Intensity Dance Team (IDT) is a studio that does not tolerate any “mean girl” behavior. All members of IDT are a team and will support one another without any gossip or drama. While the IDT Instructors and Directors cannot control outside actions, behavior while participating in IDT activities; classes, performances, competitions will be respectful, positive and encouraging. Any dancer that has an issue with another dancer should bring it to the attention of their instructor who will relay those concerns to the studio owner, Karissa. She will make sure that every situation is handled with kindness and firm compliance with the team rules. Karissa wants this experience to be positive for everyone. She cannot force the girls to be best friends, but she will expect them to treat one another as respected teammates.
Intensity Dance Team Dancer Code of Conduct
In order to provide a safe space for all dancers, each dancer must follow this code of conduct to ensure clean language, clean spaces, and the optimal environment for individual progress and achievement.
- Serve as a role model to younger dancers at all times, including appropriate language and behavior. NO foul language or discussion of inappropriate topics.
- Proper manners should be used at all times to address teachers and classmates. Respect for other team members at all times is a must. No social media bashing.
- No use of alcohol, illegal drugs or smoking in the studio or during any team activities, performances or competitions.
- Complete Adherence to anti-bullying policy– NO “mean girl” behavior.
- Respectful use of studio equipment and cleanliness of all areas of studio (Main Studio, Back Room, hallway and bathroom). Every dancer will clean up after themselves.
- Disrespecting a faculty member or another student or being discourteous to a fellow student or faculty member is grounds for disciplinary action that may result in probation, suspension or being asked to leave the studio permanently. Efforts will be made by the Studio Director to resolve situations in a way in which all parties are able to participate in Intensity Dance Team classes and activities in a positive manner. In the event that you are asked to not return to the studio there will be no reimbursement for any classes, competitions, costumes or any other fees collected by the studio.
Tuition is based upon the number of classes scheduled by the director each dance season. The goal is to keep studio time manageable, with most teams meeting once a week. Attendance greatly affects the confidence level of each dancer. Your dancer’s absence does not affect your tuition bill. If a class is being held, tuition is due. If a student misses a class for any reason, that student will receive a credit towards a 60 minute class of their choice with permission from the office. Please make arrangements for make-up classes with the studio manager. Monthly fees are posted the 27th of each month, with tuition due the first of each month.
If check is returned for NSF, Cash or Credit Card must be used to pay tuition and fees.
Tuition is due the first day of the month and delinquent on the 7th of the month.
A $15.00 late fee will be charged on all late payments received after the 10th of the month, a $25.00 late fee will be charged after the 20th of the month, and a $35.00 late fee after the 28th of the month. Please contact the office for extenuating circumstances. We want to do everything that we can to help your dancers stay in their classes.
A $15.00 fee will be charged to your IDT account if your credit card on file is declined.
If the tuition and fees payment has not been received in full by the end of the month, and parent is not responsive to payment reminders, students will not be allowed to participate in class.
Tuition must be paid each month. After two months without full payment, additional late fees will accrue and the dancer can be removed from classes until account is brought current. Family emergencies may constitute an exception for a payment plan. Please contact “office” for details.
Tuition fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
All tuition or fees delinquent for more than eight weeks will be automatically taken to small claims court. Participant/Parent will pay all court costs and fees, as well as missed tuition and fees.
All tuition and fees must be paid, and all accounts brought current (no account balance) before a student can register for private lessons, solo, duo or trio choreography.
All tuition and fees must be paid and IDT account paid up to date in order to compete with the team.
Team Fees: Competition Fees ($30.00 per dancer per competition) ,Costume Fees ($70.00/dancer per team) May Fees include recital fees($30.00/family) and an end of year production fee ($25.00/family). Further details to be found in the IDT Parent Handbook through the Parent Portal.
Private lessons, choreography of solo, duo or trio must be requested through the IDT Heber or Vineyard Managers, or General Studio Manager (Tami Molen) for approval and scheduling.
We highly encourage parents or guardians to walk students in and out of the studio. No student should leave the studio without a parent or guardian. Students should not wait outside! We are very sensitive to our student’s safety. Instructors are not responsible for students before or after their class time inside of the studio.
Anytime that a class is canceled due to weather or illness of the teacher, a make-up class will be scheduled as soon as possible and announced to the classes affected.
Please contact the office with any concerns.
If a dancer drops a 60 minute non-team class after registration, the parent must notify the office in writing prior to withdrawal. Written notification to withdraw must be given by 5:00 p.m.on the 25th of the month prior to the month you will be withdrawing in order to not be charged full tuition for the following month. This policy is in place for billing and payroll purposes.
Intensity Dance Team is a team which depends upon the commitment of the dancers to succeed. When a dancer signs up for a competition or performance team, that dancer is expected to fulfill their commitment to the team for the entire dance season (September- May). Once the teams are filled, dancers wanting to join the team are turned away. If a dancer chooses to quit once the dance season has begun, it puts a strain on Directors who must change formations and choreography, and the team who also has to make changes. It also has prevented another dancer from joining the team. IDT understands that things may come up that will necessitate a change in team membership. If that situation arises, please contact the office so that tuition fees, competition fees and costume fees can be resolved. If the dancer leaves the team prior to the completion of the competition season (May 28th), there will be an early team withdrawal fee ($500.00/dancer per competition team, $150.00/dancer per performance team) assessed because costumes are ordered and routines are choreographed. This fee is set to compensate the director and the team for the inconvenience of changing choreography, extra class time for the team to learn the new formations and counts, and to encourage all dancers to honor their commitment to their team. Please contact the office with any family issues such as moving, injury, or emergencies that may occur. We always want to work with every family to ensure that dancers are happy and commitments are being fulfilled with dedication.
If a dancer does not attend a competition after a commitment has been made and the registration fee has been paid, there will be a $100.00 withdrawal fee added to the reimbursement of the competition registration fee to compensate for changes that will have to be made by the team director and the team due to that dancer’s absence.
A dancer who quits on her team after a competition commitment has been made and the entry fee has been paid, will need to pay the early team withdrawal fee ($500.00/dancer) in addition to the $50.00 competition withdrawal fee. That dancer will also need to reimburse IDT for applicable costume and competition entry fees. Family emergencies or injuries may qualify for a waiver of these fees. The goal is to encourage all dancers to fulfill commitments to compete with their team and to complete the season so that they can experience the feeling of accomplishment and pride in their success. Please contact the office with any issues.
A dancer who registers for a summer dance camp or summer program at Intensity Dance Team (IDT) commits to attend the specific camp or program for which he or she is registered. Because there are a limited amount of spots in each class, the registration is closed once the limit for that camp/program is reached. If any dancer cancels his/her commitment within 10 days or less of the camp/program’s start date, the full tuition is still due even if the dancer cannot attend the camp or program. When the cancellation is 10 days or less before the camp/program beginning, it does not allow sufficient time to contact another dancer on the waiting list who may be able to make arrangements to attend the camp/program. Registration opens 4-6 weeks ahead of each camp/program. Family emergencies and injuries may qualify for a waiver of this fee. This policy is in place to allow as many dancers as possible to attend the great IDT Summer Camps and Summer Programs. Please contact the office with any issues.
