Policies & Procedures

REGISTRATION

Each student requires a registration fee of $35.00 with a cap of $70.00 per family. By signing this form, you are acknowledging that you understand this policy. The registration fee is annual—from August of this year. If the registration fee is satisfied in another category for the year, it will be waived for the other category. Ex: if paid under the dance program the music program or vocal will be satisfied as well.

TUITION

Full tuition is due on the 1st day of every month. Tuition is the same each month and does not change due to holidays. Monthly tuition is an average of 4 lessons per month. Tuition will not be refunded, credited, or prorated in the case of absence(s) but can be made up. Please see below "Missed Classes" section. 

There will be a $25 service charge for any returned check. There will be a $15 late fee for any payments made after the 5th. Auto pay can be set up through the office and in the online parent portal.

Late fees will be assessed with any tuition not being paid after the 5th of the month. 

MID-MONTH REGISTRATION

If you register in the middle of the month, your tuition for the current month is due the day you register. For that month your tuition will be prorated.  

MISSED CLASSES & MAKE UP CLASSES

For each student's safety and comfort as well as those of our instructors, we cannot allow sick students to attend class. A student who becomes ill will be isolated and the parent notified to promptly pick him or her up. There is no guarantee that your dancer will not be exposed to illness. By sending your student to Praise Performing Arts Center, you understand and assume full responsibility for any such risks. We take safety and sanitation very seriously in our studio, making sure we sanitize our rooms, equipment and floors daily. 

If you know in advance that you will miss a class, please notify us, however dance class makeups are not an option as we are not currently offering multiple classes for each dance type.

The ADULT DANCE & FITNESS CLASSES - there are no makeups or refunds.

MUSIC & VOCAL LESSONS: MISSED CLASSES & MAKE UP CLASSES

If you know in advance that you will miss a class, please notify our office as soon as possible. We require 24 hrs cancellation notice, prior to the class being missed, in order to be able to make up the class and not lose it. Classes need to be made up within 30 days. It is the your responsibility to call and schedule your make up class.

WITHDRAWAL POLICY

To withdraw from a class, we request a notice in writing or by email and will be effective the following month. Failure to do so will make you liable for the next month’s tuition.  Parents will be responsible for any and all tuition up to the date that the student’s enrollment is terminated.

CLASSROOM RULES

No chewing gum in class.  No food or drink allowed inside the classroom (bottled water only). Cell phones should be turned off, placed within the dance bag and not used until classes are finished for the evening. Dress appropriately. Students not properly dressed will not be allowed to participate in their class that day. Please be respectful and courteous to everyone including our staff and other students. Please be prompt to class.

CLOSURE POLICY

When Cy-Fair ISD closes due to inclement weather, the studio will be closed as well.  Should the studio need to be closed due to inclement weather or by order of the Governor for less than two weeks, make-up options will be offered. Should the closure last longer than two weeks, we will notify you of next steps with the option of virtual online classes. Tuition should be expected to remain the same.

MISCELLANEOUS

It is the parent’s responsibility to pick up their children from class on time. We are not responsible for your child other than the time he or she is in the classroom. Pick up and arrival time should be no earlier than 10 minutes prior to class and 10 minutes after class. Please keep in mind our lobby space is limited and we would appreciate your consideration in bringing only students that are being serviced in our programs. This helps us keep our traffic flow manageable as students are coming and going. 

It is our responsibility to maintain the highest standards of dance training for students of all ages and levels. Respect and proper discipline is required at all times and we reserve the right to dismiss any students that do not abide by our policies.

We are very proud of our building. Please treat it with respect. Smoking is not permitted in any area of our building.

The policies listed above are subject to change and you will be notified via email in the event that happens.
