Policies
PLACEMENT
Each student at Art In Motion Dance Company is carefully placed into their own level of ability and instructed in an encouraging atmosphere. In each class, individual attention is given to the growth and potential of every student. Placement or advancement into each class level is based solely on the student’s own ability and progress. Except for beginning level classes, placement is not decided by the age of the student or the number of years he/she has studied dance. Placement in the intermediate level class is by instructor only. New students wishing to attend AIM Dance Company will be given recommendations on what level to start.
​
Withdrawal and Refunds
If a student is withdrawing from a class please let us know via in person, text, email, or phone call. No withdrawals will be accepted after April 1st. All the kids and teachers work so hard to get formation correct and it can make things difficult changing the routine at the very end of the season.
​
Extreme Weather or Unexpected Interruption of Classes
If the studio must cancel classes due to extreme weather conditions or events beyond our control such as a power outage, there will not be any refunds issued. Art in Motion Dance Company will close due to extreme weather when Noble/Norman Public Schools are closed. If you are unsure of a closing, please call AIM at (405) 760-6839 or check our Facebook page.
​

​
Dance Class Attendance and Tardiness
Art in Motion Dance Company reserves the right to have students who repeatedly come to class late, sit out of class. Good attendance is imperative in having a productive class and entering class late is a disruption to the entire class and instructor. If a student isn’t able to attend class for any reason please let us know ASAP. Text or phone calls are acceptable. If a student misses more than 7 classes through the second semester, the instructor reserves the right to evaluate if a student will be able to continue in the class after 7 absences in the second semester. School, sports, vacations, family emergency, and sickness are excused. From April to May we ask to avoid any absences unless they are unavoidable due to prior plans or school events.
​

Parents with children under the age of 6 must stay with the child until class ends and pick up the child inside the building when class is over. Parents may sit in the studio or in their vehicles. Students are not to be left at the studio for excessive time before or after class. Injuries: Parents, legal guardians of minor students or adult students waive the right to any legal action to any injury sustained on studio property resulting from normal dance activity or any other activity conducted before, during or after class time.
