Studio Withdrawal: To withdrawal a dancer from a class or enrollment altogether, an email request must be sent to info@utahdanceartists.com by the 25th of the month in order for tuition to not be charged the following month. Tuition refunds will not be given after tuition is paid. Families may withdraw from classes or from the studio at any time during the dance year. *yet should be mindful of non-refundable tuition and fees.

Late Pick-up Fee: If a dancer is not picked up within 15 minutes of their last class, a $15 late pick up fee will be assessed followed by an additional $5 for every 5 minutes after. Since UDA’s lobby will remain closed during Utah’s Orange and Yellow Risk Levels, it will be critical to uphold this policy to maintain the safety of our dancers.

Privacy and Confidentiality: Each account must list one parent or legal guardian over the age of 18 as the financial responsible party and primary contact for all student communication. The studio will not release payment history, attendance records or other student information to a third party without permission from the responsible party.
