Absences must be reported via email to the official business email address. Participants who accumulate an excessive number of absences, as determined by their instructor, during choreography and competition periods will be required to schedule make-up sessions at the athlete's expense. These sessions will be conducted individually with their respective instructor. Cheerleaders with three or more unexcused absences between September and December may be dismissed from the team for the initial competition. It is imperative that both students and parents acknowledge the commitment involved in enrolling in a class, which may necessitate the prioritization of attendance over social engagements. Individuals are strongly encouraged to thoroughly review their schedules prior to registration.

 

Competition Fees

Dance and Cheer competition fees will be invoiced one month prior to the due date to provide sufficient notice and ensure registration in events with limited availability. Late fees for Cheerleading and Dance are $50 per dancer. Cheer Competition local fees are non-refundable as of November 1st, and Dance Competition fees are non-refundable as of December 1st.

​


 

Pay in Full Rule 1

Tuition discounts provided for full season payments are contingent upon completion of the entire season. Withdrawal from Xtreme prior to the season's conclusion will result in the forfeiture of the discount, and regular monthly tuition rates will be applied retroactively for the duration of the athlete's participation included but not limited to the proper notice given.

 

Pay in Full Rule 2

If a percentage discount is offered for full payment by a specified date, all payments must be received by that date. Failure to remit full payment by the deadline will result in the tuition being recalculated according to the subsequent applicable discount rate.

All costumes utilized by Xtreme Cheer and Dance are either purchased or custom-made. Participants are advised to adhere to designated "costume sizing" and "try-on" periods. Failure to attend scheduled sessions will result in costumes being sized and/or ordered in absentia. A non-refundable costume deposit of $100 per competitive class is required by September 13th. A late fee of $10 per group will be applied to accounts for payments received after this date. The remaining costume balance is due by January 15th. Failure to remit payment by this deadline will result in the assessment of a late charge by the seamstress. It is not possible to provide a predetermined estimate for late charges on costumes, as fees vary depending upon suppliers and seamstresses. Costume fees are non-refundable after October 1st of the respective studio year.

​

​​

As detailed in the Tuition section, Xtreme maintains a procedure for tuition refunds. All other fees, including registration and insurance are non-refundable. Should a participant withdraw from Xtreme prior to competition, recourse regarding competition fees must be sought directly through the respective competition organizers.

 

 

 

 

Careful consideration is given to the appropriate level placement of each student. Recognizing the individuality of students with varied talents, skills, and abilities, progression rates will differ. The paramount objective is to ensure a comfortable and non-inhibited learning environment. This studio operates on a progressive model, with all classes presenting challenges. It is important to note that consistent class names do not signify a lack of growth or new learning opportunities. Class names serve as identifiers for administrative and scheduling efficiency. Due to the extensive range of classes offered, it is not feasible to alter class names annually.

It is advised to refrain from undue parental pressure that may exceed a child's capacity or interest in dance or cheer. Placing a child in a class based solely on its perceived difficulty or advancement may lead to frustration and self-doubt, potentially resulting in them discontinuing their involvement, thus missing out on the enjoyment inherent in dance/cheer.

The instructor's assessment is of primary importance and must be respected. While it is understandable for parents to perceive their child as excelling, the instructor provides guidance with trained and experienced insight. When addressing a child's concerns, it is crucial to understand their need for empathy. It should be acknowledged that instructors harbor no ill will nor favoritism. The overarching aim is to facilitate each student's potential.

At Xtreme Cheer and Dance, we prioritize a welcoming, community-oriented environment with proficient instructors dedicated to fostering individual development. Instructors undertake judicious decision-making regarding student selection for specific choreographic roles. We advocate for collaborative efforts between parents and instructors to cultivate an understanding that not all students can be selected for every opportunity, while assuring alternative prospects. Our aspiration is to cultivate a supportive and respectful atmosphere amongst students, wherein they find mutual motivation and learning opportunities.

Personal belongings may be stored in designated cubbies. Students are required to label all clothing and footwear.

Cellular phones, tablet computers, and other electronic devices must be deposited in the designated studio basket upon entry to class. Xtreme is not liable for lost electronic equipment.
