TERMS & CONDITIONS OF CLASS REGISTRATION
Registration Term: When registering for classes, your payments will be configured for the current session that is running. Sessions are 15 weeks long in the Fall and Spring, and at least 9 weeks long in the Summer and Winter, with prices adjusted accordingly. Session lengths are subject to change before a session begins, and prices will be adjusted to incorporate or not incorporate the additional classes scheduled to be provided.

Fall and Spring sessions are up to 16 weeks long, while Summer and Winter Mini-Sessions are at least 8 weeks long, with prices adjusted accordingly. Session lengths are subject to change before a session begins, and prices will be adjusted to incorporate or exclude any additional classes scheduled.

All notices of mid-session cancellation must be submitted in writing to orlando@bellaballerina.com THREE (3) WEEKS PRIOR to the next payment being processed. Because a spot has been held for your dancer for the entire session, any notification of cancellation after a payment has been processed will not qualify for a refund, regardless of attendance status. Payments already made are non-refundable, and your child is welcome to attend the next four (4) classes included during the cancellation period. Tuition is still due during this three-week period.
If your dancer is signed up for the recital and you cancel your session early, you may forfeit your dancer’s ability to participate in the recital. This includes canceling less than three weeks prior to the recital to avoid the final payment. Tuition payments will take priority in these cases, and any outstanding tuition balances will be paid using the recital payment that was made earlier in the session.
When withdrawing early, you are also forfeiting any make-up classes available for missed dates during that session. Verbal notice to staff is NOT accepted as valid notification of withdrawal. Non-notification or actions such as tampering with, changing, or updating credit card information to circumvent the early cancellation policy will result in ineligibility to participate at any Bella Ballerina location and may result in legal action to recover commitment losses.

Make-up Classes: Your dancer is allowed to attend make-up classes for any missed classes throughout your session. You must schedule a make-up class via our website so that we can anticipate your attendance and do not overfill classes. We require 24 hours' notice for make-up classes. Make-up classes may only carry over into future sessions if the dancer is actively enrolled and the account is in good standing. Make-up classes are a perk of our studios, and in order to use them, you must be an actively enrolled student with your account in good standing with all payments up-to-date. We do not guarantee the availability of make-up classes within personal scheduling constraints, and recommend scheduling make-up classes in advance as soon as you know you will not be able to attend your regularly scheduled class.

Tap shoes are required for classes containing tap, ballet shoes are required for classes containing ballet or jazz, and sneakers or ballet shoes can be worn for Bella Broadway or Beats classes. There is no color requirement for dance apparel, but students must wear a leotard and tights when possible for class. The only exception is Bella Boppers, who are welcome to wear whatever attire is comfortable and allows them to move freely.
Camps: When registering for camps, a deposit may be required. This deposit is to hold your spot in the camp as it may not take place for several months. If a camp reservation is canceled, the deposit is non-refundable. Any remainder for your camp payment will be automatically processed on the Camp payment due date. Once camp payments have been processed, they will become non-refundable for any reason. You may use deposits made to transfer to an alternate camp date or classes in the same session should a schedule conflict arise.
Apparel Purchase Return Policy: Due to the nature of dancewear, returns and exchanges are not permitted. Please take advantage of our boutique and try on items before purchase. Should an item be defective, please bring it to our attention.
Classes: When registering for classes, you will be enrolled in the quarterly session of your choice. Because our classes fill quickly, we give our current students first priority at class days and times at the change of each session so that they don't lose their desired spot.

Should you decide you do not want to continue classes into the next session, it is your responsibility to make us aware via Priority Registration or email that you would like to cancel within the above timelines.
