  • All Centerstage families are asked to set up an automatic monthly payment program using a credit or debit card. Tuition will be run on the 1st of the month for the entire Session.
  • Our classes are structured around Sessions. Fall Session runs September – December (4 monthly payments), Spring Session runs January – May (5 monthly payments), and Summer Session runs in 6-week sessions (2 session payments). We also have an annual registration fee.
  • Families are welcome to pay for the entire session, for which there is a discount, by cash, check, or credit. All monthly payment accounts must use a credit or debit card.
  • Students will automatically be enrolled in Fall to Spring classes unless we are informed otherwise. If a student plans on changing classes from Fall to Spring Session, please inform us by December 1st. If your student is not continuing for the Spring Session, please notify us by the 15th of December.
  • Tuition will only be pro-rated if a student starts class after the start of the session.
  • Students withdrawing early from the Session will not be offered a refund or credit for tuition.
  • On accounts where the credit card expires or declines, a late fee of $15 will be assessed after the 7th of the month. Accounts not paid by the 15th of the month will result in a student not being allowed to take class until the balance and fees are resolved. All accounts more than 30 days past due will be turned over to our collections agency.
  • All exceptions must be made in writing by the parent/guardian and approved by the owner in writing.
  • Absolutely no refunds! No financial credits for missed classes. No exceptions will be made. If a child misses a class, he/she is welcome to make up in another class. Please schedule make-up classes with our Office Manager.
  • Observation Week is strictly restricted to the first week of every month. Restricting observation time eliminates excess noise and allows the students to focus and learn more quickly, ensuring a high-quality class (especially with younger students). There are observation windows in all of the studios for observation week. Please keep the hallways clear and allow all parents a chance to observe. Please do not tap on the glass or enter the room for any reason. If you have an emergency please notify the front desk. Parents/friends are allowed to wait in the lobby area. The dressing rooms are for dancers only, please respect their privacy.
  • All studio news and information will be sent by email, posted on our website at centerstagestarz.com, and on our Facebook page. Please make sure info@zoeypoey.com is on your safe-sender list and not on your spam list. Please reference the website often for the most up-to-date news, upcoming dates, etc.
  • It is very important that students attend all classes for which they are registered. Consistency is an integral part of the learning process and a key to improvement and success. Please call the studio for any absence, for an extended period or for just one class.
  • Questions or concerns regarding any aspect of your child’s education/accounting at Centerstage Starz should be addressed by appointment with the appropriate staff member/ director. During teaching hours, the focus should be on students so please do not disrupt class time to address questions. Please call the studio during regular office hours or to arrange a meeting. Please address questions to the staff instead of another parent as we have the most up-to-date and accurate information to help you. We will only discuss issues that affect your child individually.
  • Students are expected to show respect for themselves, teachers, parents, and classmates. We understand that students form friendships and are encouraged to, however, we ask that excess talking and such be taken care of before or after class to limit distractions in class.
  • In case of staff illness/absence: We do not cancel classes. Another staff member will step in and substitute teach.
  • In case of inclement weather: Tune to radio or TV stations for Cherry Creek, Littleton, and Douglas County School closures or cancellation of any after-school closings. Centerstage Starz will be canceled on days that these districts are closed due to bad weather. If the studio must be closed due to circumstances beyond our control (power outages, inclement weather, etc.) there will be no refunds or make-ups scheduled.
  • Proper dance attire and dance shoes are required for all classes. Unprepared students will not be allowed to participate in class.
  • Ballet: Girls need to wear a solid color leotard and tights with solid tight-fitting shorts or ballet skirt over and pink ballet shoes. Boys need to wear sweats or dance pants with men’s black ballet shoes.
  • Jazz/Poms/Lyrical/Tap/Hip Hop, etc.: Dance students need to wear exercise clothing. Inappropriate clothing, including khakis, jeans, socks without shoes, and large baggy t-shirts, restrict movement and can cause an injury.
  • Pirouettes, foot undies, or bare feet for Lyrical (teacher preference).  Black jazz shoes are required for Poms and Jazz.  Black tap shoes, preferably tap oxfords, are required for the Tap class. Hip-hop sneakers need to be shoes that are not worn outside at any time. Street shoes are absolutely not allowed on the dance floors!
  • No gum or food during classes! We do not want anyone choking. Food will only be allowed in the front lobby. Under no circumstance will food be allowed in the dance rooms or locker rooms.
  • Always bring a water bottle to class. The studio does not have a water fountain. Bring it with you to your class.
  • Students and parents are responsible for cleaning up after themselves. Please make sure trash makes it into the trash cans. Please respect the property of Centerstage Starz including all common areas, floors, barres, tables, chairs, walls, etc.
  • Centerstage Starz is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Students must have their names on all personal property, shoes, bags, jackets, etc. Please do not bring valuables into the studio. All personal effects should be kept in a dressing room locker or a cubby.
  • Students are to arrive at class no more than 10 minutes before class starts and must be picked up promptly after class. Every student should arrive in enough time to change clothing, eat, use the restroom, etc. before class starts. Parents will be charged a $20.00 babysitting fee if a dancer is picked up more than 20 minutes after their class has ended. Call us if you are running late for any reason.
  • Centerstage Starz is not responsible for students and/or other children left unattended outside of regular class time including any older children who leave the premises for any reason.
  • We highly encourage parents to walk students in and out of the studio. No student should leave the studio without a parent. Students should not wait outside!
  • We do one large dance recital production and one theatre production in the spring. We will do a smaller performance at the studio of scenes, dances, and songs after Fall Session.
  • In lieu of a recital fee, we sell tickets to our Spring shows. Ticket prices will range from $25-$35 per ticket.
  • A costume fee will be charged for each dance class in which a student performs. Dancers will keep these costumes. Costumes will range from $70-$105 per class. Dancers will also need to purchase the appropriate tights for their costumes, which range from $15-25 if you order them through the studio. Parents will be responsible for selecting the costume size we will order. Parents are responsible for any necessary alterations.
  • We at Centerstage Starz are dedicated to keeping a positive and encouraging environment for all students, parents, and staff. We will not tolerate any negativity, gossip, or otherwise disrespectful behavior. Poor behavior by any parent or student may result in dismissal from our studio. Thank you for helping us continue to provide a fun and healthy place for your children to grow.
  • Centerstage Starz reserves the right to refuse any further service to a parent or dancer if poor or inappropriate behavior occurs. If termination occurs, any fees paid to Centerstage Starz will not be refunded.
