MAKEUP POLICY All dancers are entitled to two in-person makeup classes per Winter/Spring or Fall sessions. In addition, all dancers are entitled to unlimited virtual makeup classes per session broadcast from our Tribeca studio. Makeups must be scheduled in advance in age-appropriate, available classes. Please note any makeup class cancelled within 24 hours of scheduled class cannot be rescheduled. There are no make ups or trials during spring or summer short programs, and no make up classes for holidays, weather closures, or other instances in which classes do not take place. Due to recital preparation, no makeup classes will be permitted in the month of June. Dancers are entitled to one makeup class during the Summer session. Please submit here to request a makeup ahead of time. Makeups may only be scheduled after the class has been missed and must be taken within the same session in which the class was missed, as makeups do not carry over from session to session. HAMPTONS SUMMER: Each class will be entitled to one full in-person makeup class if class must be canceled for any reason (inclement weather, out-of-town travel, etc). Any additional makeup (for a total of 2 per dancer), must be done individually in another age-appropriate class. Please note there are no tuition adjustments for classes missed for any reason.

FALL ENROLLMENT ROLLOVER Students enrolled in Fall in-person and virtual dance classes will be automatically re-enrolled into their same classes in the next session unless they opt out, in order to guarantee their spot(s) in the next session. In both cases, no less than two (2) notices will be sent to enrolled students via email reminding them of this rollover and providing opportunity to opt-out of the next session. Should students not opt out by the provided deadline, they will be re-enrolled and their credit card on file will be charged for the published rate of the following session.
