Refund Policy
Tuition and registration fees are non refundable. A credit may be issued for future use if your dancer is unable to continue in his/her enrolled class.
Returned Checks
$35 is charged each time a check is re-deposited.
Attendance
Consistent attendance is important to a students’ growth as well as to the curriculum of the entire class. Please call studio to inform of absence. Classes begin on time with all students ready to dance.
Make-Up Classes
Absences may be made up during the current term. Please ask your current instructor if you would like a recommendation for an appropriate class. Please notify Steps Dance Center in advance if you plan on attending a make-up class.
Weather Closure Policy
If District 204 is closed for weather related problems, Steps Dance Center will be closed. In the case of severe weather, we will send an e-mail and change our voicemail. We will also post to our Facebook and Spond pages. Students will be able to make up a class missed for severe weather at another time. Please speak to your instructor for a recommendation for an appropriate class. We do not offer credit or refunds for missed classes due to severe weather.
Class Size
Class size limits are determined by the style of dance, age of student, and size of studio space. We try to keep the classes at a size that ensures each dancer will receive the attention they need. Larger classes often have a teaching assistant. If a class has reached full capacity, you may join a waiting list. Steps reserves the right to cancel a class due to insufficient enrollment.
Food and Drink
No gum, food or drink in dance rooms. Absolutely no nut products are permitted in the studio. We have a filtered water fountain available for dancers, as well as water bottles available for purchase for $1 at the front desk.
Attire for Dancers
Dancers must abide by the Steps Dance Center dress code. If a student arrives for class not wearing the appropriate attire they will not be able to participate in the class for that day. Our dress code is in place for safety, professionalism, and for the optimal training of the dancer. Hair must be pulled back neatly away from the face. Ballet classes must have their hair secured in a bun. No jewelry is permitted.
Appropriate attire can be purchased on our Nimbly website:

*Please label all belongings. The Lost & Found is located in the back hallway near the Steps Cafe. Steps is not responsible for lost articles.
