Steps 'N Motion Dance Studio, P. O. Box 78836, Charlotte, NC 28271

Two weeks after classes begin, prospective students are invited to participate in one class on a trial basis, free of charge. If they decide to enroll in the studio, the trial class counts as the first class towards tuition.

Students are assigned to classes according to their ability level and not necessarily by age or number of years of dance. During the first six weeks of class, students are evaluated on their progress. If a teacher feels it would benefit a child’s individual needs to be placed in another class, you will be notified. Please feel free to discuss your child’s progress with us at any time. We want to hear from you!

Students should arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before their scheduled class time and be picked up no more than 10 minutes after the class ends unless arrangements have been made with the office. Students are not allowed to wait outside for parents and should be cautioned against doing so.

When the weather is bad, please call the studio after 2:00 p.m. for a message regarding class status.  In general, we close when public schools close, but it is best to call for verification.  Classes cancelled due to inclement weather are not made up.

All students are required to dress properly for class (leotards and tights or dance pants). Proper shoes are also required. Dance shoes should not be worn outside the studio. PLEASE label all shoe and dance items with first and last name.

During normal classes, parents are requested to remain outside the classroom to avoid possible distraction, however, there are scheduled weeks during the dance year when parents are invited into the classroom to observe an entire lesson. At this time, you may take photographs and videos of your child’s class. Please do not use this time to judge your child’s progress. Because of the many distractions during these weeks, it is often not a true reflection of his/her dance ability. Rather, use this time as an opportunity to enjoy watching your child in action!

Discontinued Classes - If a student discontinues a class, it is your responsibility to notify the office in writing.   Tuition charges are based on the date of your written drop notice, not your first missed class.   Unused fees may be applied to future classes in the same dance year. No refunds are given. Unused fees will be counted from the date of notification and not from the day of the last class attended.
