All About Acting - Policies - Dress code, Drugs, Payment, Punctuality

Payment policies:
A $100.00 deposit is required to register for all classes. The remaining balance of your tuition is due on the first day of class. We accept cash, or check, or money order made out to All About Acting. Private students pay tuition at the beginning of each class.

Dress Code:
Students are encouraged to dress casual. Clothes should be clean, comfortable and flexible. We encourage creative fashion and the right to express yourself, however, clothing that is too revealing or worn out and dirty will not be permitted in class. If you show up to All About Acting dressed inappropriately, you will be requested to leave.

Attendance:
Because All About Acting is a small school, classes are created around the individuals that attend them. If you miss class, or are late, it is disrespectful to the other students who are there depending on you to do your part. Please read and understand the following:

Classes will start on time. You will have a 5 minute grace period to get to class. Once the door is closed, you may not enter class. This will count as a “no call, no show” and you will forfeit your class.
Private students must cancel their class at least 24 hours in advance; otherwise you will forfeit your class.
Regular students who buy block classes must register for a specific class and attend only that class for the entire track.(5 weeks). If you have a conflict and cannot attend class, you must call to cancel two (2) hours prior to the class, or it will be called a “no call, no show”, and you will forfeit your class.
Members are now required to register for classes at the beginning of each track. If you have a conflict and cannot attend class you must call to cancel two (2) hours prior to the class. Otherwise, it is a “no call, no show” and you will forfeit your class, and a hold will be placed on your membership until you schedule an appointment with me (Mia) to discuss your status.

Punctuality:
All students are required to be on time for class. Latecomers disrupt the flow of the class and delay students and coaches. Students arriving more than 5 minutes late may be dismissed.

Guests:
Guests will not be allowed in class with the exception of showcases.

Parents:
Parents may be distracting to their children and to other students, we therefore request that parents do not stay while their child is in class. If you feel that you must be present while your child is in class, please speak to me first.

Acceptance Policy: All About Acting does not discriminate against age, sex, creed, color, religion, sexual preference, or people with disabilities.

Some courses may require an audition for admittance. Children under Seven(7)will be accepted by audition only.

Student discipline:
Our child actors will learn studio etiquette and coaches rarely deal with disciplinary issues. In the case of unruly behavior the following action will take place.

The parents will be informed of the behavior, and asked to communicate with their child regarding their actions.
The parents will be asked to attend class with their child to observe and offer assistance to their child.
If child is continually disruptive to the class she/he may be asked to return at a later time. Ultimate discretion is left up to the coaches at all times.

Drugs and Alcohol:
At no time will any student be allowed to attend class under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If it is suspected that a student is under the influence they will be immediately dismissed from All About Acting and will forfeit any paid tuition. Re-admittance to All About Acting will be dependant on the coaches evaluation.
