Studio Policies
Brevard Ballet Academy

Consistent attendance is the single greatest factor in a dancer’s progress. Ballet builds on itself week to week, and missed classes are difficult to recover. We ask that students attend regularly and arrive five to ten minutes before class so they are warmed up and ready to begin on time.

Students who arrive after the barre has begun may be asked to observe for safety reasons. If your student must miss a class, please notify the studio in advance. Make-up classes may be available in a comparable level when space permits.

Tuition is billed on a monthly basis and is due by the first of each month, regardless of the number of classes in that month or individual absences. Tuition reserves your student’s place in class for the full season.

We accept major credit cards and other convenient payment methods. A late fee may apply to balances unpaid after the grace period. Families experiencing hardship are encouraged to contact us privately—we will always do our best to help a dedicated student continue training.

We understand that circumstances change. To withdraw a student, please provide written notice to the studio. Tuition is non-refundable once a month has begun, and notice given mid-month does not prorate that month’s tuition.

Registration, costume, and performance fees are non-refundable, as these funds are committed to materials and venue arrangements on your student’s behalf. We appreciate your understanding as we plan our season around enrolled dancers.

Florida weather can be unpredictable. In the event of severe weather, hurricanes, or other emergencies, the studio may cancel classes for the safety of our families and staff. Closures will be communicated by email and posted to our social media channels as early as possible.

When feasible, missed classes due to weather closures may be rescheduled or offered as a make-up. Tuition is not adjusted for occasional weather-related cancellations.

To help students concentrate, classes are generally closed to observers. We know families love to watch, so we schedule designated observation weeks each season when parents and guardians are warmly invited into the studio to see their dancer’s progress.

A comfortable waiting area is available for families during class. For our youngest dancers, a parent may be asked to remain on-site. Thank you for trusting us with your dancer’s training—we look forward to celebrating their growth with you.
