Weather and cancellations
Inspirations usually follows Savannah R3 for all weather closings, however we may open for evening classes if weather and road conditions have greatly improved by noon. Our schedule allows for two weather cancellations per class per year. Additional weather cancellations will be offered an opportunity to make up class. Inspirations reserves the right to reschedule or combine classes, provide a substitute or replacement teacher, or deliver classes via alternate method if necessary.
Parent observation, VIP week
Classes at Inspirations are closed to observation to reduce distractions for students and teachers. Parents, families and other fans are invited to participate in classes during our VIP weeks each fall and spring.

Recitals
Recitals are held at the end of each semester, in January and June, at a professional theater. Recitals are an exciting time for our dancers to show off what they have learned all year and build confidence on stage.
Recital fees
$60.00 per student, due October 1 for the January show and February 1 for the June show. This defers the cost of production, including venue rental, extra staff and props. The fee includes a sitting fee for a professional photo shoot and a digital download of professional videography of the show.
Costumes
Costumes are rented for each show from Inspirations. Each class has one costume per show. We strongly recommend purchase of a skin tone leotard for all dancers to protect their privacy in the dressing room. Tights must be purchased from Inspirations for most classes.
Costume rental fees
$30 per class, due November 1 for the January show and March 1 for the June show. Each class will have one costume per show. The entire costume is provided with this fee, which defers the cost of purchase, organization, delivery to the theater, and cleaning.
Even pay and save
Balance your billing by deferring your show and costume fees across all 11 months of tuition, and save. Just request even pay and we will take care of the rest.
Show ticketing
All shows are reserved seating. If the audience member needs a seat, they need a ticket. Babies and small children that will be on a lap do not need a ticket. Students performing in the show do not need a ticket.
Dress code
Appropriate attire for dance class is important for safety and effective learning. Hair should be pulled back securely, off the face. No bare tummies, jeans, skirts without leotard, long nails or jewelry. Inspirations carries a full line of dancewear and shoes and we would love to help get ready for class.
