Students
Regular attendance is important to facilitate maximum progress for every student. It is especially important when the instructor(s) start to begin their annual recital dance.
Arriving on time is critical for dancers. This is will give each dancer to participate in the warm up. Missing the warm up could cause an injury to the dancer.

Any class not meeting the minimum quota of five students will be cancelled, shortened, rescheduled to combine with another class, or shared an increased tuition to offset the expense of low enrollment.
Make up class is available upon consultation with the instructor or administration. Tuition is due in full for all classes regardless of class attendance and is not prorated for reasons such as illness, vacations, or weather.
When a student will no longer be attending classes, it is the parent's responsibility to officially withdraw the child from class by filling out a withdrawal form at the studio in person. Until the dancer is officially withdrawn, we will consider the student to be active in the dance program. The parent will continue to be financially responsible for the tuition up until the exact date that Bartelt Dancers receives the withdrawal form.
Recital
Our end of the year recital is planned for the first or second weekend in June. The recital fee is due by March 1st and is $40 per family. The recital fee covers two tickets, rental of the theater, and production costs. Additional tickets will cost $8.00 each. Recital costume fees are due by November 1st and are non refundable. Youth costumes (10 years and younger) are $65 each and adult costumes (11 years and older) are $75 each. Costumes will not be ordered unless they are paid in full. Late costume fees will require additional shipping fees and will only be ordered if delivery prior to recital is guaranteed. Once tuition is paid in full you will be able to take home your recital costume.
Inclement Weather
Bartelt Dancers will be closed when Upper Arlington Schools are closed due to weather conditions. Each student is responsible for scheduling a make up class with the front desk.
