In consideration of the dance lessons afforded me under this agreement by DNE School of Dance, Inc. and in recognition of the physically strenuous nature of dancing. I hereby knowingly freely, and voluntarily waive any right of cause of action of any kind whatsoever, arising as a result of such activity or illness from which liability may or could accrue to DNE School of Dance, Inc.

NO refunds on any Registration, Registration Fees, Costumes Deposits, Costume Balances, Festival Tickets, etc. A DNE credit will be issued to any registration withdrawal for classes with no expiration date. Our Season tuition is paid in nine installments via AUTO PAY with a MasterCard or VISA. Tuition is run the first of the month. No portion of this fee paid or outstanding is refunded in the event of absence, withdrawal or dismissal of a student from the school. I agree to pay all incidental expenses as incurred by this student, but are not limited to costumes, dance wear, performance tickets, optional trips, special events, etc. Tuition is due on the First of the Month. A $15.00 late fee will be applied to tuition received after the 10th of the month. I also agree to pay a $20.00 returned check fee to DNE for any returned checks. If there are two or more returned checks to DNE, the remainder of the your tuition payments for that season will be required to be paid by cash, cashier's check or MC/VISA. DNE has the right to ask your dancer to observe their class if tuition payments fall behind.
Thank you for the last 17 years. My time with you has been the greatest. You taught me so much, and I could never thank you enough. I am who I am because of all you have given, all you have taught me. While this may be the end of my chapter with you, I will always cherish it. Thank you for the greatest gift of all, the gift of dance!
