👚 What should my dancer wear to class?
At Heather’s Dance Life, we encourage all dancers to wear clothing that allows them to move freely and feel confident. When dancers feel good in what they’re wearing, they dance their best!
While we don’t require strict uniforms, proper dance attire is strongly encouraged for safety, confidence, and performance quality.
Recommended Dancewear:
• Leotards, tights, dance pants, or sports tops
• Hair should be pulled back and secured out of the face
Footwear by Class Style:
• Ballet – Ballet shoes
• Tap – Tap shoes
• Jazz – Jazz shoes
• Hip Hop – Clean sneakers (not worn outside)
• Tumbling – Bare feet
• Contemporary/Lyrical – Ballet shoes or bare feet
We understand that life happens and dancers may occasionally miss a class. If your dancer misses a regularly scheduled class, they are welcome to attend a make-up class within 4 weeks of the missed date.
Make-Up Class Guidelines:
• Dancers may attend any age-appropriate class listed on our schedule (excluding Company classes)
• Make-up classes must be used within 4 weeks of the missed class
• There is no need to pre-register, but please check in at the front desk upon arrival
• Make-up classes cannot be used as regular enrollment in a different class
• Tuition must be current and up to date in order to attend a make-up class
If you have questions about which classes are suitable for your dancer’s make-up, we’re happy to help you choose!
At Heather’s Dance Life, tuition is billed monthly and due in advance to hold your dancer’s spot in class.
Tuition Details:
• Tuition is due on the 20th of each month for the upcoming month
(Example: September tuition is due August 20th)
• Tuition is billed automatically through your online parent portal
• Payments can be made via credit card or cash paid to the front desk before the 20th.
• Tuition remains the same each month regardless of holidays or absences
⸻
⏰ What happens if my tuition is late?
To keep our classes running smoothly for all families, on-time tuition payments are essential. We completely understand that things come up-but consistent payments allow us to provide the best experience for our dancers.
• A $30 late fee will be applied to all accounts not paid by the 25th of the month
• If tuition is not paid and no Membership pause has been requested, the dancer's enrollment will be dropped and their class spot released
• Re-enrollment will be based on availability and will require a new membership fee
💛 We’re always happy to work with you—just keep us in the loop if something comes up. Communication is key!
