Code of Conduct
Every dancer will need to be respectful of all students and teachers. We will not tolerate any physical or verbal abuse, including “name calling” or “bullying” by any student. If a student disrupts the safety of other students in the class, they will be asked to leave without refund. All students must also show respect to the property of others. Any intentional damage to or theft of such property or class equipment will not be tolerated and could result in the student’s dismissal from class without refund. All DEPA dance teachers will make sure the classroom is a safe environment by upholding these rules and regulations. If a student does not abide by these rules, they may be asked to discontinue dance classes until they can use appropriate behavior. At any time, we reserve the right to refuse service based on the above mentioned.
Communication
Throughout the year, there is a lot of information that is communicated to our families. We utilize many avenues to communicate information.
Email – Please add noreply@jackrabbittech.com to your email list. We regularly send email and newsletter updates.
Website – Basic studio info, including staff contact info can be found here.
Social media – We have a Facebook and Instagram page that we update with events, our Company team performance dates, and recitals.
Placement in Classes
Dance ELITE Performance Academy and its instructors will place students in classes. We feel it is more important that the children are in the correct level of class, than making sure a student is with their exact age group. We ask for your respect, in regard to our expertise in class placement. We desire to see every student grow and achieve the most within our classes. When a class is too challenging, they may not be able to grasp and learn proper technique. Likewise, when it is too easy, a student may not grow as a dancer.
Dropping a Class
If I intend to discontinue any and/or all lessons at any point before the end of this agreement, I understand that I must give 30 days written notification via studio email, info@danceelitecolumbus.com. IF I DO NOT NOTIFY Dance E.L.I.T.E. Performance Academy, LLC 30 DAYS PRIOR TO THE 1ST OF THE MONTH THAT I INTEND TO DISCONTINUE LESSONS, I WILL BE CHARGED FOR THAT MONTH. Failing to show to a class does not constitute canceling or dropping the class. The card on file will continue to be charged until you cancel or drop. You must connect with the front office to complete this process. If you owe any amount after dropping, the card on file will be automatically charged.
