Tuition: All tuition is prepaid monthly and is due at the beginning of each month (regardless of when a student joins). Please note, the tuition will not be discounted for missed classes, holidays or snow days. Students have the opportunity to participate in our annual end of the year performance. All costumes and show fees are additional charges. *Please note that there are different departments under the Hartsville Dance Studio name. Please double check to whom you make your check out to. There is a $30 returnedcheck fee.
Attendance: Regular attendance is very important to skill progression; therefore, students should attend each class for maximum benefit and progress. If a student must miss a class, please inform the student’s teacher or the director. It is expected that a student practice and rehearse his/her dance routine outside of class. Memorization of dance numbers is expected as they will perform at the end of the year showcase.
Dress Code: All students are required to wear acrobatics, dance, or karate attire for the benefit of the students as well as the teachers. Students perform as a group; therefore, the group camaraderie should be established in practice as well as performance. Students’ hair should be pulled back from their faces and off of their necks in a neat bun. Absolutely NO jewelry. Dance skirts and leg warmers are acceptable for all classes. Adherence to the dress code is expected. Dance attire may be purchased at Gravity in Lebanon 615.443.3221 or at the studio, through Revolution Dancewear.
Studio Rules: All students need to demonstrate the utmost respect for other students and teachers. No horseplay is allowed on equipment before, during or after classes. No gum, candy, snacks or drinks allowed in class except for water bottles. Water may be purchased at the studio. All parents and students are asked to leave the studio as they found it to ensure the continuance of a quality program in a quality facility.
Unattended Students: All students and visitors are to stay inside the HDS building upon arrival until picked up by the responsible adult unless other arrangements have been directly made with a HDS representative. Children, even visiting friends, are not allowed to leave at any time by themselves without an adult. HDS is only responsible for students during their scheduled class time, so please be prompt in picking up your students when class ends. HDS is not responsible for any lost or misplaced items while your dancer is in our studio.
Publicity Waiver: Unless informed otherwise, HDS will consider photographs and video taken of HDS students to be permissible for publication in HDS informational publications, including the website, and newspaper.
Weather: If Trousdale County Schools are closed for inclement weather, Hartsville Dance Studio will be closed as well. We will also send out an email, post to the website, and to Facebook.
