ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

We are an environmentally friendly studio and communicate electronically with our families. Parents must have an active email address on file.

 

DROP-OFF/PICK-UP

Children can be dropped off no sooner than 10 minutes before the start of class and must be picked up immediately after class. A late fee of $1 per minute will be charged to your account 15 minutes after class ends if your dancer has not been picked up. Supervision of students by studio staff occurs during class time only.  

 

DRINKS/FOOD

No food of any kind is allowed in any of the dance studios. Water is the only beverage permitted provided it is in a tightly sealed container. 

 

DRESS CODE

Proper dance attire and shoes must be worn during all classes.  Cover ups should be worn in hallways and outside of the studio. Please see the dress code located on our website under “Classes” for more details.

 

CLASS OBSERVANCE

For student safety, unless previously arranged by the instructor, director, or owner no person other than those enrolled in the class will be allowed in classes. 

 

REGISTRATION

Registration must be completed online by a parent, legal guardian, or any student over the age of 18 before the start of any class.  There is a $40 non-refundable registration fee required for each dance season. There is also a $15 non-refundable summer registration fee. Tuition plus the registration fee must be paid to complete your registration and secure your spot in class.

 

TRIAL 

Trial classes are available for new students as space permits and at the studio’s discretion. Please request a trial class by contacting the studio: admin@harlenhouse.com After your initial trial offer, an individual class rate of $25 per 45 minute class and $30 per hour class will be applied until your registration is complete. 

 

TUITION

Tuition for classes is broken down yearly into monthly payments for convenience. With the exception of August, which will be pro-rated, your monthly tuition will be the same each month regardless of absences, holidays, or the number of weeks in a given month. All students must be enrolled in our auto-pay program. Tuition will be billed within the first 5 business days of every month. Any tuition not received by the 10th of any given month will incur a $25 late fee. Statements will not be mailed, it is your responsibility to ensure payment is made on time. If you should need to change your form of payment, you may do so in your parent portal or by emailing billing@harlenhouse.com five days prior to the 1st of month when tuition will be charged. Tuition is non-refundable. We require 30 days written notice if you wish to cancel your class(es). 

​

ATTENDANCE/ABSENCES

In order to experience the full benefits of dance, students are expected to attend class regularly and be on time. Absences can be made up in a comparable class within 14 days of the absence date. Make-ups are non-transferable. We have the right to refuse the use of a make-up class if class size is prohibitive. Only two make-up classes will be approved in any given month. No refunds will be given for absences under any circumstance. Please email admin@harlenhouse.com with information regarding your absence and request to make up. Please keep in mind, not all classes will have an exact replacement based on age and ability. Refer to the website to view all makeup class offerings. 

 

INCLEMENT WEATHER

The safety of our dancers is our top priority. We will notify parents via email regarding any studio closures or delays due to bad weather. We will also post updates on social media.

 

CLASS CANCELLATIONS

In the rare event that a class is canceled due to emergency or teacher illness, a make-up class will be arranged or credit given if a make-up class is not possible. We will notify each student/parent by phone or email as soon as we are made aware of the situation.

 

BELONGINGS

Students should make sure all personal belongings are labeled and stored in the designated areas during classes. Harlen House is not responsible for lost or damaged personal belongings.
