FAQ’s
Whether you are new to CEDC or a returning member, this is a helpful guide to answering some
common questions about our studio!

What should my dancer wear to class?

Dancers cannot participate in class if they are not dressed appropriately.
No necklaces, bracelets, watches, rings, or dangly earrings are permitted in classes. Hair should be pulled back and secured off face for all classes. Find CEDC’s specific dress codes for the designated class here.

How do I pay my tuition?

Tuition is due the 1st of the month. Parents can log into their online portal to pay or send a check into the studio no later than the 1st. Let us know if you are interested in automated payments! There is a 3% service charge on all card payments. Any late accounts after the 5th of the month will be charged a $25 late fee.

Can I watch my dancer’s class?

Weekly classes are closed for viewing as we want to ensure that the dancers have a safe dance environment for spacing, as well as dancers feel free to express themselves through movement while focused on instruction. There will be a designated Parent Observation Week during the year. Additionally, we have two viewing monitors in the lobby of our Point Hope location.

When should I arrive for class start and pickup?

Arrival and dismissal should be prompt and on time due to capacity, scheduling and safety. No dancer should be left outside to wait unattended. We recommend arriving for your class 5-10 minutes early. Parents should come into the studio to escort their dancers safely to their vehicle, and check they have all their belongings.

What is the absence policy? Can I make up the class?

Dancers must attend 75% of classes per month to remain enrolled in the class and be eligible for the end of the season show. Students are authorized and encouraged to make-up classes by attending other available classes in their level, or a level down. CEDC does not prorate tuition or offer refunds due to missed classes.

Will my dancer participate in the recital? When will the recital be?

Spring Show Week is in the beginning of June *confirmed show dates will be released further into the Fall semester. Although participation is not required, we hope that your dancer will join us! More information will be released in early-Spring including sign-up forms, pricing, and other recital-related dates!

We can’t wait to dance with you in Season 11!
