To reach us anytime: phone or text 401-764-4757, email [email protected], or send a Discord* message (FYE).
To reach us just before or during class: text 401-764-4757 or send a Discord* message (FYE) to let the teacher know if something unexpected arises and the student will be late or to relay important information to the student (eg: Auntie is doing pick up instead or mom will be a few minutes late for pick up or there is a family emergency). The teacher will receive the message and relay the information to the student in a discreet manner.
*Discord - Fusionworks Youth Ensembe (FYE) parents/caregivers join our Discord server. (Discord is a voice, video, and text chat platform where communities can interact online with each other.) In addition to general school announcements, Discord is used to share resources that support the FYE program. An invite link is sent upon registration.

Report any damaged Fusionworks Dance Center property immediately to a staff member.
Do not send valuables to the studio with your students. Fusionworks Dance Center is not responsible for any lost or stolen property.
Documentation
Fusionworks staff will photo and video students throughout the year to share experiences, track progress, and support the learning process. We invite you to like and share anything we post on Facebook and Instagram.
An official photographer and videographer will document FusionFest; the fee for those photos and videos is included in the performance fee.
Students, Parents, and Visitors are not permitted to photo or video any classes, rehearsals, or performances. Special permission may be given in certain circumstances to take a private photo or video for your personal use to enjoy with family and friends. However, those private photos and videos are expressly prohibited from being posted, published, or broadcast on websites, social media, or other public platforms.
Class Cancellations
Inclement Weather
If the studio is closed, we will send a text or post on Discord (FYE) by 12pm.
Classes will not be rescheduled and refunds cannot be offered.
While we typically follow Lincoln School District for weather-related class cancellations, the decision to cancel or hold classes is ultimately at our discretion. Do not automatically assume the studio is closed. If there is no closure text or message on Discord, then the studio is open.
Fusionworks Dance Center reserves the right to modify the studio schedule during the school year based on enrollment or other factors. All students will be given the option of an alternative class, if available.
