Sibling Discount: 

Discounts will be given to families with more than one registered dancer who are siblings. The first sibling discount is applied to fees in which one family provides payment for two sibling dancers. Both siblings must be registered for the same class or a class of equivalent price in order for the discount to apply: the original price will apply to the first student registered, and a 10% discount will be applied to the second student’s registration. The second sibling discount is applied to fees in which one family provides payment for three or more sibling dancers. All three siblings must be registered for the same class or a class of equivalent price in order for the discount to apply: the original price will apply to the first student, the 10% discount will apply to the second student registration, and the 20% discount will apply to the third student registration. Discounts apply to monthly tuition; not to one-time fees.

Dress Code: 

Dancers should attend class with their hair pulled away from their face--ponytail, bun, or securely fastened. Dancers should wear fitted dance clothing and attend barefoot. For Foundations dancers, no shoes are required for any genre. If your dancer shows interest in a specific genre, please speak to a teacher, and she will assist you in purchasing shoes. 

Water: 

EADE does not have a water fountain or vending machine. Please have your dancer prepared with water to drink during class. 

Audience Members: 

EADE seeks to create an environment where parents are comfortable leaving their dancer at the EADE facility and returning at the end of rehearsal. EADE does not offer a lobby or viewing area. Parents are welcome into the rehearsal space at the end of rehearsal and when given permission by the dancer and the EADE teacher. 

Pathway Attendance Policy:

Registered dancers are expected to attend all scheduled rehearsals. Dancers are allowed TWO missed rehearsals with no questions asked from August – December (Fall).  Dancers are allowed TWO missed rehearsals with no questions asked from January – May (Spring). Allowed absences do not carry over from the fall to the spring. After the THIRD missed rehearsal in the fall or spring, the dancer will not be permitted to perform in any EADE Trading Floor Showcases. 

EADE will make exceptions with the presentation of a doctor, court, or funeral statement. These statements must be emailed to ellenalvindanceexchange@gmail.com prior to the start of the scheduled class.

However, if the student misses TEN classes for any reason, the student will not be eligible to participate in the end of the year showcase. 

EADE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR TRACKING YOUR DANCER’S ATTENDANCE AND/OR COMMUNICATING YOUR DANCER’S ATTENDANCE WHEN THEY ARE AT RISK OF SURPASSING THE NUMBER OF ALLOWED ABSENCES. DANCERS AND CLIENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRACKING INDIVIDUAL ATTENDANCE.

Missed choreography rehearsals on the students' behalf will not be made-up. EADE is not required to make-up classes canceled due to sickness, school events, inclement weather, and other events outside of the studio’s control.

The EADE teacher will not be expected to re-teach, to reserve placements, or to make accommodations for students who do not attend class.

Please see EADE 2024-2025 calendar in general policies for rehearsal times and scheduled events. 

Pathway Withdrawal Policy:

All pathway dancers must notify EADE one month prior to the next billing due date (1st of the month) if desiring to withdraw from the programs. If the dancer decides to withdraw within one month of the next billing cycle, the dancer will be charged the entire month tuition in which he/she withdrew. A withdrawal form is required to release clients from agreement. 

If EADE receives NO notice, and the dancer no longer attends class, the dancer will be charged a “No Show/No Response” fee of following four consecutively missed rehearsals with no response to EADE communication. Unpaid fees will be charged to the dancer’s payment method, and the dancer will be dropped from the class, and the client will not be reimbursed for any paid fees associated with the class and training pathway.
