Rights and Reservations
Front & Center reserves the right to alter or change class dates and times based upon scheduling needs. Low enrollment in a class may result in cancellation and/or consolidation with another class. Front & Center reserves the right to place students in age and level appropriate classes at their discretion, based on the individual student’s maximum potential.
Refunds and Changes to Your Schedule
Please take note of our refund policy, printed on the back of your registration agreement and which you are required to sign prior to registration. Registration fees are non-refundable and tuition can not be pro-rated. If you choose to withdraw from a class within the first week of the semester or the first applicable week of class, a full refund minus the registration fee will be given.& When registering for the full year, whether two half or one full year of classes, no refund will be given after the second week of the first semester has ended.
Missed and Make-Up Group Classes
Private lessons are sold in 14 week packages. Private lessons must be cancelled or rescheduled at least 24 hours in advance of the lesson, or the full amount for the lesson will be charged and no make-up lesson will be scheduled. You are responsible for rescheduling this cancelled lesson. Students are only permitted to reschedule 2 of their 14 lessons per session and no refunds/credits will be given for any cancelled lessons over and above the 2. Should your teacher be unavailable for a scheduled lesson, the lesson may be rescheduled or may continue as planned with another of our highly qualified professional teachers on staff. Should we need to reschedule the lesson due to teacher scheduling conflicts, you will be notified as soon as possible and we will make three attempts to reschedule. Following that, the lesson will be charged and no credits/refunds will be issued. No missed lessons may be carried into the following semester or the summer.
Private Lessons
Front & Center offers private voice, dance, acting, and instrumental music lessons on a first-come first-served basis, pending studio and teacher availability. Private lessons are purchased in 14 week blocks on a particular day and time each week and must be used within the particular session purchased. Private lessons are non transferable between family members within a session or from one session to another. Lessons will be confirmed in our calendar and with the teacher when payment is received. Please read the Missed and Make-Up-Private Lessons Policy when signing up for any private lessons.

Substitute Teacher Policy
Front & Center is supportive of teachers with professional performing careers and understands that this may result in the need for instructor substitutions from time to time. Although we strive for continuity, we believe that professional performing experience brings a unique perspective to teaching, a perspective that can only serve to benefit our students. As a result, should a regular teacher be unable to attend a lesson, another of our highly qualified staff members will substitute on a short or long-term basis, encouraging versatility, flexibility and new learning experiences.
Dress Code
Students are required to wear appropriate attire for each class as outlined in our Welcome Packet.

Performances at Front & Center
While our main focus throughout the year is on training and technique, we offer many opportunities for our students to take the stage and put their skills to the test. There are performance opportunities for students at every age and level. Rehearsal and time commitments are important for ensuring a successful production. See the Welcome Packet for more details.

Child Safety
Front & Center will make every effort to ensure the safety of your children. To help in this regard, if you are unable to pick up your children after a class and need to have someone else do so, please notify us ahead of time. Please be punctual in picking up your children, especially at the end of the day. We advise that your students should wait to be picked up in the reception area, not outdoors.
Parent Observation
Parents and grandparents are invited to observe once each fall and spring. The monitors will stay on at all times and parents will be invited into the room for the last half hour of each class.
Bring-Your-Friend's Week
We encourage you to bring your friends during these weeks held once each Fall and Spring. If your friend signs up for a class you can take advantage of our Refer-A-Friend Discount!

At Front & Center, we encourage parent involvement and welcome your participation during the course of the year.
Please let us know where your interests and skills lie. We would be particularly appreciative if you could assist us during our year-end show.
