Our program is designed to build confidence, coordination, technique, flexibility, and ultimately a love for the arts. We attempt to individualize instruction for our students in a positive and energetic environment. Tumble 'N Dance was established in 1989 and continues to be one of the best studios in metro Atlanta. We pride ourselves in producing well-rounded dancers, gymnasts and performers. At Tumble 'N Dance we have Competitive Teams who compete at the regional and national levels, as well as Pre-Competitive Teams, and recreational classes. Thank you for choosing Tumble 'N Dance and allowing us the opportunity to teach your child.

Performances are usually held at local auditorium. The Christmas Program fees are usually due in October and a 50% recital costume deposit is due the first week of January. The recital performance fee is due in March/April. An example of the cost breakdown is as follows:Christmas Program - $38.00 attire + $18.00 performance fee = $56.00 apprx. totalSpring Recital - $55.00 per costume + $50.00 performance fee = $105.00 apprx. total Holidays, Inclement Weather, Make-Up Classes: Tumble 'N Dance's seasonal calendar closely resembles the Henry County School Systems' calendar, but not exactly. We will NOT hold classes on the following dates: Independence Day, Labor Day, Fall Break, Halloween, Thanksgiving Break, Christmas Holidays, MLK Day, Mid-Winter Break, Spring Break, Good Friday, Spring Recital Picture Days, and Memorial Day. Classes will not be rescheduled nor will tuition be pro-rated for these announced Tumble 'N Dance holidays. All classes’ are guaranteed to meet a minimum of 32 times per season. In the case of inclement weather and the closing of Henry County Schools, Tumble 'N Dance will NOT hold classes. In these cases, tuition will not be refunded, pro-rated and make-up lessons will not be scheduled. Any student who misses a lesson due to illness is eligible for a make-up lesson in another appropriate class. All make-up lessons must be made-up within four weeks of the student's absence or the lesson is forfeited. Illness & Injuries: Please do not send a sick or feverish child to class. In addition, if your child has pink eye or ring-worm, please cover the affected area. If your child becomes sick or injures themselves while at Tumble 'N Dance, we'll notify you to pick them up and begin first aid as needed. Please help us to keep your personal information update in case of an emergency or class cancellation. If your child is ill or injured and cannot attend a scheduled performance, tuition and or fees associated with the performance will not be refunded or pro-rated.
.  Classroom Procedures & Observation Policies: We strive to promptly begin and end our classes on time. Therefore, we would appreciate that students be dropped off and picked up on time as well. Please do not send siblings or friends, who are not enrolled in classes during the same time, to class with your child. No child can be left unattended at any off-site performance, rehearsal or function. To eliminate unnecessary trips to the restroom, please have your child use the restroom before class. Please inform your Lead teacher if your child has a physical problem that may render special attention. Parents may observe class from the observation windows, wait in the waiting area, or leave and return at the conclusion of class. We request that parents do not enter a classroom while a class is in session. This can be distracting; it further contributes to children's possible separation anxiety, and prevents a teacher's ability to manage their classroom effectively. Instructors and their assistants will promptly request your help if needed. Please try to remain out of sight during class transitions, etc. to help your child remain focused on their class. Please write your child’s name in all personal belongings; especially dance shoes. Each student needs a bag for their shoes. Please only allow class supplies in dance bags; please no food, toys or keys. E-Mail / Mailboxes: Tumble ‘N Dance primarily dissimulates information to parents through email. Please note on your Registration Card if you wish to receive all future information via email. If you do not have email access, a hard copy of the information will be put in “Class Mailboxes” in the Studio. It is a parent’s responsibility to stay abreast of all Tumble ‘N Dance information. If you ever have any question or concern or feel you may have missed important information, please see the Office Staff or Ms. April. We’ll do all we can to get important and time sensitive information to you. Don’t forget to update your personal information on your child’s Registration Card whenever it may change.Revised 7/10
