(Fall
2011-2012)
REGISTRATION & PAYMENT
By Phone: Simply
call the office at 703-393-1964 to register over the phone. Class space
is limited; therefore, a student will not be enrolled in a class until
payment for the first month’s tuition, along with the registration
fee, is paid.
By
Mail: Simply mail the registration form and automated credit
card/debit card payment form to the mailing address on the registration
form. Class space is limited; therefore, a student will not be enrolled
in a class until both forms are received by the office.
Online:
Please visit our website at www.VaDanceCenter.com to register
through the Internet.
In-Person: Simply
stop in to VDC and our office staff will help you get registered. Our
office hours vary, so please contact the office to determine when we will
be open for walk-in registrations. Please remember that
many classes fill early, so it is recommended that registration be completed
online, over the phone or through the mail.
Annual Registration Fee: (does not apply to summer sessions)
New Students: A $30.00 registration fee is due upon registration for new
students and families.
Returning Students: A $20.00 registration fee is due upon registration
for returning students and families. Registration Fee not required for
Summer Classes.
Monthly Payments:
(Fall Sessions Only) All monthly tuition payments must be made by a pre-authorized
Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit or debit card. You will need to complete
an “Automated Credit Card/Debit Card Payment” form at the
time of registration. This form will authorize VDC to automatically charge
your Visa, MasterCard, or Discover card on the 1st of the month from September
through June. This automated payment system will save you from having
to worry about keeping track of payment due dates and the possibility
of late fees.

FEES
Late Fees:
A late fee of $20.00 will be added to any tuition account which is paid
after the due date. The only way you will be charged a late fee is if
the charge is denied by your bank or credit card company and you do not
get payment to us within 10 days of notice from us. If tuition falls past
due by more than 30 days, your child will be asked to observe class until
payment is made.
Returned Check
Fee: A $25.00 fee will be charged to your account for any check
which is returned by your bank for insufficient funds.
REFUNDS & WITHDRAWAL POLICY
Refund Policy:
Tuition and fees are non-refundable. Refunds will not be given for days
missed due to absences, holidays or weather-related closings. Credit may
be given in the event of a medical emergency and will be considered on
a case-by-case basis.
Withdrawal
Policy: We require one month’s written notice from the
1st of the month to withdraw from a class or classes. If you withdraw
in the middle of the month without giving notice by the 1st of the month,
you will be required to pay the following month’s tuition. There
is a two-month enrollment minimum for all classes and withdrawals are
not accepted after March 31st for the current dance season.
STUDIO POLICIES
Attendance & Make-Up
Classes:
Students should contact the office if they are not going to be present
in class. Classes missed by students without prior notification to the
office may not be made up. If a class is missed and the student wishes
to attend a make-up class, arrangements should be made in advance by contacting
the office to determine the day and time of a similar class.
Punctuality:
Students must be regular and punctual in their class attendance. Students
who arrive after the completion of warm-ups may be asked to observe that
class at the discretion of the teacher. Students should be picked up within
5 minutes of the end of their class.
Canceled Classes:
Classes may be canceled during the winter months due to the weather. However,
we DO NOT follow the school closings of either Prince William County or
Manassas City. An independent decision will be made prior to the start
of classes and a cancellation notice will be placed on our voice mail
message once the decision to close has been made. Please call the office
prior to leaving your home to determine whether your class has been canceled.
Classes which are canceled due to the weather may be made up as described
above.
Holidays:
Holidays are listed in the calendar of this web
site. Classes scheduled for days on which holidays fall are accounted
for in the payment schedule and therefore may not be made up.
Student Performance:
Virginia Dance Center’s annual student performance, Dancin’
2012, will take place in June, 2012. All students are invited and encouraged
to participate. Participation, however, is not mandatory. A newsletter
detailing the dates, times, and costume fees will be distributed at a
later date.
