Coupé Theatre Studio

2026-2027 Policies, Registration Forms, and General Information 

Please complete all sections.

REGISTRATION: You may register your child for any classes they have been recommended for. If you are new to the studio, your child(ren) will be given a recommendation by studio staff for the classes they should register for. Please register early so you are not closed out of a class you’d like to attend. All registration is done on a first-come, first-served basis. Your child’s registration is not considered complete until all forms and waivers have been signed with proof of age (if needed) and your double tuition installment payment is paid.

PAYMENTS:

• TEN PAYMENT INSTALLMENT PLAN: This plan breaks the annual tuition into 10 installments. The first two installments are due at registration, with the additional eight installments due by the 10th of September 2026 through April 2027.
• NEW: A family administration fee of $25 will be required at registration.
• See the payment chart below for prices. NOTE: PAID INSTALLMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. 

PLEASE NOTE: The double installment due at registration is NON-REFUNDABLE and CANNOT be credited to your family account in the case of dropped classes. Tuition installments are due on the first of each month September through April. Coupé offers a grace period through the 10th of each month. A $25.00 late fee will be applied if tuition payment is not received by the 10th of the month. Returned Checks will be charged $35.00 to cover all fees. Any student whose tuition is in arrears WILL NOT BE ADMITTED to class. All tuition, costume fees, and late fees must be paid in full by May 1st, 2026. Payments can either be made via the family portal with a credit card, over the phone, or with a credit card kept on with our accounting system. We also accept checks or money orders which can be mailed or dropped in our lock box located by the front door at Coupé.

CHANGE OF SCHEDULE: If a student chooses to discontinue classes for any reason, the studio must receive written notification before the next billing cycle (first week of the month). Parents are responsible for ALL tuition payments until a withdrawal/drop notice is received in writing at the desk.

MISSED CLASSES: It is the student’s/parent’s responsibility to attend all classes they are registered for. No refunds or adjustments will be given for any missed classes for any reason including prolonged absence. Make-up classes are given as a courtesy by the studio. A maximum of 3 make-up classes may be scheduled for each registered class. We ask that all make-ups be scheduled at the office after the missed class and all make-ups must be completed before Parent Observation Week (usually the end of January).

NOTE: Make-up classes are non-transferable • Tuition must be up to date to schedule a make-up • Make-ups will only be scheduled once for each missed class • Unattended make-up classes are forfeited • Make-up classes can only be scheduled after a class has been missed.

SCHEDULING AND CANCELLATIONS: Classes are subject to minimum enrollment and may be combined or canceled during the year. Classes canceled by the studio for any reason (illness, weather, state emergency, etc.) will be made up and scheduled by the studio, either in the form of in-person or virtual classes. There are No Refunds or credits for canceled classes.

DRESS CODE: For a list of our current dress code, please visit our website: Coupedance.com. Our dress code is required for all students, as it promotes a professional and focused environment for learning.

PRODUCTION/COSTUME FEE: A production/costume fee (price TBD) will be charged per student per class for each of the classes performing in the end-of-the-year recital. These fees will be billed on February 1st 2027.

DANCE SHOES: All students and visitors are asked to wear proper footwear in the dance studios to protect the floors. NO dance shoes should be worn outside. Stiletto-heeled shoes are not permitted in the studios.

STUDENT CONDUCT: Students who are disrespectful to Coupé teachers, employees, visitors, or other students will have their parents notified and will be asked to leave the building. Any unkind remarks, photographs, videos, or posts that may be considered bullying, either on social media platforms, over the internet, or verbally, will not be tolerated. Students who cannot follow this code of conduct will be suspended from class and tuition forfeited.

PARENT CONDUCT: We expect all Coupé parents and family members to act appropriately at all times. Any parent/family member that is acting in an inappropriate way towards a staff member, other parent, or student will be asked to leave and their child(ren) will be withdrawn from the school.

LOST & FOUND: There are lost and found bins located in both the male and female locker rooms. Items left at the studio will be placed in these bins. Jewelry and valuables are kept at the desk. Coupé is not responsible for any items lost or stolen and we recommend you keep valuables at home or with you during class. Lockers are not available until further notice.

PARKING: Our parking lot is very busy and we kindly ask that you please drive slowly. Please park in the spaces provided, and walk your child to the front door where they will be directed to class. If you are dropping off a student, please pull past the front of the building and into a parking lane (without blocking other traffic), as stopping directly outside the front door is dangerous and creates unsafe conditions. Cars that are left unattended or idling in front of the building or a non-designated spot will be asked to move. We ask that you please take special care when picking up and dropping off, for the safety of all our students.

GENERAL: No food or drink other than water is allowed in the studios. Students, parents, and visitors must comply with all state mandates while in the studios, which may include mask-wearing, social distancing, etc. Cell phones and other electronic devices should be switched off and kept in a dance bag during class time. Please note that the recording of any class work or choreography is strictly prohibited unless you have a teacher’s prior permission.
