Roll Over Registration
When you sign up your dancer for the first session of the school year you will be auto enrolled in all subsequent sessions for your convenience, no need to re-enroll for each session! If you decide to not continue after your first session, no worries! We can remove your enrollment from the next session by following the steps below.
Performances & Events
Picture Day:
We will have a professional photographer come take individuals & group photos of the dancers during the spring session at Shining Stars Dance Academy. This will happen outside of normal class hours the weekend of May 2nd & 3rd.
Show & Tell:
We will have (3) 15 minute show & tells throughout our dance year. This will be in the art room during the last 15 minutes of class. Please refer to the ASCS Dance Calendar for these dates. A reminder email will be sent out the week prior.
Year-end Showcase:
For the end of year showcase dancers will perform (1) routine in each style learned in full costume. More details regarding the year-end showcase will be emailed to all parents once the information has been finalized.
​
Dance Class Withdrawal ASCS
Registration in SSDA classes secures your dancer’s place for the entire session. Withdrawing from a class means your dancer will not continue into the next session, and all tuition and fees for the current session will still be due in full.
We understand that schedules and needs can change, and we’re happy to help explore class changes within the same session if space allows. However, withdrawing does not release you from your financial commitment for the remainder of the session.
Important Details:
All fees — including registration, tuition, recital fees, costumes, and merchandise — are non-refundable and non-transferable.
If you withdraw after costume orders have been placed (typically in February for ASCS), costume fees cannot be refunded. We will notify you when your dancer’s costume is ready for pickup.
To formally withdraw, you must complete and submit the withdrawal form: https://pci.jotform.com/252258923805159. Simply missing class does not count as a withdrawal.
We appreciate your understanding of our session commitment policy, which allows us to plan classes, order materials, and maintain the high-quality experience our dancers deserve.
