STUDIO POLICIES

School of Breaking is dedicated to keeping our environment safe, positive and supportive for all students, parents and staff. We will not tolerate any hate, negativity, gossip or otherwise disrespectful behavior. Poor behavior by any parent or student may result in dismissal from our studio. Thank you for being kind and helping us towards providing a fun, creative, safe and healthy space for personal growth.

School of Breaking reserves the right to refuse any further service to a student or parent if poor or inappropriate behavior occurs. If membership cancellation occurs as a result of disruptive behavior, any fees paid to School of Breaking will not be refunded.

Membership Requirements

  • Memberships: 
    • Annual Membership –  Signing up for an Annual Membership means you are committing yourself to a signed contract for the Annual Season (see Membership Seasons below). Signing up for a membership means you are obligated to pay the full cost of tuition whether you are paying in full or splitting up your tuition into monthly payments.
    • Membership Seasons – Annual Season (11-months, August – June)
  • Cancellation Policy:
    Annual Members have a 2-week window at the beginning of their season enrollment to cancel their membership with no cancellation fee. If you choose to cancel your membership after the 2-week window due to reasons other than serious injury, disease, or death in the family, you will be charged a $60 cancellation fee per member.

Tuition Payments

  • If paying monthly, we require you to have an active credit card on file. To do this, every member paying monthly tuition is required to keep an active credit card on file. A credit card is not required if your tuition is paid in full upon sign-up.
  • Monthly payments are processed automatically on the 1st of each month. This authorization is only valid for the duration of the season in which you are enrolled.

Refunds

  • We do not provide refunds unless a student needs to suddenly cancel due to reasons concerning serious injury, disease, or death in the family. No financial credit is given for missed classes. No exceptions are made. If a student misses a class, he/she is welcome to make up the missed class by taking an alternative class within the same age and difficulty level. Or in the case of Drop-In students, you can reschedule your class for a future date.

Cancellation Policy

  • Memberships follow an 11-month season that runs from August – June. By enrolling, members are committing themselves (or their child) for the entirety of the season. Members have a 2-week window at the beginning of their enrollment to cancel their membership with no cancellation fee. If you choose to cancel your membership after the 2-week window due to reasons other than serious injury, disease, or death in the family, you will be charged a $60 cancellation fee per member.

Attendance

  • It is very important to attend every class. Consistency is an essential part of the learning process and key to improving your abilities and achieving success.
  • Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your class starts. Every student should arrive with enough time before class starts to change clothing, eat or use the restroom.
  • All students must be picked up promptly after class.

Make-Up Policy for Missed Classes

  • A missed class can be made up by taking any alternative class within the same age and skill level.
  • Missed classes must be made-up before the end of the season in which you are enrolled.
  • Missed classes that are not made up by the end of the season cannot be used as credit into the next season.
  • We do not transfer credits for missed classes into the next season or to another student.
  • In case of staff illness/absence: Class will still continue and another certified instructor will substitute. In a rare case when we do have to cancel a class, that class can be made-up per our make-up policy.
