MAKE-UP CLASSES:

If you miss any class for any reason (illness, vacation, injury, snow, etc.), you may make up that class by attending a similar class within the 4-week Period (or within the next week if you’re a continuing student and you’ve missed in the last week of the 4-week Period), or within the Quarter if you’ve paid by the Quarter. You may make up classes ahead of absences within 4 weeks; sign in “make-up for (date?).” If you don’t make up missed classes, they are lost. (Exceptions will be made with a doctor’s excuse.) BALLET NORTHWEST DANCERS are encouraged to make up classes early in the 4 weeks pre­ceding a “tech week.” Ballet classes may be made up in other appropriate Ballet classes – NOT Pointe, Jazz, Tap, Hip-Hop. Creative Dance/Pre-Ballet classes may be made up in similar Creative Dance/Pre-Ballet. Make-up Pointe classes in Pointe OR Ballet. Make-up Jazz class in Jazz class and Tap Class in Tap class; one level up or down, ask teacher which. For other dance classes, see the Directors for make-up class options. No refunds; no credit carried over or transferred.


 

RENTING STUDIO SPACE:

Studio space is sometimes available for rent: $25 per hour for tuition-charging classes, $15 per hour for individual use or rehearsals. Minimum 24 hour notice, pre-payment and possibly your own liability insurance required. Arrange with Directors. You must pick up and drop off key, clean up, and put things back where they were.
