FAQs: Registration and Attendance
"How do I know which classes are right for me or my child?"
Each dancer is different, which is why we offer a wide variety of classes. We have set up a number of ways to help you make the right choice! Call 734-424-9705 to speak to someone over the phone or to set up an appointment. And the best way to see if a class is a good fit is to try it!
"If local area schools are canceled, will classes still be held at Studio 3?"
Studio 3 bases class cancellations on the early-afternoon weather and road conditions. If a class is canceled due to inclement weather, we will post it on our website and studio voice mail, and we will alert parents by e-mail. There are no refunds for classes missed due to inclement weather, although dancers are welcome to drop-in to another age-appropriate class within 3 weeks of the canceled one.
"If I am registered for the Fall session, do I need to re-register for the Winter session?"
No. If you are registered for Fall and do not need to make any changes to your schedule, you do NOT need to re-register for the Winter session; your place in the class will be automatically held until the first invoice due date of the new session. If we have not received your payment by the due date, your dancer's place in the class will be opened up to a waiting student.
"How long is each session?"
- Fall and Winter Sessions are each 15 weeks long
- Summer Sessions are each 4 weeks long
FAQs: Tuition and Billing
"How are classes billed?"
Total class tuition is posted at the time of registration. The tuition for each session can be divided into 2-4 payments for a convenience charge of $5 per payment (added to invoice). Tuition payments are due on the 20th of each month. Classes are billed one month in advance (for example, October tuition is due September 20th). NOTE: If you register for a class after the session begins, your student can drop-in to any age/level appropriate class to make-up for previously missed classes. Classes are NOT prorated.
"How can I pay for classes?"
Invoices are sent via e-mail on the 10th of each month and are due on the 20th of each month. Invoices can be paid via credit card online, or in studio via credit card, check, or cash in our convenient drop box. You can also set your account on "Auto Pay" so that your payment will be paid automatically!
"Am I refunded for missed classes?"
There are no refunds for missed classes. Classes canceled by the instructor will be made up at a later date. There are no refunds for classes missed due to inclement weather, although dancers are welcome to drop-in to another age-appropriate class within 3 weeks of the canceled one.
