Registration Information 2006 - 2007

Sessions: General School Information and Policies

Classes at ARCC Ballet have "open enrollment" and most classes are offered year round.
When you begin classes at ARCC, the cost of the session will be prorated with the number of classes left in the current session.
If you would like to continue enrollment in a class for the next session, for payment for the next session will be due at the start of the next session.
We do accept early payment for sessions and this is the only way to secure a spot in the class.
Classes will be "closed" after capacity is filled with regisistered students. Capacity is considered 12-14 children per class and varies per class.
Registration online is a form of communicating your interest in the class, but does not secure a place in the class unless payment is made over the phone or in person.
Class lists are filled on a first come basis, session to session.
Payment for more than one session at a time is allowed and will secure a space in the class.
We like to accommodate schedules and we often try to open new classes, however, classes can be cancelled for the next scheduled session if enrollment falls is 5 children or less.
Please check the schedule for changes. We update this schedule regularly.
Sessions are normally 5- 8 weeks long, and are offered consecutively throughout the year, with the exception of holidays.
One trial class is allowed - payment at the beginning of class is required and it is between $12 and $15, depending on the class.
Outside programs are at various schools and enrollment in the classes at schools is for children attending the respective school.
Please call 773-384-2722 to inform ARCC of an absence. You can also leave a message regarding the absence from the class.
2 make up classes are allowed per session. We can help you schedule a make up class.
Please be courteous and arrive on time to your classes. Students that are more than 5 minutes late will not be admitted to the class.
Please be sure to come in the studio to pick up your child for safety.
When bringing additional guests to observe you or your child's class, please note that there is limited space in the lobby and standing in the lobby may be necessary.
Class payments will refunded (minus a $10 processing fee) as long as you cancel prior to 5 business days (M- F) of the scheduled class. If it is within 5 days of the scheduled class, no class payments amounts are refunded and we do not allow payment as a credit towards another class.
Class changes within a current session are permitted by approval only if it is within 5 business days (M- F) of the scheduled class. If it is within 5 days of the scheduled class, no class changes are allowed and we do not allow class changes towards another class.
