STUDIO POLICIES & PROCEDURES
​
PAYMENTS
Tuition is calculated based on the full September - June dance season, accounting for holidays and snow days, and divided into 9.5 equal tuition installments. Siblings enrolled at Fusion receive a 10% discount off the second child's tuition of equal or lesser value. The discount is only given to siblings and cannot be extended to more distant family relationships.
All accounts are required to have a Visa or MasterCard saved on file. All payments will be automatically deducted, including monthly tuition installments charged on the 1st of each month, the Recital costume payment charged on October 15th, and Performance Program/Dance Company installments for participating dancers on 9/15, 10/15, 1/15 and 2/15.
If you prefer to pay with cash, check, or another card, simply do so before the 1st of the month. If by some chance the payment fails, you have until the 10th of the month to complete your tuition installment. After the 10th, a $15 late fee will be added to your account.
​
Full Year Tuition: Receive a 5% discount on your tuition for the year. Payment is due two weeks after registration via cash or check ONLY. Please let us know if you will be paying your tuition in full but would still like to be automatically charged for the costume payment and Performance Program/Dance Company installments. If not received by October 15th, the discount will no longer apply.
​
All payments, including registration fees, tuition, costumes, event enrollment fees and Company/Performance Program installments, are non-refundable. In the event a check is returned, a $30 NSF fee will be charged. After two returned checks, only cash payments will be accepted.
No credits will be given for studio closings due to weather or unplanned studio closings. Fusion Dance Centre does not mail account statements. It is the parent's responsibility to be aware of their account.
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Payment responsibility is that of the family. Each account at Fusion Dance Centre will be under ONE parent or guardian's name, and it is the responsibility of that parent or guardian to keep payments up to date. There are no exceptions to this policy. All payment issues between families should be organized outside of Fusion Dance Centre. There are no partial payments accepted in the event a dancer's tuition is being funded by more than one party. Please make arrangements prior to the season as to how your dancer's account will be handled.
​
All financial obligations carried over for more than three months will be handed over to a collection agency and your child will be unable to participate in class. The account holder is responsible for a $30 NSF fee for all declined transactions and returned checks.
WITHDRAWALS & CANCELLATIONS
To withdraw from a class, you must notify the office at office@fdc.dance before the 1st of the month. You are responsible for all tuition and fees through the date of withdrawal.
​
All payments, including registration fees, tuition, costumes, and Performance Program installments, are non-refundable.
DRESS CODE
Please refer to the studio dress code and ensure your dancer has proper shoes and dancewear required to participate in each class.
BEHAVIOR CODE
A strict behavior code for dancers and parents will be followed, which includes absolutely no inappropriate touching, hitting, yelling, or bullying of the other students, parents, staff and faculty. Any student or parent who does not adhere to this rule will immediately be dismissed from the studio.
COVID-19 / GOVERNMENT-MANDATED CLOSING CODE
In the event of pandemic-level illness, Fusion Dance Centre will follow the guidelines set forth by the Center for Disease Control, the State of New Jersey, and the Union County Health Department. This includes, if applicable: health screenings for staff and students, the use of Personal Protective Equipment, social distancing, or closing to protect the health and safety of all students and staff members. In the event of a mandatory closing, we will automatically switch to a virtual class model, and all classes will resume as scheduled via our online platform or through pre-recorded content.
