Terms and Conditions
 

All students must wear proper dance attire with long hair up for dance classes. Students in street clothing and loose hair will be asked to sit out of the class. Hillman Dance Studio will be changing to specific colored attire based on age group for the 2025- 2026 dance season. I will not be supplying cups for the 2025/2026 season and beyond, so make sure your dancer has a water bottle.

A student must be the age of their level by December 31st of that year in order to go into that level. I may put them in a higher age level class, if they are beyond their years. They need to start in their own level and then my staff and I can decide on what to do after the first 4-6 weeks at the beginning of the season. 
 

Dance fees are due before the last day of the month, late payment will result in additional fees.

The monthly fee is not affected by severe weather events (acts of god), holidays, vacations, bus cancellations, injury or flu/cold sickness. If a class is canceled by Ms. Giny or her staff for sickness or vehicle breakdown that class will be made up.  Refunds are not available. Parents please put in your reminders to pay all dance fees each month by the 30th. This way I'm not having to constantly remind you. Please also check the website or put down the correct amount for fees as some didn't pay the right amount this past season. 
 

Classes may be canceled for severe weather events at Ms. Giny’s discretion on bus cancelation days. Hillman Dance Studio’s policy of always canceling classes due to school bus cancelations is no longer as relevant as it once was as busses are often canceled for non-severe weather and events in Manitoba.
 

Recital and competition costumes are non-refundable and must be paid in advance of ordering. Hillman Dance Studio staff will not be measuring children for sizing.

 Any alterations or repairs required are the sole responsibility of the parents or guardians. If any costume is too small it may be returned if the larger size is available at the sole cost of the parent or guardian. When I order costumes, some may not fit as everybody is different and they make the costumes from one pattern for each size.
 

If your child signs up to do competitions they are required to attend all competitions unless they require medical attention due to sickness. Students not attending all competitions may not be eligible to attend any competitions the following year.
 

Event change rooms are as is for the venue, this includes picture day.

If special considerations are required it is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to supply.

​

*New studio rule* If a student misses more than 3 classes per month they will not be attending the festivals that season. That will also be put towards if they are doing a solo or duet that season and any future solos or duets. I need full commitment from everyone, unless I've been notified they are ill or away on a holiday. 

​

Don't expect dance pictures to be ready once picture day has happened for up to 6 months. Picture day TBA once I confirm with Kate. 

​

All problems and issues are to be discussed with Ms. Giny or an adult teacher. Complaints given to student helpers or adolescent staff are not acceptable and will not be tolerated.

Phone calls, texts, and social media messages may not be returned until the next business day during hours of operation, 12pm – 8pm Monday to Friday
