Read before you register for weekly classes and camps.

1. Recital - Required for all classes except Yoganastics, Lunch at the Theatre, and Toddler. May 19-20 for students at Stepping Stone and Four Seasons. June 2-3 for students at Tarrytown (American Legion), Central Studio, Bright Horizons, Abacus, and Children's Center of Austin. Rehearsals will be held the week prior to each show weekend in lieu of classes. Costumes have already been ordered. We will do our best to order your child a costume for the recital. There is a late costume order fee of $5 added to all accounts registered after Jan. 20, 2012. Most likely your costume will get here on time, however it could be after photo day. If this is the case your child may borrow one for the photo. We will not order the costume if the costume company cannot get it in time for the recital. They will give us a ship date upon ordering. If the ship date is past your recital date then we will refund your costume fee and cancel the order.

2. Initial payment information – I understand that in order to hold a space in a class, I will need to pay the annual family registration fee at this time, and an installment payment if Sept 1, 2011 has passed. The start date will be the first class visited. There are no free classes. All charges are electronically processed, physical checks are voided and not deposited in a bank. A prorated amount will be charged if I am registering after the class start date. A service fee will be applied to my account to process declined, unfunded, or rejected payments because it drops out of the automated system when a scheduled payment does not successfully complete and a staff member has to request another attempt to collect.

3. Good email address required - Parents must have a valid e-mail address on file with Dance Discovery, that  is read routinely, so they can receive time sensitive communications from the staff. I understand that Dance Discovery has a paperless administration process and the primary mode of contact is via e-mail, which I will monitor and read routinely and will not mark as “spam."

4. Automatic bank drafts - Registration means agreeing to automatic withdrawals from your account on file, which will run at 12:01 AM on the transaction date. All payment information must remain current and provided 7 days in advance of any monthly charges, including new billing zip code, new expiration date, and name changes. All charges are processed electronically—physical checks are voided and are not deposited in a bank.

5. PAYMENT END DATES -Only public classes at Tarrytown (American Legion), Steiner Ranch Children's Center of Austin, and the Central Studio will have a designated ending month and final 9th installment payment on May 1, 2012. Children taking dance through their childcare center at Steiner Ranch Children's Center of Austin, Bee Caves, Jester, Bright Horizons, Stepping Stone, Four Seasons, and Abacus School of Austin will be billed continuously year round with no end date until I give 30 day drop notification. Public classes at Avery Ranch are also billed year round with no end date until I give 30 day drop notification.

6. How to drop the class -  You must give us 30 days notice if you wish to drop a class.  A student may only drop a class by calling the Central Studio office at 419-7611. (Daycare centers and preschools do not provide withdrawal information to our staff, parents must do this themselves.)

7. Missed classes - There are no refunds or adjustments due to absences, however, make-ups are available in public locations with openings.

I understand and agree to the above
