Level 3 - Students New to Pointe

Level 3 Students New to Pointe,

As Ms. Bar shared with you, you should go ahead with being fitted for and purchasing pointe shoes, if you have not already.

Please be sure to not sew ribbons or elastics, bend, glue or modify them in any way until after an SOBT faculty person has approved them. Please retain your receipt in the case a different shoe needs to be purchased.

You will need to bring them to this coming Saturday's Level 3 Pointe class for approval. Once approved you can then proceed with sewing ribbons and elastics as discussed with Ms. Bar.

Please contact SOBT with any questions.

Note the change in SOBT's refund policy:


SOBT Refund Policy

The School of OBT grants tuition refunds only in the event of prolonged illness or injury which prevents the student from fully participating in classes. The official date used to determine the refund amount is the onset of illness or injury and will be calculated based on the number of weeks the student cannot participate. All tuition refunds require proper medical documentation.

All refunds are issued by check within 30 days less a $45 administrative fee and processing fees incurred if the tuition payment was made by credit card. Registration fees and tuition deposits are non-refundable.

Refunds for Courses Canceled by SOBT
SOBT refunds 100 percent of tuition fees for classes canceled by SOBT.
