Dance Studio Pro
All dancers at Nye Dance Productions are required to have a parent/guardian register for an account with the Dance Studio Pro system. Accounts give families access to input family/dancer information, view the studio schedule, enroll in classes, access documents, access music files and pay online. Families should become familiar with their account and check for class material and emails.
Class Cancellation
A written notice returned in person is required to cancel a class mid season (September - May). In order to stop further tuition obligations for the session (beginning with the month after this notice is received), this form must be completed and turned into Nye Dance Productions front desk before the 1st calendar day (not the first class meeting) of the month you want to withdraw. The Account Holder is responsible for tuition payments, account charges and late fees incurred through the last day of the month a dancer is registered in a class regardless of attendance. If a dancer is canceling class mid season (October - December) or (February - June) a $15 drop out fee will be assessed AND that month’s tuition. Dancers are given a month trial (September and January) to withdraw from class without a drop out fee. However, tuition and costume deposits are non refundable. If registered for recital, costumes must be picked up by the end of June or the costume becomes the property of Nye Dance Productions.
Attendance
Any missed dance class should be reported to the front desk via call, text, message or email. It is important we are aware of our dancers if they are scheduled to be in class. Attendance is taken at the beginning of each class.
If your dancer has not attended the class for 3 consecutive weeks without a parent request and payment to maintain his or her space, your dancer may be dropped from a class to allow others to participate without a refund or credit for tuition paid or owed.
Make Up Classes
Any missed dance classes may be made up by attending an approved dance class by Nye Dance Productions, within the same calendar month. If the dancer misses classes in the last week of a calendar month, the dancer may make up the class in the following calendar month. No credits or refunds are given for missed classes. NDP is not responsible for tracking missed classes. To make up a class, get a slip from the front desk before class. Makeup classes are not guaranteed. If we have full classes or during recital season we are not always able to schedule a dancer a makeup class. Makeup classes cannot be done by siblings or friends.
