Reverence Academy Policies

Reverence Academy Policies

Tuition and Payments - Tuition for classes can be paid annually, by semester or monthly. Semester payments are due by September and January 10th. Monthly payments are due the first of the month. All payments received after the 10th of the month will be assessed a $10.00 late fee. Returned checks will be charged a $30.00 returned check fee.
The annual fee is based on the number of hours of weekly classes. As the number of weekly hours increase, the hourly rate decreases. The Academy year runs from August to May. Due to bad weather, a make-up class will be scheduled if necessary. When the RAD classes are cancelled during exam week, the mandatory mock exam will be the make-up class.
No monthly statements will be sent. It is your responsibility to note your payment and the due date. A notice will be posted on the door and notice bulletin board.
Students who are registered for more than 8 hours of dance classes per week may take any additional classes for free.
Families who are registered for more than 10 hours of dance classes per week may take any additional classes for free. The payment is based on the sum of each child's class hours per week. This is for immediate family members only.

The Spring Concert will be at Centarus High School each year, usually the 1st or 2nd weekend in June. To participate in a Spring Concert number you must register for that class by DEC 15th each year. This allows the studio enough time to measure each student & order costumes. Also it allows enough time for the student to learn the material for the concert. It is at the discretion of the teachers of Reverence Academy of Dance to determine if a student who has joined a class in January is ready for the associated dance number in the Spring Concert.

Picture Day will be at the studio. Please check at the desk or call for the dates & times.

We are planning to do a few conventions and/or competitions per year. Those TBA at a later date.

We are teachers who continue our own education to become better teachers by taking courses of international standard.

We will have an office attendant to address any questions or concerns during class hours! You may e-mail Miss Sheree or Miss Vera with your concern, or access a direct voice mail to leave a message. Please use this format to ask teachers a question since they are busy during and between classes.

We will provide you with a comfortable waiting area. Please respect the common area as you would any other professional waiting area.

A uniform for each class will be required. Hair must be up for all classes, and in a bun for ballet – no exceptions.

Uniforms, and shoes may be viewed through our web site, or personally ordered from Boulder Body Wear. Payment is required in advance. To view the uniforms and costs, look on the Class Attire page on this Web Site. We will do our best to keep costs low, but quality high.

Classes during exam week will be cancelled for the RAD program. The mock exam acts in lieu of that missed class.

We average the number of classes per month eg. More in some months - November, May, January and less in others- March, December, etc. therefore we charge a constant fee from August to May. This average includes extra work we do for exam preparation, competitions, dress rehearsal and concert and choreography. Many hours go into these projects both by instructors and management.

Competitions Classes are by audition only. They are offered in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, Hip Hop and Worship. Open auditions are the first day of class in September. Exceptions may be made by the choreographer. These classes are available only to students taking 2 ballet classes per week.

We will have an open house before the Christmas Break. Please plan to attend this special event that highlights the progress made by students at the Academy.

Reverence Academy of Dance is not responsible for

lost, stolen or damaged property.

The Royal Academy of Dance will be the base program of the Academy but not required. No extra classes this year on weekends! Even though we feel strong technique in ballet provides the basis of any dancing, we do not requiring students to take a ballet course.

Open classes are listed on the evening schedule. RAD students Grade 1 and up need to take 2 classes per week and will participate in either an Exam or Class Presentation. Majors in the Vocational program need a minimum of 3 classes per week.
Exams: will be at the studio in Lafayette every year. Only mock exams will be scheduled outside a normal schedule.
If you do not see a class you wish to take, please contact us. We will consider any suggestion.

Academy Information – Please use this web site for any information on schedules, registration, upcoming events, monthly newsletters, and important information, otherwise we will post the information in the studio and it is your responsibility to read the ‘board’ once a week.
