Class Withdrawal

In that event that a student must withdraw from a class, we require one month advance notice. For example, if your child needs to withdraw in March, we would need to be notified by February 1st otherwise March tuition would be due as usual. Please note hat when a student withdraws from a class, they may not be able to return as that spot will go to someone else.

Attendance and Absences:

To gain a true dance education, it is important for children to attend class regularly and to avoid being absent, except in cases of illness. A regimen of at least two classes/week is recommended for ages 5-6 and required for ages 7+. In the event of an absence, your child can take a makeup class within two months of the absence so long as they are actively enrolled in our program and current on the tuition rate selected at the time of registration. Makeup classes must occur in addition to regular classes and tuition must be paid in full during the month your child takes the makeup class(es). Please limit makeup classes to no more than two in a three-month period. Please e-mail WildHeartPAS@gmail.com to notify us of an absence and the makeup class you intend to take. Every effort will be made to accommodate your request, however, there is no guarantee as we cannot overcrowd classes.

Cancelled Class & Holidays

Our calendar coincides with the New York City public school calendar regarding major holidays.

Class cancellations are rare. In the event of a class cancellation due to events beyond our control such as teacher illness or inclement weather, your child may take a makeup class as per our class-makeup policy.

Childcare & Pick-Up

Caregivers of children ages 4 and under are required to be on premises while class is in session. All children must be picked up after class by a parent/caregiver. Should a child have permission to go home unaccompanied we require both written notification from the parent prior to class via e-mail to WildHeartPAS@gmail.com and verbal notification in person either at registration or at some other point.
