Private lessons are expected to make up for missed classes at the competitive & recreational level. There is a personal training fee for each private lesson. If the dancer is able to catch up on what was missed, and the lesson does not need to be reviewed, the dancer will not need to make up the class. If there are multiple missed classes, a private lesson may be mandatory. If a dancer misses more than 6 classes per term at any age or level, they may be asked not to perform in the year end recital, regardless of whether costume fees are paid or not. At the competitive level, there is a high level of commitment to dance before signing up.
Payment is sent by etransfer to info@stagedooracademyofdance.com, after invoices are received. If the invoice does not look correct to you, or there are any questions, please email the studio to communicate any corrections before sending payment.
Competitive Team Invites will be sent out by August and dancers are chosen based off of their attendance the previous season, attitude, ability to pick up new choreography, behavior, class etiquette, and performance value on stage. With the values listed above and enough training, every child at SDA will have the tools to succeed and continue to see improvements in both their dancing and their performance ability. We value passion over perfection, but strive to be our personal best. Check out our workshops page often, for updates on workshops and enrichment programs.
