It is possible to get up to 50% off tuition fees (does not apply to extras such as costume prices, registration fee, late fees, or apparel). For more information about the Inclusion Assistance Program, click here. What are these extra fees on my account? If you see extra fees on your account, it could be for costumes, t-shirts, shoes, or late fees. All students who participate in recitals, showcases, performances will be charged for the specific item. For example, all students will receive a t-shirt/costume for recitals and showcases. If you don’t want your child to be in the showcase/recital, let us know as soon as possible. You have the option of not purchasing the item, however, your student will stand out amongst the rest of the students.  Note: Your student cannot participate in the spring recital without a costume.  For more information on what to expect to pay, click here. What discounts do you offer? We have Multi-Class, Sibling, Same Class in 2 locations, Boys in Dance, Military Family, and Veteran Family discounts. Click here (near top on right side) for more information on discounts. What is appropriate hair and attire for classes? Hair: If the child has longer hair, make sure their hair is free from their face and in a tight bun, braid, or ponytail for class. Attire: • Ballet: Tights, leotard, ballet shoes (if you don’t have these items yet, feel free to wear any tight fitting clothing that moves freely). • Other Dance classes: Tight fitting clothing that moves freely, black jazz dance shoes. • Gymnastics: Tight fitting clothing that moves freely, leotards can also be worn. No shoes or socks. • Ninja Warrior Parkour: Loose fitting, free moving clothing, tennis shoes. • You do not need dance/ballet shoes right away, Inclusion Dance can size your child and order them for you if you do not have any. • NO JEANS, KHAKI PANTS, OR BDU-TYPE PANTS. NO JEWELRY. If you have any questions on where to get appropriate attire. Ask any member of staff and we will help you out! Where can I purchase appropriate practice attire for my student? For dance, acro, and gymnastics classes, www.discountdance.com is a great place to get attire for class or speak with any staff member and we can order appropriate attire for you! How do I know what level class my child needs to take? We can set up trial classes for your child to help assess their abilities, and what classes they should be in. Speak with one of our administrators or Marla to set up trial classes! Click here for contact information.  For more information on expected skills and class levels, click here. How do I sign up for a class? You can register for classes online or go to either one of our studio locations to speak with our administrators to get you signed up! Feel free to call 906-367-5404 and ask to register your student. What happens if my child misses a class? We would hope your child never misses a class, but we understand that life happens and things come up. If your child needs to miss a class, filll out the online form or send a text to 906-367-5404. If your student is part of the performance team or competition team, absences drastically affects the team as a whole. It slows down progress of everyone in the class and puts the perfection of the routine on standstill. Please attend class as much as possible. Snow-day Policy In Crystal Falls, if Forest Park School is closed for weather related issues, all classes for that day will be canceled. In Iron River, if West Iron County Schools are closed for weather related issues, classes in Iron River will be canceled for that day. If for some reason Forest Park Schools closes and West Iron County Schools stay open, the Iron River Location will still have classes. If opposite and Forest Park is open and West Iron closed, Crystal Falls will have classes and West Iron will be closed.  We know some snow-days will happen. If there is more than 1 snow day per semester (Sept-December and January-April), Inclusion Dance will find a way to make up the class time that has been missed. You will be informed about the make-up day/time. We will send an email and/or text when we cancel classes, and it will be posted on Facebook (so please like and follow our page). Why shouldn’t I interact with my child while they are in class!? When your child is in class, we ask that you don’t speak to them, or let them know your presence. We want them to be focused on what they are learning, and not on the distraction of you. Even if they want to show you what they’ve learned, we ask that you wait until the end of class. We need their full attention, and we appreciate your understanding with this! For most classes, you are able to watch your child during the last 5 minutes of class (please ask the admin/receptionist to inform the teacher that you would like to watch for the last 5 minutes).
