COMMITMENT & ATTENDANCE
The study of the Performing Arts requires desire, commitment and a love for the respective art. In most of our courses, students are required to make a full year's commitment, as the program is progressive and depends on weekly development and assessment. Therefore, our attendance requirements are as follows, with exceptions made for students with a valid medical excuse:

Session A - more than 2 missed classes and the student will be withdrawn from the course. No refund will be issued.

Session B - more than 2 missed classes and the student will be withdrawn from the course. No refund will be issued.

Full Year Courses - more than 4 missed classes and the student will be withdrawn from the course. No refund will be issued.

Missed classes - Lessons cancelled by the instructor will be made up during the teaching session, or at the end of the season. Make up classes will not be provided for student cancellations in any private or group program.

During the first two weeks student abilities are still being assessed by instructors, therefore some students may be transferred to another course at a more appropriate level. Final placement and/or acceptance of students will be done by the instructor.

 WITHDRAWALS/CANCELLATIONS
Withdrawals will be accepted up to two weeks prior to the commencement of classes. A 10% administrative charge or $15, whichever is greater, will be applied. Withdrawal during the two weeks prior to the start date will be charged 20% of the program fee or $30, whichever is greater.
Students withdrawing from a course after the first week will not be given a refund; however, credit at the JCC for the remainder of the course fees can be applied to your account, for any use within the JCC.
Transfer, except at the suggestion of the teacher for reasons of ability, will be assessed a $10 fee.

BEHAVIOUR AND DRESS CODE
We expect all students to treat their classmates and instructors with respect, to show up on time for all classes and to wear clothing appropriate to the course of study. Any student deemed by the instructor to be behaving in a manner that is destructive to the class, will be dismissed from the course with no refund for fees.

Expectations: Participants studying in one class for 1 to 1.5 hours per week are essentially studying at a recreational level. Students wishing to study at a more intensive level should plan to enroll in more than one class per discipline.

Dress Code: At the time of registration dance students will receive information about appropriate wear for their classes. No jewelry, gum or snacks permitted in any class. Dance students must keep their hair off their neck and out of the eyes. Theatre students must wear comfortable clothing and shoes appropriate for movement based exercises.

Participants understand and agree that classes may be photographed/videotaped. The School reserves the right to use photos/videos for program publicity.

PAYMENT OF FEES
Fees must be paid in full at the time of registration or payment plans must be in place. No spots will be held or reserved without a deposit. Full year session payments may be divided in 3-6 installments, through credit or debit card payment plan only. HST is applied to adult registrants.

First payment at time of registration will be larger and will include: installment of the course fee, costume fee, 2 tickets and competition fees (for the Jazz and Hip Hop Advanced classes).
