A 50% refund will be issued up to one week prior to the first day of camp (example: if camp begins June 18, 50% refund is available until June 11th). No refunds will be issued when the beginning of camp is within seven (7) days of the cancellation and request for refund.
In the event that a camp must be canceled due to low enrollment, a full refund will be issued to each student enrolled in the canceled camp.
​
DANCE CAMP DRESS CODE:
Dress code for dance camps is more relaxed than our regular school year as we understand many of our students may be trying out dance for the first time, and we love that! While we would love for everyone to follow our dress code for ballet if possible (which you can find HERE), stretchy pants or leggings (no shorts), t-shirts, and socks are also acceptable. Shirts should not expose midriff or cleavage and may be tank top, short or long-sleeved (no camisoles, please). Older girls are advised to wear supportive sports bras. Hair must be pulled back from the face in a ponytail for ages 3-9, but must be in a bun for ages 10 and up.
