Payment for each class, plus a $20 per- class costume deposit is due in full at registration. Late registrations will not be accepted. There will be no refunds. Class placement is at the discretion of the instructors.

Pre-registration forms are being sent via email or through the school. Pre-registration forms along with payment is due by September 11th.

PTSA Dance / Gymnastic Program Policy

bullet Full registration fee plus a $20 per class costume deposit is required at the time of registration. All 30 minute classes are $60 for the year. All 45 minute classes are $80 for the year. Late registrations will not be accepted. There will be no refunds. Costume balance bills will be distributed March. Payment in full is required in order for your child to receive their costume. Students who do not have a costume will NOT be allowed to perform in the recitals.
bullet The Galway PTSA supports the activities and endeavors of our students, however attendance to dance classes is a vital part of this program. Please make every effort to attend each class.
bullet If Galway School is cancelled or closes early due to bad weather, then dance/gymnastic class will also be cancelled. If classes have to be cancelled for any other reason, an announcement will be made over the school loud speaker. Pre-school children will be notified by phone.
bullet Parents/guardians and younger siblings are asked not to sit in the cafeteria during dance classes. This is distracting for the students and teacher. You will have an opportunity to view your child’s progress during practices in the auditorium.
bullet Students performing in the opening number will be required to attend all practices
bullet Picture dates will be scheduled for May. Even if you are not having individual pictures taken of your child, please make every effort to attend as there will be a class picture taken.
bullet Tickets for the recitals will go on sale on Prom Friday. Tickets are $1.00 each and will be sold on a first come/first serve basis.
bullet Recital video order forms will be made available in May. Please fill out order forms and send in to school with the video fee in an envelope marked “Recital Video” c/o Anne Valente. Video order forms will not be accepted by the instructors during class or during the dress rehearsal or recitals.
bullet Attendance to the dress rehearsal is required. Pizza and water sales will be available for your dinner convenience.
bullet Each student is required to bring one dozen cookies to share on both recital days.
bullet During the recital students will not be able to leave the back area, once they are signed in
bullet Access to the back rooms will limited to VOLUNTEERS only. This policy is in place for a number of reasons including, safety issues, the consistency of the performance and to eliminate the constant “up and down” disturbance to audience members. It is our vision that you will sign up to help on one day and watch the performance on the other day. Many of you have been volunteers for many years and are well “trained” with helping our students. However, if you feel that your child needs “your help” on both days, then you will need to sign up to volunteer both days and spend the entire time in the back. Sign up sheets will be made available in May
