Twirl Academy will Return THIS FALL!
Twirl Academy is where learning and dancing are BFF's!
|
Watch your child blossom at our Twirl Academy Classes as they make adorable friendships and become immersed in dance and learning! They’ll come home talking about all of the amazing things they did that day; especially when they learn to add and subtract using plies and releves or made life size bubbles to pop with their arabesque in their science lesson! It will leave them with memories they’ll cherish forever. These specialized academy classes are developed for kids ages 3-6 who are ready to learn Pre-K and Kindergarten concepts and are a perfect way to spend the season learning and dancing with others!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, SAFETY PROTOCOLS AND MORE!
At Bella Ballerina our aim is always to keep our dancers safe and happy. During classes at Twirl Academy, you can come to expect the following measures and protocols in place to ensure a safe environment for attending students. As always, if your dancer is sick, please do not attend class. If a member of your family is sick, please stay home as well.
- OUTDOOR CHECK IN/DROP OFF. When you arrive, do not line up more than 5 minutes before class start times. After their first day, parents will give a hug and kiss at the door.
- PICK UP PROTOCOL. Your dancer will be assigned a number on the first day and you will be given a pick up pass! At pick up time each day, parents will form a line outside and show their number through the door. Each student will be handed off to their parent one at a time in a quick and efficient manner!
- CLEANLINESS / SANITIZATION / DISINFECTING PROTOCOL - We will be practicing frequent handwashing, disinfecting and sanitizing of the studio, as well as keeping as many supplies as possible assigned to specific children instead of sharing.
- WHEN STUDENTS ARRIVE, THEY WILL BEGIN BY WASHING THEIR HANDS, and having free play time. We will start the day by making sure everyone's hands are clean!
- COME DRESSED AND READY TO GO! This will allow us to keep common spaces such as the bathroom minimally used. Dancers must be potty trained and able to take care of their own bathroom needs.
- BRING YOUR OWN WATER BOTTLE AND SNACK. Every dancer should come with their own LABELED water bottle and a SNACK in a LABELED disposable bag. We are a NUT FREE ZONE. Please no peanuts/tree nuts. One of our teachers has a severe allergy!
- Mask Wearing is OPTIONAL for Students but highly encouraged. Our Staff is fully vaccinated.
- TWIRL ACADEMY LEARNING ACTIVITIES Twirl Academy does not claim to be an accredited preschool, private school or daycare. Your dance and learn sessions are not a substitution for a school environment, but rather a supplement for learning and socialization. Children will learn age appropriate dance curriculum as well as various academic activities according to their grade level.
- PAYMENT POLICIES RELATED TO TWIRL ACADEMY We realize that there is no substitute for the in-person experience of Twirl Academy classes. For this reason, should we be mandated to close by the state for any reason, we will automatically convert your Twirl Academy membership to a monthly UNLIMITED Class membership with our online portal at a rate of $80/month. There will be no refunds issued for payments already made including registration fees, however future payments will be collected at the reduced rate. Should the studio be mandated to close for a limited amount of time (days instead of an unforseeable amount of time), class will be held online via Zoom and no payment adjustments will be made. If you are a Dance All Year Student in addition to being enrolled in Twirl Academy, your tuition will be reduced to only your Dance All Year payment. No refunds. Refunds/Credits will not be given for missed classes due to any reason unless listed above, as we have saved your dancers spot in class and purchased supplies for them for each day.
- No Refunds Twirl Academy is broken into 12 week sessions payable in full or in three monthly payments. Your student is registered and committed for all 12 weeks. All Holiday breaks are factored into the 12 weeks. There are no refunds/tuition credits for vacation, illness, injury, or change of school. If your child is unable to finish the Session, tuition for the remainder of the Session will still be due, as we have reserved your dancers spot for 12 weeks. If you need to drop due to a move more than 30 miles away from your current studio location, 30 day notice is required.
- Inclement Weather We Do NOT follow the Fairfax County school closure schedule. Instead we will contact you directly via email should Twirl Academy be cancelled. You can also find if classes are cancelled on the homepage of our website. Days missed due to inclement weather may be made up via make up days and/or online class offerings. There are no refunds for classes missed due to inclement weather.
- Military and other discounts cannot be applied to Twirl Academy Classes
