Refunds

  • Tuition refunds are not granted. Extreme circumstances are considered on a case by case basis.
  • Please contact the school by phone (703) 527-8900 or email for further inquiry.

Weather closure policy

  • In the case of inclement weather, Adagio Ballet and Dance School posts regular updates as to whether we are open on the Announcement section of our website.
  • We will usually post updates 2 hours before your class start time. If there is no update posted, assume that classes are running as usual.
  • Generally, we do everything possible to remain open while also considering the safety of all our students, families, and staff. Sometimes as weather conditions change, we need to make more than one update per day.
  • Important note: We will be unable to change our voicemail and answer the phone if we are closed. The most efficient way to know if we will be holding classes is by checking the Announcement section on our website.

What we consider when making a decision:

  • Road conditions
  • Our parking lot conditions
  • School/government closures

* For more than 3 days of Inclement Weather Closure Days per year, we will add an additional week with make-up opportunities at the end of the School Year.

  • Each student should follow the dress code for their class level.
  • Students are encouraged to have their snack and visit the bathroom before class; and to enter the classroom focused and prepared to dance – this is how they will benefit the most from their dance classes.
  • Absolutely no gum is allowed in the school. Snacks and drinks are allowed in the Waiting Area but everyone is responsible for taking care of their trash.
  • Parents are welcome to observe class from the observation window on every studio door. Otherwise, parents are invited inside the classroom during Observation Week (typically held during the last week of each session).
  • Please help us maintain a school atmosphere at Adagio Ballet by reminding your Students and their siblings to be quiet and respectful of school rules and property.
  • If you plan on purchasing dance clothing or shoes, please arrive early enough so that there is enough time to buy and put on apparel before class time.
  • Please pick-up your Student on time. Adagio Ballet staff is not responsible for unsupervised children.
  • If you have any questions or concerns on any level, please consult the Front Desk in person, or email /call the Office directly at  (703) 527-8900.
