Lessons:
All dance classes offered at Ruth Robics & Dance Co. will be held at the studio located at 5626 South Avenue in Boardman, OH. The Fall Schedule will begin the first week of October and will run through mid June. The entire schedule will run in four week sessions, excluding December, which will be a two week session. |
Attendance Policy:
Ruth’s Robics & Dance Co. centers on the development of strong dancers through teaching the principles of Ballet, Jazz and Modern Dance techniques. To ensure a highly successful program, there is an inherent need to have constant attendance by the students. If a student misses more than 5 classes during the year, a doctor’s note will be required. Furthermore, if a student habitually misses class, he/she will be omitted from the recital. Teamwork is essential throughout the year, and performances will reflect the commitment level of the students working together. If there is a need to miss a lesson (e.g. family emergency, illness, etc.), please call the studio to report off at 330-782-6785. |
Missed Lessons/Makeup Lessons:
Missed lessons due to poor weather conditions may be credited to your monthly payment. However,
if classes are missed for illness or extenuating circumstances, it is the students responsibility to make arrangements with the instructor to receive a group make-up lesson. All monthly payments will remain the same amount for lessons missed when students fail to come to class.
|
Cancelled Lessons:
There may be a time when lessons are cancelled by the instructor due to weather, instructor illness or travel. Cancellations due to weather will be reported on the local news stations, under the name of Ruth’s Robics & Dance. If you call the studio, there will be an appropriate message on the machine. When classes are cancelled by the studio, a class may be made up or credited for the month. If a lesson has to be cancelled for any other reason, it will be announced in class in advance, or we will call the students homes.
|
Monthly Payments:
All payments must be turned in the first week of the month. Please follow the payment calendar that is handed to you at registration. Any payment past 30 days will include a $10.00 late fee for that month. Due to building rental, payroll, utilities, etc., the studio cannot have an interruption in cash flow. |
Costumes:
The order for costumes is paid up front by the studio. In order to guarantee your costume comes in on time. A 40% down payment must be paid by mid March. A payment plan will be set up for you for the remaining balance. All costume payments must be paid in full two weeks before the recital date. Otherwise, students will not be permitted to perform in the annual recital.

What to Wear to Class:
Leotards, tights and dance pants are the only acceptable forms of clothing for class. This is necessary so that the instructors will be able to check body alignment and proper execution of movements. T-Shirts, jeans and school attire are not acceptable for class. If you are arriving from school or work, please bring a change of clothes that is necessary for your lesson. Proper shoes are required at all times (ballet or jazz shoes for respective classes). You can find the items you need at any dance supply store, catalogue or local retail outlet. |
