Season Policies

I (the enrolling Parent/Guardian/Other) represent to Bloom that I have the full and complete legal authority to register the child, that Bloom is entitled to rely on such representation in good faith, and that the registrant will indemnify, defend, and hold Bloom harmless from any claims or expenses in the event the registrant had no such authority.

As the legal parent or guardian, I release and hold harmless Bloom Dance Studio, its owners and operators from any and all liability, claims, demands, and causes of action whatsoever, arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, sickness, including death, that may be sustained by the participant and/or the undersigned, while in or upon the premises or any premises under the control and supervision of Bloom Dance Studio, its owners and operators or in route to or from any of said premises.

I understand and release to Bloom Dance Studio the irrevocable and unrestricted right to use, reproduce, and publish photographs and/or videos of my child for editorial, trade, advertising, or any other purpose or manner and medium. I hereby release Bloom Dance Studio and its owner, administrative staff and instructors from any and all claims, actions, and liability relating to its use of said photographs. Any exception/objection must be submitted via email to support@danceatbloom.com prior to the start of each season so we can proactively prevent photos/videos from being taken of your child.

Bloom is deeply committed to protecting the privacy of dancers and their families. To reinforce this commitment, account holders have exclusive control over their contact lists, with the sole authority to add or remove contacts. We prioritize the protection of all dancer information and will never share personal details with third parties without the explicit consent of the primary account holder, typically a parent or legal guardian. Additionally, Bloom staff members will not make any changes to accounts, including contact lists or dancer information, without the approval of the primary account holder. You can trust your dancers' personal information is kept private and secure, and we will always communicate any updates to this policy transparently. If you have questions or concerns about this policy, please reach out to us at support@danceatbloom.com.

Dress code will be enforced for all classes. This includes the following guidelines:

• The current dress code requirements must be adhered to and are located on the website: Bloom Dress Code

• Long hair needs to be tightly secured from the face in either a ponytail or bun. For short hair or male dancers, hair must be pinned back from the face. This should be done before coming to class.

• At Bloom we value modesty. We ask our students to wear modest dance attire that covers their stomach.

• No gum is allowed during dance class.

• Level I ballet students and above may be asked to sit out if they are not dressed appropriately for ballet class.

To respect the time of our teachers and staff members, Bloom Dance Studio adheres to the following policy for drop-offs and pick-ups:

• Students should be dropped off at the studio no more than 10 minutes before the start time of their class or camp.

• Students under the age of 10 years old may only be dropped off to their classroom and must be accompanied by a parent/guardian while in the lobby areas.

• Students should be picked up promptly following their classes and camps. The studio will close 5 minutes after the end of the last scheduled camp and/or class of the day.

• For safety reasons, we ask our students to wait inside the studio space for their parents or guardians to arrive. If a child is not picked up in this allotted time frame, the studio host will make every attempt to contact the parent(s) on file.

• Parents and siblings are not allowed to remain in the studio during summer camps, as we utilize the lobby space for camp activities.

Bloom Dance Studio encourages open communication between instructors, staff members, students, and parents. We welcome feedback from our families. Do not hesitate to discuss any questions or concerns you have regarding your child’s dance experience, but this dialogue must be done at the right time. To honor the time and responsibilities of others, please do not bring up concerns to the instructor before, during or after a class, rehearsal or performance. Parents should call the Bloom business line (402-670-7206) or email support@danceatbloom.com to set up an appropriate time to address questions, concerns, and/or to provide feedback.

If a student needs to miss a class due to illness or conflict, we prefer that the parent log the absence in their parent portal in advance of the absence. This allows the instructor to know not to expect the dancer in class.

• In the Regular Season, make-up classes can be scheduled through the month of January. (Make-up classes are not offered after January 31st as classes will be preparing for recital and the majority of the class is focused on choreography specific to that class.)

• In the Summer Season, make-up classes can be scheduled within the six-week summer session, based on space availability. Keep in mind that there are fewer classes to select from for the summer season.

All missed classes must be made up within 2 weeks of the missed class. There is a limit of 3 make-up classes per dance season.

All make-up classes must be scheduled in advance of coming to the class, by emailing us at support@danceatbloom.com or calling (402-670-7206). Please wait for confirmation from the Studio Manager before bringing your dancer to a make-up class.

Tuition payments are not prorated for missed classes.

To ensure the best learning experience for all, ONLY registered dancers will be allowed in our Dance with Me classrooms. No other children will be allowed in our Dance with Me classrooms, except the registered dancer. 

• Note: Infants under 3 months (or babies who can be worn in a wrap/carrier without disrupting class), may be brought into the classroom.

Each registered dancer must be accompanied in class by one adult only (who must be 18 years of age or older). For consistency, we recommend that the same adult attend class as regularly as possible (especially during Recital season).

Bloom Dance Studio’s core programs (Age-Based Level Classes, Ember, Cultivate, and The Nutcracker) are intentionally designed for dancers who are currently enrolled in high school or younger. These programs center around school-aged dancers in both their structure and expectations.

Because of this, our policy states that dancers who have graduated from high school AND are 18 years old by October 1 are not eligible to participate in these offerings and should transition to Bloom’s programming for dancers 18+.

However, we recognize that every dancer’s educational and age timeline is unique. Therefore:

• If a dancer is 18 or older by October 1 but is still enrolled in high school, they remain eligible to participate in Age-Based Classes, Ember, Cultivate, and The Nutcracker.

• If a dancer has graduated high school but is not yet 18 by October 1, they also remain eligible for these programs until they reach the age requirement.

For dancers who are no longer eligible for our school-aged programs, Bloom offers two pathways designed specifically for adults:

• Adult Classes for dancers 18+ seeking recreational training.

• Solaris Pre-Professional TrainingTrack for dancers ages 18–25 looking to continue advancing their technique and artistry at a higher level.

In the event of inclement weather and/or poor road conditions, classes may be canceled for the safety of our students. Bloom Dance Studio will make our own independent decisions regarding weather closings.

If the decision to cancel classes is made, we will send out an email and text message to let families know, a minimum of 60 minutes prior to the start of classes for the day. You can also visit the website or check social media to receive weather updates.

As weather related closings are outside of the control of Bloom Dance Studio, we do not credit, refund, or prorate tuition for classes canceled due to inclement weather. Students are welcome to request a make-up class for weather-related closings, however make-up classes for the Regular Season are only offered through January 31st.
