Studio Rules

Students’ names should be on all items (e.g., dance shoes, dance bags, etc.). The staff will assume no responsibility for lost, stolen, or misplaced items.

WAITING AREA: Please treat our facility as you would your own home. We ask that you not allow your children to run up and down the hallway. All young children must be supervised by a responsible adult. Food should not be eaten in our waiting area. Only water will be allowed in the gym and dance rooms.

WAITING ROOM -Our waiting room is open to parents during our young preschool and petite classes only.

**If your child has previously attended Caffery’s and feels comfortable entering the studio on their own, we ask that they continue to do so.

Parents/Guardians or our older students classes – the first weeks you are more than welcome to come and view our studio and waiting room. We ask after you and your child/s are in a routine and settled with your classes that you drop off and pick up at the front door.

While our main goal remains in keeping our studio safe and healthy for everyone, we realize it is hard to drop off our littlest ones at the front door, for both parents and students alike.  Therefore, we have chosen to open our doors to parents with students in the preschool/petite classes.

CLASSES MISSED: Due to illness/personal vacations are still subject to charge, however, students are always welcome to schedule a makeup class providing there is an opening in a comparable age/level class. Parents should contact the office (info@caffferys.net) to schedule the make class. Make-up class must be rescheduled with 30 days from the date of the missed class.

SNOW CANCELATION POLICY: Classes will be cancelled at Caffery’s if we feel the driving conditions may put our staff and customers in a dangerous situation. If the Middletown schools are dismissed early, Caffery’s will also be closed. Evening class held after 3:30 pm may still be in session, depending on the conditions of the roads. Closing announcements will be posted on Channel 30. A closing notice will also be sent via email to the address provided on your registration form.

There are NO PRO-RATED FEES for missed classes or holiday breaks. There will be NO REFUNDS for classes missed. Students are always welcome to make up any class missed, due to snow cancellation, illness, and holiday vacations. A group make-up class will only be provided in the event we are forced to cancel two or more classes in the same session, due to inclement weather.

TRANSFER STUDENTS: We will honor new student’s 5th, 10th, 15th year awards from other schools. Please be sure to fill out your child’s Award To Be Received on their registration form. Transferring students should attend Summer Intense Program to guarantee proper class placement.

Dance Performance and Gymnastics demonstration: It is NOT Mandatory to participate in our June performance and or presentation of shows. If your child chooses not to participate they will not be treated any differently than any other student.
