No credits, refunds, or make-ups are given for missed classes due to personal holidays, travel, or absence. However, we offer Perk Day once per month on Saturdays (12:00–1:00 PM) for missed classes due to illness. You must sign up in advance. Perk Day is not available during the summer.
All classes end 5 minutes early to ensure smooth transitions between classes and coaches. This helps maintain a timely and organized flow throughout the day.
Studio Closures due to Weather: In case of inclement weather, SunDance typically follows District 38 closures. However, the Studio may reopen later in the day if conditions improve. Always check your email, website, Facebook, Instagram, GroupMe, or call the Studio for updates. A Perk Day invitation will be offered for any weather-related closures.
Parent Communication via GroupMe:
SunDance uses GroupMe, a free group messaging app, to keep families informed about weather updates, closures, and upcoming events.
You can download the GroupMe app from the App Store, Play Store, or use the web version on a desktop.
