We will attend two competitions throughout the season (one for Junior Troupe) that will be determined based on team members’ availability. There may be too many conflicts to ensure that every performer will be able to perform at every competition, but will we do our best to select competitions that work for the most performers

Conflicts for competitions are due by October 1st! No conflicts will be accepted past this date. If a student has an unavoidable conflict arise, they can be pulled from a competition, but refunds will not be given under any circumstances.

We do not have control over when the competitions choose to schedule our routines over the course of the competition weekend, therefore we cannot accept partial-weekend conflicts. Students must be available for the entire weekend (including Friday evenings) of a competition in order to be registered for that competition.

Recurring weekly lessons are billed monthly as regular tuition. Drop-ins must be paid at the time of enrollment via the Parent Portal. If a student wishes to pay with cash or check for a drop-in, payment is due prior to the start of the lesson. Drop-in lessons that are not paid by lesson time will be cancelled and the balance will remain on the students' account.

Competition schedules are released 7-10 days prior to the competition weekend.

We cannot control when the competitions choose to schedule our routines and no refunds will be given if a student cannot make it to their scheduled performance time.

Please join our Facebook group “TEPA Dance Team and MT Troupe Information” for team members prior to your first competition so you can get detailed information throughout each competition weekend. We will post updates on the check-in and dressing room locations, as well as scheduling and award updates throughout the weekend.

If a student has an excused absence, they will be allowed up to 2 makeup lessons per semester (must work with instructor’s availability). Cancellations the day of the lesson will not be made up and will still be charged the regular lesson fee. Should the instructor need to cancel a lesson, two lessons will be made up each semester. Credits will be issued for any additional cancelled lessons.

Drop-ins that are cancelled by the student the day of the lesson will still be charged and will not be rescheduled as a makeup.

Students enrolled in private lessons on Saturdays will automatically be charged for four less weeks to accommodate competition weekends when lessons will not be held.

Students will be a given a ‘ready time’ when they will need to be present with hair, costumes, and makeup ready.

Students who arrive after their ready time may not be able to compete, and no refunds will be given. Competition schedules can run early, and we are expected to be early as well if that is the case.
