GENERAL POLICIES

Communications

  • To reach us anytime: phone or text 401-764-4757, email info@fusionworksdance.com, or send a Discord message (Honors and FYE).
  • To reach us just before or during class: text 401-764-4757 or send a Discord message (Honors and 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.  
  • Honors and 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 Honors and Ensemble programs. An invite link is sent upon registration.

Class Observations, Food, and Property

  • Parents and visitors are welcome to wait in our lobby during class and observe students through our observation window. 
  • Complimentary coffee and tea are available in the lobby.
  • For any food brought to the school:
    • No sugary drinks or junk food. 
    • No gum. 
    • ONLY WATER with a sealed lid is allowed in the studio.
    • We are a peanut free facility.
  • Honors and FYE - Students are given a brief break during the evening to have a snack.
  • 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. An official photographer and videographer will document FusionFest; the fee for those photos and videos is included in the recital 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 (Honors and 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.
