KP Dance will cancel classes when KPDC chooses to close due to inclement weather. We will post on social media as well as send out a text message if classes are canceled. Please make sure your cell phone number is accurate and you are following us here.
SAFETY
I understand that KP Dance Center is not responsible for any injuries, sickness or accidents occurring in our studios or either of our parking lots. It is my responsibility to be careful pulling into and backing out of the lot, as well as exercising caution, as children are always walking to-and-from class.
Safety for your child is of our utmost concern.
All young dancers must be escorted to and from the building.
If a health condition exists which will prevent full participation, please notify KP Dance Center in writing as soon as possible.
No child will be allowed to leave the studio with anyone other than a parent unless written permission is given by the parent.
OBSERVATION
We encourage parents to watch the children on the viewing TVs located in the lobby, so as to not disturb the dancers in progress.

HOLIDANCE
KP Dance is proud to offer an inclusive and affordable opportunity for all dancers to participate in our annual Holidance performance.
This special event is held each year in early to mid-December at our Commack location.
Participation in Holidance requires only the purchase of a specially designed Holidance T-shirt, which also includes two (2) tickets to the event.
This is a fun and festive way for dancers to celebrate the season and share the holiday spirit with family and friends. We encourage all dancers to join us for this joyful annual tradition!
WITHDRAWING POLICIES
A Drop Form must be submitted at least 14 days before the next billing cycle. Click Here for Drop Form
Without proper notice, you are responsible for the next tuition payment.
No refunds or prorated amounts will be issued for withdrawals.
COSTUMES & RECITAL
Costumes are ordered in November. Orders must be paid via cash/check/charged to the studio account by the deadline.
At KP Dance, we provide suggested sizes for all costumes based on the manufacturer’s size ranges, as costumes are not custom-made to exact measurements. For example, a Child Medium typically fits a waist measurement between 25" and 27.5". Because costumes are not made to order, some variation in fit is expected, and minor alterations may be needed to achieve the perfect fit. We kindly ask that parents handle any necessary adjustments to ensure their dancer feels confident and comfortable on stage. Thank you for your understanding and support!
No exchanges/refunds on costumes.
Recital participation is optional, but most students take part.
We cannot guarantee siblings will perform in the same show.
• • Recital info (dates, tickets, rehearsal) will be posted on our Recital Page.
