Age and school grade are helpful parameters for deciding levels, but each child and family situation is unique. If there is an issue with class times and placement for your child, please email info@theneighborhoodballet.com to determine the best solution for your child and your family.

Consistent attendance is essential for progress and class continuity. Students are expected to attend regularly in order to grow, build confidence, and move through our levels of study.

If your child is participating in the recital, we strongly encourage full attendance in the weeks leading up to the performance.

Please note:  Missed classes are non-refundable, although makeup classes are available within 30 days of the missed class, based on class availability. Please email info@theneighborhoodballet.com to schedule a makeup class. 

100% tuition is due upon camp registration. If withdrawing from camp, 50% may be credited to your account for future use, and the remaining 50% is non-refundable and non-transferable. No credit is available for withdrawals within two weeks of the camp start date. Any applicable credits expire one year after being issued and are not transferable.

Neighborhood Ballet generally follows the Atlanta Public Schools (APS) calendar. For specific holidays and studio closures, please refer to the calendar located in the footer of our website.

In the event of inclement weather, the studio typically closes when APS does. However, final decisions will be communicated directly via email and/or text. Please check for updates before coming to class if weather conditions are questionable. Makeup classes will not be offered for cancellations due to inclement weather or holidays.

Neighborhood Ballet reserves the right to cancel classes due to low enrollment. Enrolled families will be contacted to discuss alternatives.

Refunds are not given for missed/cancelled classes or for withdrawals. We require parents/guardians give a seven (7) day written notice prior to the first of the month to discontinue classes. All tuition paid is non-refundable.

Students are expected to uphold Neighborhood Ballet's Dress Code at all times. Please find our dress code at the footer of our website.

Students may arrive no more than 10 minutes before class and should be on time, in uniform, and ready to dance. They must remain in the lobby under supervision until the teacher invites them into the studio. To minimize disruptions, please take your child to the restroom before class.

After class, students must be picked up promptly and should wait in the lobby until a parent or guardian arrives. Our staff prioritizes dancer safety during check-in and dismissal, addressing other matters once students are safely in class or with their caregiver.

We ask that parents keep their dancers at home if they are actively sick, running a fever, and/or vomiting. Please ensure your child is symptom free (including fever-free) for at least 24 hours before returning to the studio. All dancers and staff members must wash their hands before entering the studio.

By participating at NB, you acknowledge that exposure to contagious illnesses, including COVID-19, is a risk. While NB follows safety guidelines, we cannot guarantee a virus-free environment.

In addition to Spring Recital 2026, we will have a Holiday Show in December 2025. Participation is optional and dancers will have to Opt-IN to participate in the show. The Holiday Show Fee is $119 and will be auto-drafted on October 23rd, 2025, only for those who have OPTED-IN to participate. The official Opt-In form will be circulated at the beginning of Season 25/26.

Placement depends on age/grade, ability, dance experience, and class size.

Lost items will be held for two weeks. Items left unclaimed after that time will be donated. We highly recommend that all clothing/shoes have your dancer’s name written on them so that we may return the items promptly.

Missed classes are non-refundable. However, makeup classes are available and must be completed within 30 days of the missed class. The makeup class should be comparable to the one missed, is subject to availability, and cannot be transferred or used as credit for future classes. To schedule, email info@theneighborhoodballet.com with your preferred class date and time.

Makeup classes will not be offered for cancellations due to inclement weather or holidays. When applicable, credits are non-transferable and expire one year after being issued.

Our team will assist with boutique and customer service needs after class check-in and dismissal. To maintain a calm lobby, please keep voices low and supervise children. Each reception area offers books and quiet activities. We love welcoming siblings—on energetic days, nearby green spaces like Oakland Cemetery are great options for play.

Performing is an integral part of a student’s education and teaches the process of learning how to rehearse and prepare repertoire. Dancers registering for the 2025-2026 Season (except for those in Toddler and Me) will participate in the 2026 Spring Recital. Dancers in our Early Childhood Division will be subject to a Recital Fee of $149 and dancers in our Elementary, Junior Performing Company, and Teen Divisions will be subject to a Recital Fee of $164 scheduled to auto-draft on January 15th, 2026. For dancers participating in multiple class performances, there will be an additional costume fee: $69 for Early Childhood classes and $79 for Elementary, Junior Performing Company and Teen classes, which will also be auto-drafted on January 15th, 2026. To opt out of the 2026 Spring Recital and cancel the Recital Fee, please notify Neighborhood Ballet no later than January 10th, 2026 via the Recital Opt-Out Form which can be found on the Recital webpage, linked in our footer. Paid recital fees are non-refundable. Dancers with an outstanding balance will not receive their costumes until their account balance has been paid. Dancers will not be allowed to participate in the recital if their balance is not paid in full.

Our Student Behavior and Conduct Policy can be reviewed HERE.
