*Attendance & Uniform: I understand that attendance and uniform play major roles in my child’s preparedness to learn and will do my upmost to ensure these practices. I will bring my child to classes regularly (with exception to illness) dressed and prepared. I also understand that if my child misses classes (excused or unexcused) that choreography will be adapted and they may not be able to dance in full parts of a dance if they missed too many classes.
*June Show: I understand that the June Show will run from June 5th, 6th and 7th, 2025. My child may perform in one to four of the shows and Balletomane Inc. does not guarantee that all dance classes will perform in the same show. Siblings are also near impossible to get in the same show. Winter Christmas Show is Sunday, December 8th, 2024.
* Promotional Materials Waiver: Balletomane Inc. strives to showcase the achievements of our students whenever possible. I give permission to include photographs of my child in Balletomane Inc.’s newsletters, advertisements, promotional materials, social media platforms, and website for the purposes of illustrating the dance activities at Balletomane Inc.
*Cancelation Policy: Fees are due as outlined by available payment options. Refunds will not be issued under any circumstances. You may withdraw by Friday, October 4th, 2024 in writing to stop future payments. I understand that this is a full year programme running from September 2024 to June 2025. This dance programme is not available on a term-by-term basis and I understand that my child will be dancing for the entire academic year from September 2024 to June 2025 – even if I cancel classes, I will pay for the full year of fees. If Balletomane is mandated to close due to COVID-19 restrictions, I will be able to use my fees towards future dance classes. I understand there are no refunds.
*Costumes and Production Fees: This is for all students registered for the 2024/25 Dance Season. All students will be required to purchase a show costume for the June 2025 show. I understand that each dance included in the June Show will require a costume. costume prices for classes from Nursery to Primary level equivalents will be $150 per costume. Costumes from Grade One Ballet equivalent to Advanced Two Levels will be $175 per costume. Costumes will be charged in two equal installments and will be due on Tuesday, November 26th, 2024 and Tuesday, April 8th, 2025. I have left a post-dated cheque for each dance number in the show. Alternatively, please charge my credit card (information above) in the appropriate amounts per costume for the June Show costume amounts on November 26th, 2024 and April 8th, 2025.

*RAD/ISTD Intermediate Foundation Levels and Above: I understand that when my child my child is at the Intermediate Foundation Level and above, examinations are more challenging and that the student should be dancing enough hours to supplement the training at this level. Only doing a modern or ballet class will not suffice adequate hours to sustain this level for examinations. Students are still able to participate (and we encourage that) however examinations are not likely.
*Change Areas at the Theatre: I understand that when my student arrives at the theatre, they will arrive in regular clothing and change into costumes at the theatre. Students are placed in change rooms based on age and gender. There are personal tents available to change however when students are too young to change
themselves, teachers and volunteers will not go into a tent with the child. If the parent wants, you can purchase
a skin tone bodysuit (which can be purchased at our local dance store suppliers) to wear underneath the costume. No underwear is worn under costumes or uniforms.
*Change Areas at Balletomane: I understand that when my child arrives at Balletomane, parents/guardians will not go into change rooms/areas. Teachers and assistants will help the students get ready for classes. Students can arrive in uniform with outdoor clothing over top of uniforms. Only persons with up to date police record checks are able to volunteer/teach at Balletomane. This is to help keep the change rooms less busy and safer/more comfortable for students.
*Vocational Ballet Level A: For students in Vocational Ballet Level a, you will be participating in pas de deux. This will include a $200 fee to cover the cost of the partner dancers and teachers. I have left a $200 cheque due April 8, 2025. Alternatively, please charge my credit card (information above) for $200 on April 8th, 2025. This special award of pas de deux is also at the discretion of the teachers. If your child has not maintained adequate attendance, they not participate in pas de deux.
