A dancer
learns best in an atmosphere that is free from other diversions. A standard dress code is an important
part of enabling dancers to maintain their focus on their work, without distraction or competition. We require students to abide by our dress code. Students who fail to do
so will be reminded of its requirements. If a student continues to violate the dress code, the student
may be asked to leave class and return in proper attire.

Personal conduct: Classical
ballet demands concentration, discipline, and attention to detail. It is a demanding art with many side benefits for the serious
and not-so-serious student alike. Dancers at the Academy are expected to work to the best of their individual
ability. Students must arrive on time and prepared for class. Students must show respect to instructors
and other students.
Health issues: Strong
dancers need healthy bones and muscles. Dancers should eat a healthy and well-balanced diet and are discouraged
from dieting. Poor nutrition leads to stress fractures and other injuries.
Tuition
is non-refundable. We’re sorry if this causes any inconvenience. However, our
staffing is determined by student demand. Additionally, if a class is full, we may turn away other students. A
refund for private lessons will be given with 24-hour notice of cancellation. For your convenience, we accept Visa and MasterCard in addition to checks. Please,
no cash. Tuition is due on the first day of the month on which ARCB is open. Tuition
paid after the 7th of the month is subject to a late fee and time-price differential. Full details about
late fees are set forth on enrollment forms.
Performances: The Academy may prohibit a dancer from participating, and may
remove a dancer from a performance, with or without notice, if tuition, costume costs, fees, or other expenses are
delinquent.
Dismissal:
Students learn best in an atmosphere of support, concentration, and focus. Students who are disruptive
in class may be asked to leave class or, if a problem persists, to leave the Academy permanently. Students
who are disrespectful of instructors, other students, or the Academy property may be asked to leave the Academy. Students
may also be dismissed if parents or other family members disrupt the Academy.
Nondiscrimination: The Academy of Russian Classical
Ballet is proud to welcome male and female students of all ages, races, religions, and ethnic backgrounds. However, we
reserve the right to assign dancers to roles that are age, gender, and ability appropriate.
