2024-2025 Parent & Student Agreement Form 

    TUITION: A non-refundable first and last months tuition is due when registering for dance class. If paying for the full year a check or charge can be used. Tuition is set up per year with 9 payments, each due at the beginning of the month. When paying in monthly payments an ACH form will need to be filled out and the monthly withdrawals will be done on the 10th of each month from your bank account. The monthly tuition amount does not change if the student is absent or if there are varied numbers of weeks in the month. Taking make up classes is highly encouraged, just ask the instructor or office.
    HEALTH: Dancer will refrain from coming to the studio if they have a fever over 100, flu-like symptoms, COVID related symptoms or otherwise. 
    WITHDRAWAL: Each student has enrolled for an entire school year (approx. 34 weeks). One month notice from the first of the month is required to discontinue any class. To withdrawal, you must inform the office and fill out a withdrawal form provided by the office. We DO NOT refund the last months payment. Refunds are not offered to those that paid in full at the beginning of the year unless due to injury or moving. 
    ATTENDANCE: Regular attendance is expected. VDS students are expected to arrive on time. Inconsistent attendance can affect student’s advancement and possibly remove their opportunity of performing with the class. If a student must miss a class, please notify the front office by phone
    317-769-2223 or email [email protected]. Make up classes are to be taken at the same level or the level below. Additionally, it is the policy of VDS not to return tuition payments for lessons not fulfilled. Students must be picked up promptly after class.
    DRESS CODE: Hair should be worn neatly off the face and fastened securely. This not only allows complete unrestricted movement, but also enables the teacher to see the total line of the body. VDS students are expected to wear black leotards, pink tights, and pink ballet shoes for all ballet and creative movement classes. Jazz pants and fitted tops/shirts are appropriate for Tap, Jazz, and Hip Hop classes. Each teacher may have additional specifications for clothing that they will review during the first class. No loose jewelry or chewing gum is allowed.
    CLASS PLACEMENT: Class placement is based on technical merit. Age is used as a guide. Class placement is determined by the instructor for all levels. New students 8 years old and older should talk to the office staff or instructor prior to signing up for a class to find the most appropriate fit for their age and dance level.
    PARENT OBSERVATION: Our studio has large windows for viewing your children and their progress. Parents are welcome to watch their children through the windows at any time, however, please try to not distract or talk to your student during class. 3 times during the year we will have a designated “Parent’s Observation Week” where parents and family will be invited into the studio to watch the student’s class. Children not in class cannot be left unattended. Please always be considerate of lobby noise levels. 
    WEATHER & HOLIDAY CANCELLATIONS: We do not always close every time the Zionsville Community Schools have closed for snow days, holidays, etc. Please check our website, call the studio, or look on our facebook page prior to coming to the studio if you are unsure if we are open.
    LIABILITY: Students and parents hereby release and hold harmless the teachers and staff of Village Dance Studio, Inc. from any and all liability resulting from any injury or damage sustained by students and/or parents. VDS is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items.
    PHOTO RELEASE: VDS has my permission to use my child’s photographic image on its website, advertising or other business appropriate means. Photos taken by VDS are the property of VDS. Names of students will not be posted on social media unless additional permission is agreed upon.​
