Tribe Dance Center schedules a minimum of 26 classes per regularly scheduled class during the October–June season. The annual calendar includes additional class dates on many weekdays to help account for weather-related and unforeseen closures.

• Tribe Dance Center does not automatically follow local school closings.

• Weather-related closure decisions will generally be made by 12:00 PM whenever possible.

• Closure notifications will be communicated by email and studio social media.

• If a class falls below the 26-class season minimum due to studio closures, Tribe Dance Center will make reasonable efforts to schedule a make-up class.

• Classes may also be canceled, combined, rescheduled, or modified when necessary due to instructor illness, emergencies, enrollment, or other circumstances affecting studio operations.
