Studio Policies

Attendance, Absences, and Make-Ups

Having good class attendance is always important! We do understand that things come up. Please reach out to the office so we are aware of your absence!
If the Studio is closed due to weather, there will be postings on social media, and an email sent out to all of the parents.
There are no credits or refunds for weather-related cancellations.
Classes will be dismissed on time, and we expect that the dancers' rides home will be there.
The studio follows the North Branford Public Schools closings when it comes to snow days and holidays. Closings are announced by email, WTNH Channel 8, and on www.wtnh.com.
