student or parents’ responsibility to schedule a make-up class—you must alert Miss Janka
before showing up for a make-up class. All make-ups must be made before the end of the
dance season in June. Make-ups DO NOT roll over to the following dance season or
summer camps/classes. There are NO REFUNDS or DISCOUNTS for missed classes or
dropouts. Our 2023-2024 calendar dates consider set holidays and scheduled closures.

CLASS COMMITMENT:
Students should register for classes with the intent to regularly participate and attend the
session from September 11, 2023 through June 15, 2024. In order for us to provide the
safest possible training at Janka’s Level Up Dance Academy, we expect that once you
register, you will be completing the season in its entirety. We understand that
unforeseeable and unavoidable circumstances may occur, in this case, we invite you to
take full advantage of our make-up policy and/or discuss the possibility of transferring classes with
Miss Janka. If you choose to discontinue from a class, your class reservation will end at the
end of the month in which you informed Miss Janka that you were cancelling. You are
responsible for tuition payments until the end of that month. NO REFUNDS OR
DISCOUNTS. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Facebook and Instagram pages. When a class is canceled due to an emergency and/or
weather, a refund will NOT be issued, and additional classes will NOT be
scheduled. Students are highly encouraged to make-up missed classes by taking another
similar or same level class on the schedule. There are NO
REFUNDS or DISCOUNTS for weather cancellations, instead, as stated above, students
are highly encouraged to make-up in another class.

Any questions for teachers can be sent to the studio email, phone or scheduled with Miss Janka. Please refrain from pulling a teacher in between classes as instructors want to
give you proper attention but schedules are tight, and instructors need to be in class.

should be done through the studio phone or email or brought to studio directors’
attention.
