Studio Policies
Student Rules
• No gum, food or drink allowed inside the studio with the exception of student water bottles.​​
• Please use the restroom before or after class, if possible. ​
• No cell phones allowed during class time.
• Always listen and be respectful of your instructors, as well as your fellow dancers. ​​
Attendance
It is imperative that students attend their respective classes, as tardiness and absences can hold back the class. Please feel free to send us a message through our parent portal or contact your instructor directly if your child will be absent. Classes missed will not be prorated.
Withdrawls
It is our expectation that enrolled students will complete the season. Therefore, no refunds will be issued. Students wishing to withdraw may do so prior to December 1st, 2024 given email notice to info@innovationdanceva.com. At that time, any remaining payments will not be required and your child’s costume will not be ordered. However, if a student decides to discontinue after December 1st, 2024, remainder of yearly tuition will be due immediately and they may keep their costume when it arrives.
Inclement Weather
The studio will not always close for snow or bad weather. If Hanover County Schools are closed, a decision will be made regarding evening classes by 3:00pm and notice will be posted via social media and sent through the parent portal. If classes are cancelled, a make-up class may be scheduled in the spring, if needed, for extra recital practice.
Attire
Appropriate clothing is required for all classes. Students may not wear baggy clothing, jeans, or jewelry. Hair must be pulled back securely away from the face. Attire may be purchased from Ellmans Dance Boutique or online at Discount Dance Supply and Amazon.
