize contact and mingling where possible. All studio classes are backed up on an online learning platform. In the event a class is unable to be held at the studio classes will convert to online learning platform until in-studio classes can resume.

The Parent/ Legal Guardian grants the studio the right to use and incorporate the use of photographs and/ or videotapes of the student for publicity, social media, marketing, or display purposes. Studio is granted the right to use said images for any purpose it deems appropriate and will not be held in violation of privacy rights. If you do not wish to have your students photo published you can fill out a form at the desk or send us an email to sampuldanceacademy@gmail.com.

Tuition is non refundable and non transferable unless there is a valid document or documented medical condition or emergency .Tuition is charged monthly on the 1st of each month. There is no pro-rating for months with 3 weeks or those with 5 weeks as our tuition scale is based on the number of classes in the entire season August-June.

If you choose not to continue at any time, you must fill out an ADD/DROP form by the 20th of the month or send an email to sampuldanceacademy@gmail.com in order to stop the recurring charge from being billed for the next month. Any ADD/DROP forms filled out or emails sent after the 20th will result in the recurring charge being processed as usual.

There are no credits, refunds, or extensions for holidays or missed classes. We do not prorate if you are absent or away on vacation, or for regular studio closures but we do allow makeup classes within 30 days of your missed class.
