WELCOME TO DIGBY DANCE STUDIO!
A year at Digby Dance Studio is much like a year at school; with classes beginning in mid-September and running to early June. The end of the year is celebrated with an annual Recital, held at Digby Regional High School the first weekend in June. There is a two week break over Christmas, and a one week March Break. No classes are held on Holidays, but classes ARE held on school in-service days.
Class Cancellation Policy
If school is cancelled due to the weather then all dance classes are automatically cancelled for the day. This also applies to early dismissals due to current or impending weather. But what if the weather worsens after school? In the event that dance classes are cancelled after school it will be posted on AVR radio, on the AVR and Magic949 websites as well as.digby-dance-studio.com and Facebook. All cancellations will also be posted on our phone line at 245-6828. Make-up classes will be held if two classes are cancelled in a row, or if two classes are cancelled in the same month. Make-up classes may be combined with another class, or held on a Saturday. Please understand that some of our classes start as early as 2:45pm, so the decision to cancel for the day is usually made by 1pm. The decision to cancel can be a tricky one, especially with our unpredictable weather. Generally, if there are other cancellations in our area then I will cancel as well. If in doubt please call ahead. Please never travel on the roads if you don’t feel safe.
Students will be required to purchase costumes for the recital. In order to help alleviate the cost of these costumes, we have an annual Dance Marathon fundraiser. Each participant in this fundraiser will benefit by having a percentage of their total costume fees reduced, depending on the total amount of money raised. Costumes average around $65 in price. Prizes are awarded to the top fundraisers!
Many notices will be sent home throughout the year to keep students and parents informed of what’s happening at the studio. Many of these notices may be sent via email. Please make sure to provide a current, working email address. For those who do not have email, hardcopies of these notices will be handed out in class.
Returning students are required to fill out the registration form IN FULL each year, and indicate any changes in address, phone number, or email. It is important to have contact information up to date in case of emergency. Please make a note if any student has allergies or conditions ( i.e. asthma) and if any medications are taken. Returning students paying with post-dated cheques will not be required to register in person on the scheduled registration day. Cheques and registration form may be sent by mail as early as July 1st.
