Weather Closures:
The Dance Movement follows SVVSD for school weather closures. When SVVSD is closed DUE TO WEATHER, The Dance Movement will also be closed. If SVVSD has a “remote learning” day TDM will likely be closed.
If SVVSD is NOT closed, but The Dance Movement feels it is unsafe for dancers and staff to travel, we will let you know no later than 2pm for classes starting at 4:00/4:30pm, or 8am for morning classes. *In most cases, Families will receive an email informing them of the closure. Please also check the website or The Dance Movement Facebook/Instagram page for confirmation.
No refunds or make-up classes will be issued for weather closures.
TDM’s Make-up class policy:
The Dance Movement does NOT allow make-ups for dancer absences due to illness, travel, etc. Many of our classes are full and the integrity of the class instruction is affected, as well as the safety of dancers when the class size is too large. This is strictly enforced.
If The Dance Movement closes or cancels a class for unexpected reasons, the dancers affected will be allowed to make-up the missed class by taking a similar class at the same level. All make-up classes must be made within 2 weeks of the closure/cancellation. Refunds will not be given. This does not apply to weather closures.
If you do not receive an email regarding a closure or read it on the website, that means we are open.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
TDM’s Tardy policy:
If a dancer is more than 15 minutes late, they may be asked to observe the remainder of the class. Warm-up happens in the first 15 minutes of class and if a dancer does not warm-up properly they risk injury.
A class will never be modified or extended to accommodate a dancer that is tardy, nor will refunds be offered.
If a dancer/dancers in the class are more than 20 minutes late, and class attendance is less than 2 dancers, the teacher reserves the right to cancel class. Refunds will not be offered to tardy dancers.
