Enrollment

• Dancers currently enrolled at Fuzion may enroll at any time.  Enrollment will open to the general public on April 15, 2010.
• Each dancer will need to submit a completed enrollment form, a $20 registration fee per dancer and a $30 recital fee per household.
• How do I enroll?  Online or by mail.  You can mail enrollment forms and payments to 435 A NW Independence Topeka, KS  66608 or you can drop forms and payments off during Fuzion Enrollment Week or during Fuzion office hours.
• Class space is limited so enroll as soon as possible.  Classes are filled on a first come first serve basis.  Classes must have at least 6 dancers enrolled by September 15.  Any dancers in classes which do not have 6 dancers enrolled will be moved into another class.  Dancers who do not get into the class of their choice can be but on a waiting list.  There is a $20 non-refundable regstration fee to be put on the waiting list.
• Classes for the 10-11 dance season begin Monday, August 9, 2010.
• Special note for families enrolling 3 or more dancers:  Fuzion will waive the tuition fee for the child with the lowest tuition.
• If a dancer chooses to withdraw from his/her dance class before December 1, 2010, Fuzion School of Dance will refund your $30 recital fee.  See cancellation policy below.  Registration fees are non-refundable.

Cancellation Policy

• There is a 30 day cancellation policy.  Kelly must receive a cancellation notice in writing (letter or e-mail) stating the dancers name and classes the dancers chooses to drop.  30 days from the day the letter is received the dancer will officially be removed from the Fuzion system.  All fees accrued within those 30 days must be paid.

Tuition Payments
 

• Tuition is due by the 10th of each month from August through May.  Failure to make a tuition payment by the 15th of the month will result in a $5 late fee.  Dancers with an open tuition balance on their account as of the 20th of the month will not be allowed to participate in classes until their tuition is paid in full.  Dancers who enroll before August 9, 2010 must start paying tuition in August.
• Beginning in August, dancers who enroll between the 1st and the 15th of the month will not get a prorated tuition rate.  Dancers who enroll between the 16th and 31st of the month will get their first month tuition at 1/2 price.
• Payment options are cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover or PayPal online.  Payments can be mailed to the studio, dropped off in the payment box next to the studio entrance or given to the front desk worker.  If you plan to pay in cash, you MUST put the cash in an envelope and clearly mark the envelope with the dancers name.  Receipts will be given upon request.

Payment Plans for Extra Fees (costumes, entry fees, workshop fees, etc)

• All accounts will be billed at the time of enrollment for all the extra fees that apply to the program(s) they have enrolled for.  These fees will be divided into 3 payments.  The first payment will be due September 30, the second payment will be due October 31 and the third payment will be due November 30.  You will be expected to pay your fees on time.  Dancers with unpaid extra fees on their account as of October 5, November 5 or December 5 will not be allowed to participate in class until their extra fee payments are paid in full.  If you are in need of extending your payments, you will need to speak with Kelly.  All accounts MUST have extra fees paid no later than January 31, 2011.  Any accounts that cannot make that commitment will not be allowed to continue in Fuzion dance classes.

Create A Budget That Works For You

• Seeing as the amount of conventions, competitions, and additional fees are laid out in advance, parents are encouraged to do the homework and decide ahead of time what the family can afford.  Fuzion, like every other competitive team, can quickly become costly if you do not set your limits.  Also, the more dances you choose to participate in, of course, means more rehearsal time.  Choosing an unlimited amount of dances along with a solo and duo/trio will quickly become a heavy time and financial commitment.  Remember, when you say yes to that extra dance or two, please keep in mind it is not just the rehearsal fee you are saying yes to. You are also saying yes to the additional costume fee, rehearsal time and the fee to compete it at every competition.

Final Account Payments

• Accounts with an outstanding balance as of dress rehearsal will not be allowed to perform in the recital until the balance is paid in full.  There will be no refunds given to dancers who do not perform in the recital.

Fuzion Annual Recital

• The Fuzion School of Dance annual recital will be held Wednesday, June 1, 2011.  Dress rehearsal will be Tuesday, May 31, 2011.  Dress rehearsal and recital will take place at the Topeka Performing Arts Center.  A detailed recital handbook will be distributed to each Fuzion family in late February/early March.

Attendance/Practice Policy

• Dancers must be committed to their dance classes.  In order for the dancers at Fuzion to excel throughout the year, it is very important that they attend dance class regularly and take time outside of class to practice.  If absenteeism becomes a concern, the instructor will contact the parents and make necessary arrangements for the dancer.

Attendance Policy for Competition Dancers

• Dancers who sign up for the Showstoppers or Xcel Program are signing up for a competition program.  The Fuzion faculty wants as many dancers to participate as possible but we also want our programs to be solid.  In order for dancers to excel and do well, we need them to be at every class/rehearsal.  We understand that there may be a time or two when a dancer just simply cannot make it to class/rehearsal, so we have an attendance policy for competition dancers.
• Dancers will not be allowed to miss more than FOUR classes/rehearsals for the year (per class/rehearsal).  On their fifth absence they will be removed from the dance and no refunds will be given for costumes, entry fees, rehearsal fees, workshop fees, or tuition.

Make-up Policy

• Dancers have the option of making up absences.  To make up an absence, dancers must set up a ½ hour private lesson with their teacher.  Private lessons are $15 per ½ hour.
