Summer Intensive Refunds: In the event of illness or other unforeseen circumstances, any changes to and/or cancellation of your dancer’s registration must be done in writing no later than three weeks prior to the start of the intensive in order to receive a full refund less an administration fee of $50. Refunds requested with less than 3 weeks before the first day of the intensive will be subject to a $150 administration fee.

STUDIO CLOSING/INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
In the event of inclement weather, a decision will be made by 1:00 p.m. regarding the status on classes for that evening or 8am for morning classes. Please do the following:
- Check our website at guelphyouthdance.ca
- Check your e-mail – we will send out a studio-wide message
- Keep in mind that we will not always match school cancellations. Many times the weather clears up later in the day, so we may still have classes even though school was closed or buses were cancelled (or vice versa).
- Call the studio if you have questions: 519-803-8829.
Please note that your families safety is of the utmost importance to us and we trust that you will make the decision that works best for your family should the school remain open.
