TUITION: Tuition is always due 10 days prior to the new session so that we can assure space availability to our current enrolled students. After that we will allow waiting list students to enroll in classes that are currently filled. If payment is received after the due date a $20.00 late fee must be included NO EXCEPTIONS. Students will not be allowed in class until all financial obligations are taken care of. If any check is returned due to insufficient funds a charge of $25.00 will be added.

SIGNING CHILDREN IN AND OUT: Bally Total Fitness Clubs require that a parent walk the child in and proceed to the Nursery (each club has one). You will sign your child's name in the POP STARZ sign-in book. The parent that signs the student in, MUST sign the student out. The instructor will be there five minutes before each scheduled start time of class. At the end of each class the instructor will bring the children back to the nursery and there is where you will sign out your child. No child will be allowed to leave the nursery without a parent signing them out. One parent can sign in more than his or her child, say in the case of a carpool, but that parent must also be the one to sign them out. If you plan on having someone else sign your child out please notify our office. Please be on time for we are not responsible for your child after class. Each class will have a class parent who stays with the instructor during class and will take any children to the bathroom, etc., if needed therefore not allowing any child to walk around unattended during class time. Besides the class parent no parent will be allowed to stay in the room to watch. We feel that children learn better when there is less distractions. If you are interested in being a class parent please let us know when you register or contact our office.

ABSENCES AND TARDIES: Absences will not be credited, tardiness will not be tolerated as it disrupts the rest of the students in the class.

CLOTHING: Baggy, non-restrictive clothing as well as closed, comfortable sneakers are required. No jazz shoes, open toe shoes or platform tennis shoes of any kind. Knee pads are required. Jewelry or any other personal items should not be worn or brought into the studio as Pop Starz is not responsible for any lost or stolen article.

NO FOOD: Please do not bring any snacks to class and only plastic water bottles will be allowed. No glass or cans may be brought into the studios.

NO VIDEO: Video taping is not permitted. If your child is having difficulty remembering any of the choreography, please call our office and we can set up a private with the instructor at the rate of $40/hr.

PROPER BEHAVIOR: Being disruptive, fighting, chewing gum, being tardy, etc., will result in a first time warning to the child. Second time, a warning will be issued to the parent. Third time and the student runs the risk of being removed from the class environment.

PHILOSOPHY: Regarding our L'il Pop Starz™, Pop Starz™ I, Pop Starz™ II, and Performance level classes, remember, Pop Starz'™ philosophy is positive reinforcement and positive self-esteem. Our instructor's encourage technique as well as having fun. We do not believe in yelling at our students. We ask of you as parents to remember some students dance better than others and that's OK. Every child's level of learning is unique. We guarantee you your child is learning and having fun at their level, so please do not compare your child's dancing to another in class, just rest assured that they are learning proper technique and having fun while doing it at their own pace.
