- All payments are non-refundable or transferable.
- Tuition is ALWAYS the same amount from September through May regardless of the number of classes in the month. Tuition is averaged over the entire dance year.
- Class Withdrawal Policy - Should you decide for any reason to withdraw from all studio classes, an official withdraw form must be submitted to Ms. Jordan's School of Dance staff. Verbal withdrawal with an instructor is not sufficient. Tuition fees will compound should there be failure to withdraw properly. A withdrawal form not received (2) weeks before the first week of classes in any given month will result in normal charge of tuition fees for that month. If you are withdrawing in the middle of the month, there will be no refund given. Upon your request you spot will be offered to the wait list ASAP. In the event it becomes necessary to file a suit to collect damages, I agree to pay a reasonable attorney fee and the cost of collection.*

Class Observations and Lobby Area
PARENTS/GUARDIANS ARE NOT TO SIT IN AREAS WHERE IT BECOMES A DISTRACTION TO YOUR CHILD. THIS CREATES DISTRATION FOR THE TEACHER, AND OTHER STUDENTS. We ask those waiting for dancers, to sit in the waiting area in respect of the learning experience and environment. Ms. Jordan’s School of Dance and its employees are not responsible for the behavior of others in the waiting area. Because our dance space is limited, it is of primary importance that class visitations and interruptions are restricted. If you wish to speak privately with the teacher, please schedule an appointment before or after classes, due to the fact that all classes need to begin on time. Please be respectful to those around you while waiting. Parents are encouraged to keep all children not attending class out of dance class area.

Arrival & Departure
Please be on time to pick up your dance student. We are unable to provide supervision to children who are picked up late. For the safety of all dance students; dancers will not be allowed to wait outside of dance building for parent/guardian. Each dancer must remain in building until parent/guardian arrives to pick her/him up from inside the building. We cannot take responsibility for a child once he/she leaves class during their regular class day. For safety reasons, please inform the teacher if someone other than regular guardian will be picking up your dancer.

We will be following the Sallisaw Public School and Poteau Public School schedules for inclement weather. In bad weather conditions please use your best judgment as to whether or not you are able to attend class.

We will do our best to post closings on Channel 5 KFSM and our Facebook page. There will be no refunds for classes missed due to inclement weather.

There are times when our teaching staff must be out of town or have a conflict; therefore you will have a substitute teacher. When a substitute is not available, classes will be canceled and a make-up class will be added to the dance calendar. A note will be posted on the door if a last minute emergency arises where we are forced to cancel and an update made to the Facebook page.

- No gum/candy or cell phones are allowed in class.
- Teachers reserve the rights to have a student sit out of class or observe, if behavioral problems arise.
- Students are encouraged to observe the class quietly or stay home if sickness occurs.
- Attendance to class is very important due to the fact that we build on our learned skills each week.
