STUDIO POLICIES
CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE
Words to consider:
Dance Avondale is a positive and safe learning environment. The faculty is committed to utilizing positive discipline tactics in the classroom. All students are required to behave with kindness and respect toward the instructors and other students in the classroom. Discriminatory language, disruptive and unsafe behavior of any kind by students or their families is strictly prohibited and will result in dismissal from the school.
​
Tuition:
Our tuition prices have increased from $11.00 per instructional hour to $13.00 per instructional hour and $15.00 for aerial silks classes. This increase reflects the costs of our beautiful new facility, professional teaching artists, and new classes. Dance Avondale charges per session, the fall session is historically the longest session and winter and spring sessions are a shorter length. Payment plans are always available for every dance family. Please reach out to Ms. Alia (danceavondalechicago@gmail.com) if your family would benefit from paying incrementally for classes at Dance Avondale.
