School Policies
-
All tuition payments must be via your PCB Online Portal Account.
​
-
We recommend all families enable auto-pay for tuition payments. All payments are due by the end of the pay period, listed in the Tuition Schedule above. Please mark your calendar. A late fee of $5.00 applies to all late payments.
-
NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR MISSED CLASSES, unless in case of injury. Missed classes can only be made up WITHIN the same pay period. If you cannot attend another session of the missed class, you may choose a different class offering that fits your schedule.
-
Important information about performances, registration, and more is sent via email. Please ensure your PCB Online Portal is ‘opted-in’ to receive emails and reflects your most updated email address and phone number. Dancers’ email addresses may be added as well.
-
Parents and students will be notified well in advance about performance dates, tickets, costume requirements, etc. To present shows professionally and keep costs affordable, parent participation through time or funds helps make your child’s experience a positive one.
ATTENDANCE POLICY​
​
For closed or company class students, attendance is mandatory for all classes listed on the respective schedule. Senior Apprentice and Senior Company dancers are required to attend a minimum of 3 ballet classes per week from the schedule, plus the Saturday Jazz/Hip Hop/Rehearsal block.
​
Attendance in closed classes is key to the dancer's technical and artistic growth. Additionally, it is important for everyone to attend all rehearsals. Dancers who fall short of this minimum may have their casting opportunities limited, and in ongoing cases with company members, faculty will reevaluate the student's placement in the Company.
​
Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
