    Policies for Performances and Competitions

    • The dance school organizes two formal theatre performances each school year. One is the Shiny Dancers International Dance Championship at the end of January, and the other one is the Year-end Recital in mid-June. Also, we occasionally participate in additional performances hosted by other organizations. For example, we participate in Lunar New Year celebrations in January and February and the Heritage Festival in early August.
    • Except for Shiny Dancers and the year-end recital, opportunities for additional performances are limited and it is not guaranteed that every class can participate in such performances.
    • When arranging additional performances, we will first select groups whose class times are same or close (5 hours before or after the performance considering the conditions such as doing make up, driving, etc.) to the performance. Secondly, we will try to balance opportunities for different groups (unless there are special stage needs or a certain type of classes must be arranged). We will try to avoid having the same group participate in too many additional performances within a short time.
    • It is mandatory for students to participate in a performance if the performance time (except for Shiny Dancers and the year-end recital) is the same or close (5 hours before or after the performance) to the students’ normal dance class time. Students who do not participate in the performance will not be eligible for make up classes, credited, or refunds.
    • If the performance time (except for Shiny Dancers and year-end recital) is different from the normal class time (e.g. not on the class day), we will talk to parents before confirming our participation. If more than two-thirds of the total number of students in the class want to perform, we will make the necessary arrangements.
    • If the performance time (except for Shiny Dancers and year-end recital) is not the same or close to the students' regular class time, we will not charge extra fees for leading the team to participate in the performance. If the performance (except Shiny Dancers and year-end performances) coincides with or is similar to the normal class time, the normal class will be canceled and no make-up classes, credits or refunds will be made.

    Policies for the Competitive Level / Pre-competitive Level / Dance Troupe (competitive class) Students Attending Competitions.

    • In addition to the above performances and competitions, the competitive level / pre-competitive level / dance troupe (competitive class) students will participate in more dance competitions, such as Evolve, Dance Power, View, Fever, etc.
    • It is compulsory forthe competitive level / pre-competitive level / dance troupe (competitive class) students to participate in competitions. Competition times are usually announced about two weeks in advance.
    • Students in the competitive level / pre-competitive level / dance troupe (competitive class) who participate in competitions are required to pay the registration fees required by the competition.
    • If the competition time (except for Shiny Dancers and Year-end Recital) is not the same day of the students' regular class time, we will not charge extra fees for leading the team to participate in the competitions. If the competitions (except Shiny Dancers and year-end performances) coincides in the same day of the normal class time, the normal class will be canceled and no make-up classes, credits or refunds will be made.

    Policies for Year-end exams and Parents Watching Classes

    • The dance school will have an end-of-year examination and parent watching class in April of each school year. The class times for exam classes may differ from regular class times and lengths.
