Payment terms: All payments are final. We do not offer credits or refunds.
Payment is due upon registration. You are not considered fully registered until payment in full is received. We will not hold unpaid spots. Payment plans outside of payment in full must be cleared with studio director.
HDA assumes students will continue into the next term. If you will not be returning due to any reason you aren’t obligated to continue, but please inform your teacher or the director of this change asap so we can offer your space to another student. Otherwise, payments are due before the first class of a new payment period for current students returning to their class. Failure to meet deadline may jeopardize your spot in class.
Missed classes: If you must miss a class for any reason students are entitled to the make-up class policy.
Weather related closings: In the event of a weather related closing, classes will not reschedule for another time. However, students are welcome to make use of the make-up class policy.
Make-up class policy: Students may make-up missed lessons in any other age appropriate class during the 2023-24 season as long as the student is currently enrolled in a class at HDA and is up-to-date on payments. Once the 2023-24 season ends (June 10, 2024), or if student declines to enroll in the upcoming term should there be one left during the season, any make-up classes the student incurred will no longer be valid. Makeup lessons are not transferable.
Returned Checks/Insufficient Funds: $30 return check fee
Medical/Sports Injury: We will give students credit for future use at HDA for the classes missed during recovery time.
Virtual Substitution– Due to Covid-19 and government regulations, we reserve the right to move classes virtual during days or weeks that the government may require suspension of in-house business operations. In the case that this should occur, Hampden Dance Arts will provide class via ZOOM.
Photography & Video is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN when a class is in progress unless permission is granted by the teacher. Teachers may record video or photography for planning purposes, which will not be used online. Disregard for the photography and video policy will result in being suspended from Hampden Dance Arts without a refund. We care greatly about a student’s right to privacy while learning and providing a professional atmosphere during class.
Student Conduct for kid’s classes– Dance class has a history of etiquette attached to it. We will help teach this etiquette to students. Students should display an enthusiasm to learn dance and retain manners during the lesson. We do not allow water in the studio or during class, only during the official water break which will occur halfway through children’s lessons or if needed during the older kids classes (we are reasonable if it is hot or we are doing an aerobic amount of activity). Please understand that asking for water develops into a habit that breaks mental focus, the discipline most necessary to study any art form. Disrespect of the teacher and/or other students in the way of but not limited to physical confrontation or aggressively throwing objects, “sassiness” such as eye rolling, pushing and hitting of others, or bullying of other students will not be tolerated. We reserve the right to suspend students without a refund due to behavior issues. Assessment of conduct and suspension is at the sole discretion of the studio director.
Waiting Room– Please try not to interact with the class from the waiting room. Because there is no door between the studio and the entry, we may close the curtain to reduce distractions for the kids. Still, students may try talking parents or asking for water from parents in the middle of instruction. Ask them to pay attention to the class. We will have a water break halfway through classes and as necessary. Waiting room guests are always welcome to the bathroom in the back right corner of the studio.
