Registration Information:
All students entering our school must go through an audition in order
to be placed in a class of their appropriate level. All registration and tuition fees must be
paid in full. Please see registration form attached.
Tuition Policies:
Students who are registered
may take one class having a Single Class Ticket, or series of classes carrying a class card (tuition
packages) on a 4-weeks basis. Payments are due by the first class of each term.
There will be a 10 % late payment charge, if the payment made after Due Date.
If a payment is not received within one week, the student will not be admitted to the class until the payment is made in full.
There is a $25 charge for each returned check.
Refunds will be given according to the following:
* Full tuition is refundable PRIOR to the first class. Once classes have begun, full
tuition is NOT REFUNDABLE.
* All tuition fees are based on per lesson (NOT per hour) charges. School administration will change the length
of the lessons depending on the level of instruction and number of students in
the studio.
* 80% of tuition is refundable if the School’s Administration is notified of
student’s withdrawal within 48 hours after the second class. Registration fee
is not refundable.
* Students are eligible for selected class refunds only if they must withdraw from classes
due to prolonged illness (for more than one month), or severe injury, verified
by a doctor’s certificate.
* Students who miss classes before the end of the term are still obligated for the full
4-WEEK SESSION’s fees.
Scholarships: A limited
number of full and partial scholarships are available, and awarded on the basis
of financial need, class performance and potential for a professional career.
Scholarships are granted for no longer than one academic year. Scholarship
applications are available from the school office and must be completed and
returned (with a copy of your income tax) by the posted deadline for the school
year or the summer program to be evaluated and considered by the Scholarship
Committee. All applications and
financial information are kept confidential.
Attendance: Consistent
attendance is critical to consistent progress. Students or student’s family must report all absences to the School
prior to class time. Lessons missed due to the teacher’s absence will be made up later. There are only three make-up classes (per
4-week session) and are only allowed for classes missed for reason of illness,
verified by a doctor’s certificate. There is a $3 reschedule fee 1 (per missed class) “make-up class”
application fee. In the event of severe
weather and public schools or the Shorefront “Y” are closed, dance classes are
excused for the day. There is NO REFUND.
Rules and Regulations:
* Every
student in the School is expected to behave in a disciplined and responsible
manner, and to conform to the School’s rules and regulations. BBT reserves the
right to suspend/dismiss any student whose conduct or attendance are found to
be unsatisfactory.
* Students should have the “Shorefront YM-YWHA
Membership (Ballet Participation) Card”
with them at all times. This card must be presented at security desk for
admission to the building.
* Parents
are allowed to attend some classes only by the School’s permission, or during
the open classes.
* School Administration has a right to choose
students for specialized programs, concerts, performances and competitions.
* Since BBT is a non-for profit organization, during
the Special Projects (i.e. Annual concert, The Nutcracker Season) participating
students are required to pay a participation fee, which will cover costume rental, stage
& transportation expenses, rehearsals, and music.
* BBT
faculty is not liable for injuries sustained or illness of any kind contracted
by the students.
* BBT is not responsible for lost belongings.
