Irise Dance Project Studio Policies

When Is Tuition Due?

1

TUITION, REGISTRATION AND TERMINATION: Tuition is due on the 1st of each month from September through June. If a student wishes to withdraw from the studio, the directors must be notified, and an additional one-month tuition plus any outstanding balances will be due upon withdrawal. If Irise Dance Project is not notified of a student's withdrawal, you will be responsible for the remainder of the year and will continue to be billed monthly.

Dress Code

2

Proper dance attire must be worn at all times. Students' hair must be neat and in place, pulled back off their face and neck. No jewelry (except for small earrings) is to be worn to class or rehearsals. The appropriate dance shoes must be worn in class. Ballet and Jazz cannot be executed properly in bare feet or tights. Warm-ups may be worn during barre/warm-up at the teacher's discretion. In order to make accurate technical corrections, the teacher must be able to view the student clearly without the obstruction of extra garments. Irise receives donations of all dance attire yearly. Enrolled students are welcome to take available dance attire free of charge.

*Please note that students may choose which dress code to follow based on their gender identity. Students may select either dress code based on their personal comfort level.
