Policies & Tuition

Tuition Policies

• All families must have a credit card on file through our online account management software (JackRabbit). When you register for classes, please make sure to include this information. (If for some reason you need to pay by check/cash, please email Mary so your account can be noted.)
• A $25 late fee will be assessed if tuition is not paid on time.
• All tuition payments must be paid up to date prior to recital. If tuition is not up-to-date, the dancer will not be allowed to participate in the recital.
• If there is a financial hardship, please contact Mary directly to see what other options are available.

Feis Log
As teachers we like to see the progress our dancers are making or where they may need to focus. If you attend competition, you should submit a feis log in December and then again after the spring feis season. If there is a need for more, you will be asked for it.

Practice Log
It is necessary for dancers to practice their material at home. This log is for the dancer's use, and we hope by tracking their time and what they are practicing, it will help them improve. Dancers are welcome to turn in their practice log to their teacher.
