INFORMATION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAIN FOR REFERENCE
OUR GOAL: We want your child to enjoy the pleasure of learning the art of dance or the skills of gymnastics while also experiencing the joy of achievement.
INSTRUCTORS: Huff ‘n Puff has very talented and responsible instructors. We are very proud of the programs that we offer and we feel that with our positive attitudes and your child’s talents, your child will be inspired to learn.
PAYMENT: Class payment is due the first lesson of each month and is considered delinquent after the second class of the month. A late fee of $10 WILL BE ADDED AUTOMATICALLY to all accounts not paid by the 10th day of the month. (Please be sure to discuss with Laurel if more time or different pay schedule is needed or if installment payments need to be made, etc.) We prefer PAYMENT BY CHECK – and please note on the check the child’s name, the month for which payment is being made, and what classes your child is taking. Check payments may be dropped into the payment box by the reception counter, if all information is furnished on check, and if no receipt is required. Cash payments must be made at the desk or in the office so a receipt may be issued. We also accept Visa, Mastercard and Discover credit and debit cards.
A student beginning a class any time other than the first monthly lesson will pay for the number of lessons remaining in that month. We do not charge extra for months when there are five lessons, nor do we deduct when we have only three lessons due to holidays, inclement weather, etc. If we owe two lessons due to a combination of the above, we will schedule make-up lessons.
REFUNDS/MAKE-UPS: No refunds will be given. Students dropping out for any reason will forfeit the remainder of that month’s payment. Also, registration fees are non-refundable. Students are expected to attend each offered lesson. However, we realize there are times when a lesson must be missed. If your child must miss his/her regular class, please check with Ms. Laurel as to whether a make-up class may be taken.
WE HAVE NO CONTRACTS; HOWEVER, YOUR CHILD IS CONSIDERED ENROLLED AND PAYMENT IS DUE FOR EACH MONTH UNTIL ONE WEEK’S WRITTEN NOTIFICATION IS MADE TO THE BUSINESS THAT YOUR CHILD IS DROPPING. NOTIFICATION MAY BE MADE BY COMPLETING A DROP CARD (AVAILABLE IN OFFICE) OR BY CONTACTING THE OFFICE. YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED UNTIL NOTIFICATION IS MADE.
CANCELLATIONS DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER AND HOLIDAYS: If Pulaski County Schools are cancelled because of weather or road conditions, then our dance and gymnastics classes will be cancelled. If we have more than two bad-weather cancellations, we will offer makeup classes on a Saturday. Regarding holidays, we close for six major holidays: Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, Fourth of July and Memorial Day. When in doubt about classes, please check our website, www.huffnpuffgym.com or call.

No loose clothing and absolutely NO JEANS. (Black pants or warm-up pants for boys). Hair, long enough, must be pulled back from the face or worn in a ponytail. Your instructor will be able to tell you what type of shoes are required for your classes or you may call the front desk and they will find out for you. Tap shoes should be worn in the dance rooms only, and not in the halls.
ATTIRE – GYMNASTICS: Girls will wear leotards or unibikes. Boys will wear shorts or spandex. No jean shorts, please. Hair should be pulled back out of face and long hair must be tied up. No rings, necklaces, dangling earrings or watches, etc. will be worn. Students must be on time for class warmups.
