Registration
Please note that all tuition and fees are nonrefundable. We recommend that students contact a school administrator to schedule a trial class before committing to a semester.
Age Group/ Levels
The School at Peridance will place all students into the most appropriate level allowing them to progress safely through our programs. All students are generally placed in classes by age with utmost consideration for level and experience.
Final placements will be determined after the first few weeks, once we have a full assessment of individual students and all classes. A trial or placement class may be recommended to determine proper fit of level and ability for each class
Trial Classes
The School offers trial classes as a way for students and teachers to select the best suitable class. A trial class may only be taken once per style/level.
There is a $35 trial class fee which may be deducted from tuition if registering for the class within the same week. Trials must be booked 48 hours in advance and are non-refundable. Please contact a school administrator to set up a trial class. Please note that the balance for the class after the trial can be paid in full or by setting up a payment plan.
Core Program
The School’s Core classes require pre-approval to join. Students interested in taking these classes or want to learn more should contact a school administrator.
Payment
Please be sure to read and understand all policies carefully before signing up for a class and contact a school administrator with any questions before signing up. Please note that all tuition and fees are nonrefundable.
Payment is due at the time of registration. Space cannot be reserved in a class until both registration/performance fees and tuition payment have been received. Monthly payment options are available with an additional fee and can be arranged with a school administrator.

Sibling Discounts
Sibling Discounts are available and applicable towards tuition after the first sibling’s enrollment (first child’s enrollment is full price and discount can be applied towards 2nd, 3rd, 4th child’s tuition). Contact a school administrator prior to registration in order to receive this discount code to use on JotForm. Discounts can not be applied retroactively. Please be sure to request the discount code prior to submitting a registration form!
Prorated Tuition
Students are encouraged to register and join classes at the beginning of the semester in order to stay on track with class curriculum. However, The School at Peridance will happily welcome new students into our programs should we have space available in a class. Students will be required to take a trial class first to ensure they are placed in the appropriate level and that both the teacher and student feel they are able to join in the curriculum with a late start. Prorated tuition is not offered by week but in three separate enrollment periods over the course of the semester.
Refund / Cancellation Policy
There are NO REFUNDS once registrations and fees are processed and paid. TUITION AND FEES ARE NON REFUNDABLE. In the event that your child is unable to attend class due to extenuating circumstances, a school credit may be considered. This credit is applicable towards future children’s classes only, is not transferable to any adult programs, and expires one year after the date it is issued. All classes are subject to cancellation dependent upon student enrollment. In such cases a school administrator will contact all students in advance to coordinate alternative class and tuition options.
In the event that Peridance is unable to offer in-studio classes due to Covid-19 regulations, virtual classes will be offered. There will be NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS offered for classes that are transferred to a virtual platform.
Responsibilities of Parents/Guardians
Any medical, physical or emotional needs your child may have should be discussed before enrolling your child so that the teacher can help develop a curriculum to better fit your child's individual needs. Please contact a school administrator to facilitate this process.
NO students are allowed in the studios without a teacher present at any time. Students must wait with their caregiver for their teacher to welcome them into the studio.
Caregivers must wait until class start time before dropping their child off and should be on time for pick up. Faculty are unable to assume responsibility for students once dismissed from their scheduled class; in the event of an emergency delay in pick up please call the front desk (212-505-0886).
Attendance
Please notify us in advance when students will be unable to attend class. This can be done via email to directorsap@peridance.com. Please see below for make up class information.
Please be prompt with both drop off and pick up of your child. Please check in at the front desk prior to proceeding to your studio for class. Pick up will take place outside of your child’s studio.
Please be mindful to arrive to class on time!
Please keep us informed if there are any changes in caregivers or class dismissals and drop offs.
Make-up Classes
There are no authorized make-up classes except in cases of illness. We regret this policy, but it is unavoidable due to the limit of students per class. Only four make-ups per class per year are permitted. Please email a school administrator to make arrangements. Make-up classes may be scheduled in the same or similar class levels and must be done through the school administrator in advance.
