If the transaction does not go through by the 10th of the month your child will be suspended from classes until fees are brought up to date.

GENERAL RULES
- There is an annual registration fee, which registers the student for class. This fee secures your child’s spot in class for the dance season and is non-refundable (unless class is canceled due to insufficient class numbers).
-Dancers must wear appropriate dance clothes to class. A dress code ensures that the teacher will be able to
see a dancer’s mistake and properly correct body posture and technique. A dress code also teaches discipline.
- Students must be on time and properly dressed for class. (See Dance Attire/Shoes section below)
- The instructor reserves the right to remove a disruptive student from class in order to maintain a proper
class learning environment.
- No food other than water allowed on the dance floor.
DANCE ATTIRES/SHOES
-Hair needs to be tied back securely during class. No jewelry allowed.
-Everyone will need a black leotard for special performances and events.
Ages 3-5 can pick their choice of leotard outside of the black and purple.
-Ballet/Contemporary/Lyrical- Leotard (black or purple), skin tone tights and ballet shoes.

DANCE SHOES SHOULD BE WORN INSIDE ONLY. Wearing dance shoes outside will ruin the shoe and is harmful
to the dance floor. Please put your dancer’s name in their shoes as it’s easy to get them mixed up.
Performance and Competition Team must have Classic Strappy Back “Red” leotard for rehearsals- Purchased at the studio for $25.
PARENT VIEWING
Parents are not allowed in the studio during class time. We do not have viewing windows in the studio because they are a huge distraction to the dancers and this takes away from their concentration in class. Parent watch dates will be set by individual teachers and parents will be informed when these dates are available. Thank you for your cooperation.
ATTENDANCE
Good attendance is very important to each dancer’s success, as well as the progress of the class as a whole. Please make every effort to have your child in class each week. Calling post AND/OR text will be sent out in decent time if a class needs to be cancelled for unforeseen reasons and a make-up day will be scheduled. In the event of a dancer falling ill, please keep them home from class in order to reduce the chance of spreading the illness. All dancers are subject to a temperature check upon entering the studio. If a dancer is injured, they are encouraged to observe class. Please inform the studio at (404)202-0818 if your child is unable to attend class on their designated day.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
EO Productions will also be closed in the event that Cobb County implements any school cancellation or early release due to inclement weather unless otherwise noted.
IMPORTANT DATES
The studio will be closed on the following Holiday/Breaks: Labor Day, Thanksgiving Break, Christmas Break, MLK Day, and Cobb County Spring Break, 4th of July.
EMAIL COMMUNICATION
Parents must keep informed by reading their emails on a weekly basis in order to stay up to date with the many events/information here at Extraordinary Productions. If you are not receiving emails or your monthly statements, please let our front office staff know. Parents are expected to read the outdoor studio sign weekly when picking up their child to ensure they are up to date. If you change your phone number or email please be sure to let us know so we can update it in the system.
RECITAL
Each year EOP hosts an annual spring show, usually the 3rd weekend in May. This is where students get to showcase what they have learned throughout the year. There is a $150 recital fee PER CHILD.

Costumes are made to order; therefore, deposits are due by November 15th (unless otherwise noted) and fees are non-refundable. If your child is in multiple classes, there is an additional $80 per costume.Dress Rehearsal for the Spring Recital is mandatory. Please do not book vacations or other activities during the week of the recital. Dancers who miss the rehearsal will not be allowed to participate in the recital.
