TUITION:

Tuition will automatically be debited on the first of each month from the debit or credit card on file. We do not take checks, or cash for tuition payments. Tuition remains the same regardless of a 3 week or 5 week month, regardless of absences on the students behalf.

Clients may cancel their scheduled monthly classes with 30 days' notice as long as the recital permission slip has not been signed and your child is not part of any competition team. No refunds will be given after tuition has been processed. If for any reason you cannot continue lessons that have been paid for, a credit for future classes may be issued at the director's discretion.

LATE TO CLASS:

If a student is more than 10 minutes late to class, and/or has missed stretching, the student will not be able to participate in class due to the risk of injury.

MISSED CLASS/MAKE-UP CLASSES:

Please notify instructor of known absences. As we get closer to performances, and in the month prior to our showcase, absences should be avoided as they may result in the student being underprepared.

ZERO TOLERANCE BULLYING:

Velvet Movement and its staff can dismiss or remove any student or parent from the studio for any rude, illicit, disrespectful behavior or misconduct toward any other parent, teacher, or student.

FAQ & General Information

WELCOME TO VELVET

Welcome to Velvet Movement Dance and Cheer Academy. We are so excited to have you as a member of our inaugural season!

Each class will include a style appropriate warm-up, stretch, technical training, terminology education, and choreography by a qualified instructor. Each semester students will be provided individualized feedback, and will work with their teacher to set goals that inspire growth. Students will be provided supplemental assignments to be completed at home to complement the work done in class; strength training, stretching challenges, etc.
