Classes run consecutively throughout the season, with the exception of our scheduled Christmas break and designated studio closures. - Holiday Closures
The studio will be closed in observance of select holidays, including but not limited to National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Thanksgiving, Remembrance Day, and Easter Sunday. Tuition will not be prorated or discounted for these scheduled closures; however, students are welcome to attend another suitable class within our schedule as a make-up. - Registration & Withdrawal
Registration is for the full dance season (September through May). If you wish to withdraw from classes, written notice must be submitted by email. Tuition will continue to be charged until written notification has been received and processed. - Tuition & Payments
All tuition and fees are non-refundable except in cases of medical withdrawal supported by a physician’s note.
Fees are due according to the studio payment schedule. Students with outstanding balances may not be permitted to continue classes or participate in studio events until their account has been brought into good standing. - Illness & Unforeseen Closures
Families acknowledge that participation in dance classes involves exposure to common illnesses. Fusion Dance Studio cannot be held legally or financially responsible for illnesses that may be contracted while attending the studio.

To secure costumes for the year-end recital, a non-refundable costume deposit of $60.00 plus tax per costume is due in December. This deposit will be applied toward the final costume balance.
Failure to submit the required deposit by the stated deadline may result in the student being unable to participate in the year-end recital. - Monthly Payments
Tuition payments will be processed monthly from September through March. April and May tuition, along with any remaining costume balances, will be processed together in April. - Weather Closures
Classes cancelled due to inclement weather will not be rescheduled. Students are encouraged to attend another suitable class during the same week as a make-up.

Throughout the season, Fusion Dance Studio may photograph or record classes, rehearsals, performances, competitions, and studio events for promotional and educational purposes. Images and videos may be used on the studio’s website, social media platforms, print materials, advertisements, and other marketing or promotional publications.
By registering at Fusion Dance Studio, parents and guardians grant permission for their dancer to appear in these photographs or recordings unless written notice is provided to the studio requesting that their child’s image not be used.
Fusion Dance Studio will never identify dancers by personal information beyond their first name (where applicable) and will make every effort to ensure all images and recordings are used respectfully and appropriately. - Lobby & Classroom Policy
To help create a safe, organized, and distraction-free learning environment, all dancers are expected to leave their bags, coats, cell phones, food, and personal belongings in the lobby before entering the classroom.The only items permitted in the studio are:
- Dance shoes required for class
- A labelled water bottle
Cell phones must remain on silent and stored in dancers’ bags for the duration of class unless permission has been given by the instructor for educational purposes or in the event of an emergency.
Parents, guardians, and spectators are asked to respect the learning environment by remaining in designated lobby areas unless invited into the classroom by a staff member. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in helping us maintain a focused and positive atmosphere for all dancers.
- Dress Code
Dancers are expected to arrive at every class dressed in the appropriate attire for their discipline and with hair secured according to class requirements.
Proper dance attire allows instructors to safely assess technique, alignment, and body placement while maintaining a professional learning environment.
Students who arrive without the required attire or appropriate footwear may be asked to observe class if their participation could compromise safety or instruction.
Jewelry should be kept to a minimum, and all outdoor footwear must be removed before entering the dance studios.
Competitive dancers are expected to maintain a polished and professional appearance at all classes, rehearsals, competitions, and studio events.
