Registration Fee
A registration fee of $30.00 + GST is due at the time of registration to secure your spot in dance classes. This fee is per family. This fee is non-refundable.
Costume Deposit
A costume deposit per class registered is due 5 days after you have received your dance schedule. Preschool and Mini Movers classes will have a $50 costume deposit and all remaining classes will have a $60 costume deposit. This deposit will be subtracted from your costume invoice that is sent out when the costumes arrive for our Year End Dance Showcase and Competitions. The costume deposit becomes non-refundable on October 31.
Returned Cheques (NSF)
A $25.00 NSF fee will be charged on any returned cheque. If a client has 2 NSF cheques, their account will become cash only and 3 months of dance tuition will need to be paid in advance.
Withdrawal from Class
If a student wishes to discontinue class, we request a written request of cancellation. Any attendance during a month constitutes a full month’s tuition.
Class Placement
Class placement is up to the sole discretion of the Director and Instructors. Factors involved in determining class placement include: number of years of dance training, technical strengths, number of hours of training per week and age.
Dress Code
Proper dance attire must be worn during dance classes. Students will not be permitted to dance in street clothes, please see additional information on dance attire for female and male students. Undergarments should be thoughtfully concealed.
Hair
Hair must be pulled back in a bun or ponytail for female dancers and brushed neatly off the face for male dancers. This is proper dance etiquette.
Competition
Our studio attends two competitions each season. Competitive groups are invited to attend with the studio, usually around the age of 7 or 8. First year competitors will be informed of the “ins and outs” of competition. We choose competitions we feel will be a positive environment for the children. The dancers perform their Year End routine at competitions which allows them to showcase their talent (and costume) one more time.
Ballet
Dancers in competitive groups are to be enrolled in ballet class. Ballet is the foundation of all dance forms and works to strengthen the dancer’s overall technique. Training in ballet class will help to keep opportunities open for dancers as they progress through their dancing year. Strong technique will allow the dancer to pick up other styles of dance more quickly. Please talk to your instructor about the benefits of Ballet.
Choreography: Solos, Duos and Trios
Solos, Duos and Trios may be requested and submitted in a “Wish Box” in September. The Director and the Instructors will discuss those requests and decide upon extra competition routines. Solos must be earned during the course of the dance season and will be thoughtfully selected by the staff. Factors involved in the decision making process: level achieved in desired genre, training in competitive ballet classes, reliable attendance, similar dance skills for a duo/trio, showing good sportsman like conduct toward fellow dancers in all dance related activities and demonstrating a positive and helpful attitude in class toward fellow dancers and instructors.
Attendance
It is important for the students to have good attendance. Missed classes will cause the dancer to fall behind in the work being taught. Commitment contracts will be in place for competitive dancers. In competitive groups, two absences from class will be accepted. If the number of missed classes exceeds two, a meeting may be called and that dancer could face being removed from a competitive class setting.
Competition Etiquette
We will kindly and respectfully ask that students and their parents conduct themselves in an appropriate manner when representing Kristy’s Dance Fusion at public events.
No Tolerance for Bullying
Bullying in any form will NOT be tolerated. Privileges within the studio (ie: solos, class assisting etc.) could be taken from a dancer if a case of bullying is discovered.
Exam Classes
Absence from exam classes may result in the dancer not being able to take part in the exam process.
Dual Studio Enrolment
Kristy’s Dance Fusion offers a quality dance education in a variety of dance disciplines. Any competitive student wishing to take dance classes outside of the studio must request permission from the studio director.
Parent Viewing
Each year, we hold Parent Viewing weeks so our families can see what the dancers have been working so hard on. These weeks will be decided upon throughout the year and communicated through our Studio Newsletters. Please ensure your email address is up to date.
Gum Chewing
Gum chewing during dance classes will not be permitted.
Studio Parking
Please park in designated parking spots in the lot in front of our building. Street parking may also be used. Please take care when dropping off or picking up as we have many young dancers around the parking lot to keep safe.
Dance Protocols in Response to Covid-19 (September 2023)
Masking in studio is no longer mandatory at this time. Students are welcome to continue masking during class, but are not required to. That is a decision open to your family for discussion, and we will respect the decisions of each student. Hand sanitizer will continue to be available in the building.
Zoom is available in every class if your dancer is feeling under the weather. You will find the Zoom Link in the class description in your parent portal in Jackrabbit. You can access the parent portal through our website.
