SPOTLIGHT SCHOLARSHIPS.
We are proud to present the Stark Scholarship each season to one hard working dancer. This scholarship is made possible by Spotlight alumnii, Dr. Kasey Stark Lundin, who’s generosity makes this award possible at the start of each season. The recipient receives a season of FREE tuition. Limited need-based Spotlight scholarships are also available through the studio as well. Contact us for more information.
VACATIONS & SNOW DAYS.
You will be given a detailed Spotlight calendar at the beginning of the season with important dates and holiday breaks. In cases of extreme weather, we will make a decision to close the studio based on the road conditions during our class times. Classes will be held if schools close due to extreme cold. We will always update the studio's voicemail, website and Facebook/Instagram page in case of a snow day or emergency class cancellation. All dancers/parents will need to join their classes’ BAND! The BAND is the best way we can keep up communication throughout the season and also post videos to help the dancers throughout the season. Make sure to check any of these options for updated studio information.
ABSENCES.
If a student must miss a class, they can take a make up class with an age equivalent class if one is available. Remember, lesson fees are not refundable or transferable, so please try to make it to class and/or a makeup classes to get the most out of the dance season.
*If a student feels that more personal help is needed, contact your instructor about a private lesson at an added cost.

Costumes will be selected, and costume fees will be collected with your November payment. A non-refundable recital fee will be collected with your January payment.
