Our Tuition Rates and Policies

Class and Studio Policies and Tuition Rates:

Tuition & Policies

Monthly tuition is based on prepayment for all classes. Tuition is due between the 1st and 15th of the month. Any payment made after the 15th of the month will be assessed a $10.00 late fee. Suzanne’s Dance School does not send statements out unless an account is past due. Tuition credits or refunds are not given for missed classes. Make up classes are available as an option but are not required. Missed classes may be made up in another class of the same level or lower if available, with the exception of the period between March 5th and June 21st due to recital preparations. Payments may be mailed to 532 S. McDowell Blvd., Petaluma, Ca 94954.

Payment Options:

Suzanne’s Dance School accepts cash or check as well as Visa/Mastercard. For your convenience, we will be offering automatic payments from your Visa/MasterCard on the first of each month. If you would like to take advantage of this new service and avoid late fees please stop by the office.

Returned Checks

There is a $20.00 fee for returned checks.

Insurance and Registration Fee

Each account is required to pay an insurance and registration fee at the time of enrollment. This fee is equal to one month’s tuition. This fee is charged annually and is not refundable.

Withdrawal From Classes- No Refunds

Students may withdraw at any time during the year by completing a withdrawal form. A student is considered "enrolled" and tuition is due and expected accordingly unless a withdrawal form is completed at the office. Students who simply stop attending are still responsible for tuition until a withdrawal form is filled out. No refunds are given. If you need to make special arrangements due to extreme illness or injury, please communicate with the office. Tuition will be charged, whether you are attending or not, until a withdrawal form is completed.

Tardiness

If a student is more than 10 minutes late for class they may not participate but are highly encouraged to observe the class.

Instructor’s Absence

If a teacher is absent from a scheduled lesson, a makeup lesson shall be scheduled at a mutually convenient time. If the student misses a makeup lesson, there will be no second makeup opportunity. In cases of sudden illness on the part of the teacher, the teacher and the school shall make every reasonable attempt to notify students.

Promotional Photography Policy

Suzanne’s Dance School reserves the right to use photos of students and teachers taken in the studio or in conjunction with the studio for promotional and public relations purposes.

Performing Opportunities!
 
All students, with the exception of the "tots" class, newly-formed classes, and straight technique classes, are invited to perform in our annual full stage June Production!  It is a beautiful show for the audience, and a wonderful experience for the dancers. 

Dance Class Etiquette:
 
We follow a closed-door policy for the benefit of our students.
 
Please adhere to the following rules:
 
1. Please make every effort to arrive to class on time.  It is disrupting to the entire class when students arrive late.  Late students may be asked not to participate at the teacher's discretion.
 
2. Please be properly attired and ready to go when class begins, not just running in the door.
 
3. We maintain a strict code of common courtesy- Teacher/Student, Student/Teacher, Student/Student.
 
4. Please be courteous while waiting for your class- no loud noises in waiting room or common areas.
 
5. No one is to enter any studio while class is in session.
 
6. No food or drink shall be taken into studios.  Only water in a spill-proof container may be brought in.
 
7. Hair should be contained- ponytail, bun, etc.
 
8. No hanging jewelry.
 
9. NO gum.
 
10. Have fun!!!
