2.  TUITION:  Sessions are paid monthly.  For example, 4 Weds=$48.00.  TUITION IS DUE THE FIRST WEDS. OF THE MONTH!  This amount must be paid even if you cannot make the first session, second session, etc.  Late tuition is subject to a $10.00 late fee.  Tuition is non-refundable.  If you miss a class, there are make-up classes available.  YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A CREDIT THE FOLLOWING MONTH FOR CLASSES THAT ARE MISSED.  In this case, an Afet "bonus" class may substitute for a make-up class.  If you are unable to attend the first class in a session, you may mail your check. 

3.      RETURNED CHECK POLICY:  Students are offered the convenience of paying tuition by check.  If a check is returned due to insufficient funds, there will be a $35.00 service charge added to your account. 

4.      ATTENDANCE:  If a student is unable to attend a class he/she may take a makeup class. Please consult Afet if this occurs and she will tell you which class you may attend in order to make up for the one(s) you may have missed. You should call Afet if you know that for certain you will be unable to attend a class. Classes are small and the studio time is costly. Therefore, out of respect for the teacher, please call!

 5.   COPYRIGHT:  Any choreography given out during class time is the sole property of Afet and is not to be used unless you have the expressed written permission of Afet.

 6.   VISITORS:  Visitors are welcome. However, on a regular basis visitors make some people in the class uncomfortable.  Visitors must watch behind the glass window in the studio lobby.

 7.    DRESS CODE: Leotards and tights are required. I cannot see what the body is doing if big shirts, and skirts etc. cover it. The gauze skirts are OK, however, you need to wear tights so that I can see the legwork. The skirt must be tucked so that I may see what the legs are doing!  Half tops OK.  NO JEANS. NO SHORTS unless with footless tights.  After, the first two weeks of class you are required to purchase a hip scarf and a veil for class.  As class progresses you will be asked to purchase finger cymbals (zills), tambourines, canes, tan sandelsoles, etc.

 8.    REGISTRATION FEE: A one-time yearly registration fee is due annually every fall.  You must fill out a registration form and pay $35.00 to A New Star Performing Arts Academy ($50.00/Family Fee) to cover insurance liability.

Afet reserves the right to modify  these policies from time to time as may be appropriate with or without notice .
