Private Lessons Terms
Due to the number of No Call No Shows that I receive, I have to protect myself and my business.
Each time someone does not show up to their lesson as scheduled, I am still charged $15 for renting out the studio for one hour. It is irresponsible, disrespectful, unprofessional, and unacceptable to schedule an appointment and not show up. I know not every person is like this, and it is unfortunate that those of you who do stay true to your commitments will have to go through this, I apologize.
Therefore I am instilling a mandatory meeting prior to your first lesson. This will be a consultation to discuss why you want to learn ballet/dance, what your goals are, how often you would like to take class, and if you are ready for the discipline required to endure such a rigorous routine. After assessing your seriousness to this commitment and I have determined that you will be dedicated, I will collect a non-refundable $15 fee for your first class. If you do not show up, you lose the $15.
Once you have taken your first lesson and if you wish to continue classes, you will pay the $15 in advance (totalling $50). After your first lesson you are required to give me 3 days notice to cancel your lesson otherwise your $15 rental fee will not be returned.
If you have any questions or concerns about this please send me an email at either of the addresses below.

Thank You,

Choreography... and hello!
Hi!
Just signed up last night...between keeping up with everything else, finally had a little downtime to get on here and update. You have to check out my YouTube page with almost every kind of dance {alot of lyrical though}. http://www/youtube.com/tempsdecuisse
Well, so long for now......
Here's a favourite lyrical of mine!!!
Phew, it's been awhile.
It sure has been a while since I've written on here but things have been completely busy, what with practicing for Juilliard, starting college again, keeping up with bills, and trying to have a little fun here and there.
