Policies and Procedures (Keep to the Code):Tuition: Tuition is due monthly and is required on the 1 st class of the month. Regular monthly tuition is $40 but may be adjusted +/- depending on the class schedule for the current month. The drop in rate is $12 per class. In case of a bounced check, there will be a $20.00 returned check fee. Discounts: You may add any additional class for $20 each (Half Price). Kashmir offers no refunds on tuition, dance concert fee, or costume costs. Attendance & Missed Class Policy: Attendance will be taken in each class. Students who want to perform are expected to attend class regularly. This allows them to grow and progress in dance. Dance is a physical art form that builds strength, flexibility, and coordination. It must be practiced multiple times a week for the body to respond. When students miss consecutive classes they are missing both instructional information and the strength and repetition required to progress as a dancer. Kashmir offers no refunds for missed classes. Students are allowed and encouraged to make up missed classes in an equal or lower level than their current level. Make-Up classes are to be taken during the same month they are missed. Missed classes may not be carried over into the next month - NO EXCEPTIONS. Should you need to schedule a make-up class, please contact Corrie. Parental Responsibility: Parents are responsible for their children before and after classes/rehearsals. Please do not drop your young dancers off to be unattended more than fifteen minutes prior to class or rehearsal. Prompt pickup afterwards is also expected. Neither Kashmir nor the UAA can be responsible for dancers or visitors outside of the classroom at any time. Kashmir reserves the right to dismiss anyone who is a discipline problem, damaging property, or becomes a danger to others. Student Conduct: Students are allowed in the classrooms, warm-up area, restrooms, and reception area only. Dancers are expected to be respectful to others, their belongings, feelings, and personal space. Please respect other classes which may be in progress at the UAA. Kashmir Class Policy: We reserve the right to add or drop classes based upon enrollment and to change instructors if necessary. In the event that a regular instructor must miss a class a qualified substitute will be assigned. If no substitute can be contacted in time, Kashmir reserves the right to combine classes together for the day. From time to time, classes must be cancelled due to performance schedules, illnesses or severe weather. Kashmir will make every effort to notify students when classes are cancelled; there will be a message on the Kashmir phone and it will be posted on the Kashmir Yahoo group. Please make sure to join the message group list and check it often. Dress Code: The Dress code is important because it allows the instructors to see the dancers' bodies in order to correct their movement. It also helps put you in the proper mind set for dance.
******************************************* Kashmir Dance Company Professional Performance Troupe The Kashmir Dance Company is not directly affiliated with my classes. There is no direct progression from my class levels into this troupe. That said, if one were truly interested in one day being a part of Kashmir Dance Company, my classes teach the format which Kashmir's style is based on. Regular and consistent study with us is an excellent way to develop your improvisational skills, expand your movement vocabulary, and learn how to put all the diverse elements of ATS and Tribal Fusion belly dance into a cohesive format. While there are no guarantees or promises of an invitation, the performing troupe and long term advanced students in my class would have a distinct advantage in consideration for future troupe additions. My greatest advice is to be dedicated and patient--focus on your personal development, setting goals for your own physical and mental growth in the dance, independent of any troupe affiliation expectations. *******************************************
