Class Schedule


BREAKING NEWS!!!! Turning Point Dance Academy will be relocating to the Haskell Towne Center in October. We will have two brand new dance rooms complete with Harlequin dance floors, two private bathrooms, and a waiting room. The attached schedule will begin in September and then expand following the move in October. Please pay careful attention to which classes begin in September and which will be delayed until October. More classes will be added following our move as needed.

Tuition: See chart on following page for hourly breakdown.
Tuition will be due at the first class of each month. Please drop tuition checks made out to Turning Point Dance Academy in the tuition box located on the inside wall to the left of the studio entry door. There will be no refunds for missed classes. Make-ups are available in the event a scheduled class is missed. Check with your teacher to see what time an appropriate make-up is available. Tuition will remain the same for each month. Some months will have 4 weeks, others will have 5, some will have 3.

Dress Code: A dress code sheet is attached to this packet. Please check the dress code for each class your child is enrolled in. Proper dance shoes must be worn at all times (see attached sheet for shoe requirements). Hair must be secured off the face for the entire class time. NO jewelry should be worn during class. Students who wear jewelry to class will be asked to remove it. In order to prevent lost jewelry, please leave it home. Turning Point Dance Academy accepts no responsibility for lost jewelry.

Bulletin Board: There is a bulletin board located inside the studio directly above the tuition box. Information is posted periodically throughout the year, so please check the board for any information that may be pertinent to our students. Notices are also sent home at certain times throughout the year. Most notices provide information about due dates, event times, etc. We encourage all parents to check their children’s dance bags when they arrive home for any notes that may have been given out and accidentally placed in the bottom of a dance bag.

Registration Form: A registration form is attached to this packet. No student will be permitted to participate in any class until a completed registration form is received. Registration fees are collected once annually in September.

Cell Phones: Students will be required to leave all cell phones in their dance bags in the lobby. In the event you need to reach your child please call the studio directly.

Inclement Weather: In the event of bad weather, please call the studio phone number and the voicemail will give any information about class cancellations. Individual phone calls will not be made. Please note that we do NOT follow the school vacation schedules.


SUMMER 2008:
The Turning Point Dance Academy summer session will be a 6-week program beginning Tuesday July 15th and concluding on Thursday August 21st. Please see weekly breakdown below.

Sessions will run one week at a time and students may select which weeks they will be attending. Weeks are broken down as follows:

Week 1: July 15, 16, 17
Week 2: July 22, 23, 24
Week 3: July 29, 30, 31
Week 4: August 5, 6, 7
Week 5: August 12, 13, 14
Week 6: August 19, 20, 21

Please see below for schedule and fees. Fees are set per hour/per week.

Registration will begin on June 1st and continue until the start of the summer session, or until classes are full. Please note that full tuition payment is due at time of registration. Once your registration form has been handed in, your attendance will be expected on the weeks you have chosen to attend. This will help instructors to know how many students will attend each class, and allow them to plan accordingly. You may not exchange weeks or swap hours without first contacting the studio.

Because this schedule allows for students to plan around family vacations and outings, prorates and refunds will not be given, unless a class is cancelled due to low enrollment after fees have been paid.

Instructions on filling out Registration Form (attached)

1. Select how many hours per week you will attend. See chart to find out the fee schedule per week.

2. Select which weeks you will attend.

3. Multiply the “per week” fee by how many weeks you will be attending. This isyour tuition for the summer.

Proper shoes will be required for all dance classes. Ballet students must wear a black leotard with pink tights and have hair in a secure bun. No specific style or colors are necessary for other summer classes.
