In the event of inclement weather, in-studio classes may be cancelled if the Ridgefield Public schools are closed. Some classes will be offered via Zoom. Every attempt will be made to make up cancelled classes.
There are no refunds or credits for missed classes. Missed classes may be made up in any discipline within the session they were missed.
A 5% discount on tuition will be given to families with more than one student dancing. There are no refunds following the 2nd week of classes.
The Ridgefield School of Dance reserves the right to cancel classes with insufficient enrollment.
Virtual classes: we do not offer virtual classes at this time. However, we had an extremely successful virtual class experience with robust attendance during the pandemic. Should we need to migrate to virtual classes, whether for a limited or extended period of time, dancers will be expected to attend. There will be no refunds or credits for Ballet 3 and up or any Jazz Department classes. Dancers in PreBallet, Ballet 1 and Ballet 2 who do not participate will receive a partial credit towards the next session.
