Class Resources & Policies
Reminders from Ms. Gina
1)Please take your child to the restroom each week before class.
2) Please write your child’s name in their ballet shoes, tap shoes, dance bag, etc
3) We will have Parent Watch Nights throughout the year. Please send any pictures to Kim@ecdance.com to use for our newsletter, website, social media, etc.
4) Please wear your class uniform each week to class. No t shirts or shorts!
Class uniforms can be purchased at the store or email Gina@ecdance.com.
5) Water bottles are welcome!!! (Water only please)
6) Take the tie strings out of your student’s tap shoes and replace them with elastic (some tap shoe brands already come with the elastic sewn in). This will help everyone be able to slip on their own shoes and I will not have to re-tie shoes during class.
7) Tie elastic in ballet shoes (tie in knot so it will not come undone). Then cut off the excess. This will ensure that I do not have to tie shoes during class.
8) Please wear socks or tights to class.. When feet are hot, shoes do not want to go on easily.
9) If school is cancelled or closed for any reason, dance class will also be cancelled for that day.
Reminders from the Dance Office
1) Bills are due the 1st of the month. Accounts not paid in full by the 10th of each month will be charged a late fee.
2) Tuition will be charged August-May. A costume deposit of $100 will be charged to your account in October. The remaining balance will be charged in January. (Average cost is $150 for 2 costumes plus any accessories needed).
3) Please read your bill each month as important notes may be written in the reminder section.
4) If you have any questions about your bill, contact our office at 205-824-9466 or email us at Gina@ecdance.com
