Refund Policy

1- Registration Classes
Refunds for the full amount are granted if cancellation occurs two weeks prior to commencement of class session. No refunds will be granted once the session begins. Transfers to another class or pro-rated class credit may be permitted before registration closes (generally 5 weeks into the session) based upon staff discretion. Any credit given is only available for 6 months. Passes are also only available for 6 months – there are no extensions. Please note that the winter session prices are higher than fall since there is a costume fee included in the price for the recital. It is also longer than our fall session.
2- Class Packages

If you sign up and know that you cannot attend please cancel at least one hour before class time to avoid a pass charge.  

3- Class Etiquette 

Please arrive at least 10 minutes prior to the start of class. This allows you time to change and get settled. For those enrolled in the youth division, tardiness will result in not being able to participate, and the student will need to observe the class instead. Dancers should treat their teachers and classmates with kindness and respect. Only water is allowed into the studios. Children will have a supervised water break and are asked not to bring water bottles into the classroom. 

4- Dress Code

Our dress code is designed to ensure each student’s comfort, safety, and uniformity so that their teacher can give proper guidance. Pre Ballet and Youth Ballet dancers must purchase leotards from Dovetail front desk or studio online store. 

No street shoes allowed in the studios. For fitness and hip hop classes, please bring a clean pair of shoes with you to wear for class. Please help us keep our floors clean for all dancers. 

5- Attendance Policies

Attendance is very important for dancers at every age and ability level. Poor attendance will prevent students from improving and progressing through the program. 

6- Make-Up Classes

To schedule a makeup class, please call the front desk at 872-208-6169 or email dovetailstudios@gmail.com. All makeup classes must  be completed before the Spring Break for children’s programs or when session ends for adult programs.  

7- Dancer Safety

We request that dancers wait inside for all rides and pick-up. 

Dancers taking multiple classes on any given day are requested to travel within the studio and not outside unattended. Students 13 and up can sign a waiver with their parents to travel to the 711 across the street for snacks
