Regular attendance is crucial for progress in dance. Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes. If a student will be absent, parents must notify the studio in advance by contacting 914-244-1550 or email wda@westchesterdanceacademyny.com. Excessive absences may result in reassessment of class placement. Students should arrive on time for all classes. If a student arrives more than 10 minutes late, they may be asked to sit and observe the class to avoid disruption. Repeated tardiness may result in a meeting with the instructor and parents.

Payments received after the due date will be charged $35 late fee for each month they are late.

Electonic payments are processed on the 1st of the month for all fees due. Statements can be viewed on the Parent Portal.

Please discuss with the office as cancellations vary depending on age.

Students are expected to show respect to instructors and peers at all times. This includes listening attentively, following instructions, and maintaining a positive attitude. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated and may result in disciplinary action. Parents should support a positive environment by encouraging their children and respecting the studio policies. Any concerns or issues should be addressed privately with the studio staff.
