Clogging Shoes


All cloggers will need white clogging shoes. 

 

Junior high classes and up are recommended to have split sole clogging shoes. Bloch is the highest quality but any brand is ok. Try this link. If you are in the Younger classes, any white clogging shoes (they don’t need to be split sole) will work. You can get keds style white tennis shoes and have clogging taps put on them at the Village Shoe Maker in Orem. Make sure to have buck taps on the shoes! You can try this link as well.

If you'd like to try some on in person contact Bethany Hulse to buy new or used shoes: 
Bethany Hulse: (801) 427-4934
 

A few more personal costume items will be required. Once enrolled, see member portal for more information.

Band Information


American Rhythm has an incredible ensemble that we would love to have you be a part of! If you're interested in joining the band and want musical instrument lessons, here are some recommended teachers:

 

Guitar & Banjo - Taylon Mann ‭(801) 691-9895‬

Mandolin - Auriana Mann ‭(801) 361-0723‬

Fiddle/ Violin - Kathleen Crossley (810)-822-4030

 

Extra Clogging Courses


One of the best ways to brush up on your skills or even begin clogging, is to use Teagan's online courses! This is where most dance videos will be located this year. Check them out here.

Policies

Communication

Or main way of important communication is through GroupMe. Please ensure that your contact information is correct on your application form, and please join the GroupMe in the members portal quickly after registering for classes.

Changing Or Dropping Classes

When you sign up with American Rhythm, you are making a year-long commitment (American Rhythm follows the Provo School District and goes from September-May)

 

There are two groups at American Rhythm. Teams and Classes. You must commit to 85% attendance in order to be placed on a team. Teams learn dances that have formations and partners and a lot of the team dances will be used on tour. If you are placed on a team, you must also commit to attending the Spring Show/ Recital at the beginning of May. Classes are for those who would like to improve upon skills but do not want to commit to 85% attendance. 

 

If you need to drop or change a class, please note the following:

 

YOU MUST NOTIFY US OF A CLASS DROP/CHANGE. Please email americanrhythmutah@gmail.com to let us know if you are dropping or changing a class.  


If you notify us about dropping/changing a class AFTER the enrollment deadline of May 15th, no tuition refunds will be given. 

 

If you are paying monthly and decide to drop the class, you will still be expected to continue your monthly payments till all is paid for (except in extreme circumstances).

 

We may drop or change a class in the studio schedule if:

The class does not have enough students enrolled (We need a minimum of four students enrolled in a class to carry the class).

 

If you miss a class, you will not be reimbursed, and in some instances you will need to take a private lesson to make up for time lost in class. 

Recitals/Concerts

American Rhythm holds a spring show every year.

Recital/concert policies are as follows:

All team students are expected to participate in their respective recital/concert.
Comp tickets will be available to parents willing to volunteer time helping with costuming, ticketing and backstage.

If any costumes are not returned, you will be required to pay for the lost items. (Potentially up to $200)

To help keep these costs to a minimum, we ask parents to volunteer their time to help with the recital/concert in a variety of ways (i.e. helping with costumes, set up, clean up, etc.).

Dress Code/ Class Attire

Please wear black non-restrictive modest clothing (Joggers, t-shirt, leggings, etc) Make sure to remember your jazz and clogging shoes!


Please be courteous in using personal hygiene – don’t forget to wear deodorant!

Class Policies

CODE OF CONDUCT
Students should be dressed appropriately for each class. Dress code and class attire can be found under “Dress Code/ Class Attire” above.
Students should bring a bag that can contain their personal belongings.


Phones, tablets, toys, and other distracting items should be stored in a bag during class time. Electronic devices should be silenced or turned off.


Students are expected to behave respectfully during class. 


If a dancer or their parents engage in disrespectful conduct resulting in expulsion from participation, there will be no refund of fees or tuition that has already been paid.


Gossiping or physical / emotional bullying is not permitted and may result in expulsion from the class / studio.


We ask that students do not engage in unnecessary public displays of affection while in class, at the studio, or at any public activity associated with American Rhythm (i.e. classes, shows, rehearsals, competitions, team parties, etc.). Generally, we ask that students respect each other and do not engage in any behavior that could make others uncomfortable.

Fees

Tuition/ Fee Policies

You agree upon submitting the enrollment form at registration that you will enroll your student for the entire term and pay all yearly tuition and fees associated with participation until the end of the enrolled term. The tuition is non-refundable. (Unless there is a special circumstance like injury or death, etc.)

 

Tuition will only need to be paid once a year. You can choose to pay one payment, or you can split up your year payment into payments that will come out of your account each month.

 

No refunds or credits will be given for:
- Classes not attended
- Decisions to drop out after the semester has already been paid for

Upon registering your student for class, you acknowledge that you have read this information and agree to abide by its terms. You also acknowledge that you understand that tuition / fees can fluctuate from year to year as associated costs to the studio change. Specific program costs are listed above.

For our spring show,  we will require you to pay $75 if you do not return your costumes on time. 

How To Pay

Starting fall of 2024, American Rhythm will only be accepting online payments through the membership portal. No cash, checks, or venmo, etc. If you ever have any problems paying, please contact Twilla at: americanrhythmutah@gmail.com

Have questions about potential scholarships? Email Twilla at: americanrhythmutah@gmail.com OR fill out the tuition scholarship application form after you pay the original enrollment fee. 

 

State Homeschool Funding Programs

American Rhythm tries to make it possible to accept state funding programs. If you are planning to pay directly through Utah Fits All or Harmony, then email Twilla. If the invoice that is emailed to you isn't enough for the scholarship company, then forward your invoice with a note of what you need on it, and we will help you acquire the information.
