Dancin' with Roxie does not carry medical insurance for its students. All students must be covered under their own family's policy. The studio is not responsible for injury occurred during class and it is understood that the student's own policy is the only source for reimbursement.
The studio will close if school is cancelled or let out early. If classes are cancelled it will be posted on the web site. If in doubt please call Miss Roxanna at 641-430-5003. The first two snow days will not be made-up but the third or more will have a make-up date at a later time.
The studio will follow the school schedule for holiday, winter, and spring breaks. We will still have classes on teacher in service days and other misc. breaks. All upcoming breaks will be posted on the web site.
Attendance is taken at every class and is very important to the success of the class. In order to be on the competition team attendance of 90% or higher is required in all classes. A total of 4 or more misses from your Competition Team Classes will make you ineligable for all comptitions nd other events. For Regual ClassesIf a missed class can be made-up by the student attending the age level below or above the dancer within 2 weeks of the class missed.
The instructor has the right to take any student off pointe or out of any other classes in which the instructor feels necessary. The student may not leave the barre until the instructor feels the student is ready. Pointe class may not be taken until the students understand they will not be performing on pointe unless the instructor feels they are ready. The student will still be in the dance in ballet shoes. This is for the safety of the dancer.
All students may enroll in private lessons. In private lessons a solo/duet/trio will be taught a routine to be taken to competition, talent show, or pageant with permission of the instructor. Private lessons cost $50.00 an hour per student by Ms Roxanna and $25.00 per Hours by any other Instructor. Each routine takes approximately 5-6 hours of teaching time. Each Routine will be assested a $100.00 choreography fee. Costumes for private lesson students must be paid when the lessons start. Cost for a competition solo costume is $100.00.
Competition students may be required to purchase special shoes, props, and accessories required for the team. All competition fees must be paid by the deadline for the fees or the dancers will not be able to compete. Hotel accommodations will be made by the dancers parents not the studio. Hotel information will be listed on the web site for the competition. All competition dancers must be available for the entire weekend of the competition due to not knowing which day or time they will perform until days before the competition.
**All routines performed outside of dance class must have the instructors permission and must not be altered without permission of the instructor. The choreography is not to be altered and is property of the instructor.
