Adding/Dropping Classes or Making Changes to the Registration 

All withdrawals must be made 14 days prior to the withdrawal date (before the 1st of the next month). A withdrawal notification form must be completed and hand-delivered to a staff member of  Avalon Dance. A $35 withdrawal fee will be due at the time of withdrawal. 

**Please ensure that the anticipated date of withdrawal is clearly noted. 

Once a costume deposit is made the costume is yours therefore you are responsible for the total cost of the costume. In extenuating circumstances, Avalon Dance will attempt to cancel the costume order if notification is given in time for the distributor to cancel. 

Absenteeism

· Students who miss a class are given the option of attending a similar class (This option is available  between August and March 1st) 

· There are no refunds for missed classes. Students are encouraged to take another class during the open period noted above. Our teachers work hard at accommodating additional students who are making up classes.
