INJURY/ILLNESS AT THE STUDIO – Studio 4 will contact you in the event of injury, illness and/or if the child is needing to sit during class.  If a child sits in one class they are expected to sit in all of their classes.  Information will be recorded in the attendance books.  Should you need doctor follow-up see details below.   

INJURY/ILLNESS NEEDING ATTENTION/MODIFICATIONS – Parents are expected to email the studio with the following information: the injury/Illness, any modifications (i.e. no leaping) needed to be made in class, doctor’s note, and return to activity plan.  Studio 4 is not responsible for making sure dancer is following required modifications.

ABSENCES – Good Attendance is critical for a dancer’s and team’s development. COMPETITIVE DANCERS should post any and all absences/tardies in the comment section of their team Band calendar on the date(s) that the dancer will be absent (Do not post on the general Band feed). RECREATIONAL DANCERS do not need to notify the studio of absences, but are encouraged to inform the teacher prior to or following any absences/tardies.  Absences and Tardies will be recorded in the class attendance books.  Make-up classes are not available.

-We reserve the right to remove your dancer from any dance(s) should their lack of attendance/injury/illness have a negative effect on their dance(s)/team.

-We reserve the right to remove your dancer from any performance/competition due to injury/illness/absences

As the weather in Minnesota is unpredictable during the winter months, Studio 4 will make class cancellation decisions based on the most accurate information available. Studio 4 will also follow the Burnsville School District and after school activity closures.  We will not be accountable for makeup lessons related to such cancellations.

Studio 4 is not responsible for absences due to weather, illness, injury, or anything beyond our control. 

Tuition is based on a 31 lesson year and is not dependent on the number of classes per month.
