Bring a story
to the stage.
Explore the characters and adventures of The Wind in the Willows through dance, and help bring its world to life.
Dancers will develop their technique, learn choreography, and use movement and expression to communicate a character’s feelings and choices. Along the way, they will contribute ideas, rehearse together, and discover how their individual parts connect.
The program culminates in a performance for families on July 17 at 2 p.m.

Permissions and policies.
Participation permission and required releases
A parent or legal guardian must complete the required participation permission, release, and emergency information forms before their dancer participates. These forms will be sent before the program begins. Paper copies will also be available at first-day check-in; a parent or legal guardian must remain until the required forms are complete.
Please provide current emergency contacts, authorized pickup names, and information about allergies, injuries, or other needs that may affect participation. Contact Amy privately to discuss sensitive information or support needs.
Submitting a registration form does not replace the required signed participation documents.
Photography and video permission
Photo and video permission is a separate, optional choice. Declining permission does not affect a dancer’s participation. The permission form will describe the proposed uses of images and recordings. A dancer’s name will not be published with their image without separate parent or guardian permission.
Tuition, deposits, and payment
Tuition is $300 per dancer. A $75 deposit, applied toward tuition, is due within seven calendar days of an enrollment offer to reserve a place. The remaining $225 is due June 7, 2027.
For enrollment offers made on or after June 7, full tuition is due within seven calendar days of the offer or before the first rehearsal, whichever comes first. After you submit your registration, you will receive an email with payment instructions and next steps. Registration is complete once all required forms and payment have been received.
If payment is overdue, Lantern Hill will send a reminder allowing 48 hours to resolve payment before offering the place to another dancer. Attendance cannot begin until payment is complete. Submitting a form alone does not reserve a place.
Family cancellations and refunds
Email cancellation requests to lanternhillcdt@gmail.com. The date the email is received determines the refund.
- Through June 7, 2027: Payments are refundable minus the $75 deposit. If paid in full, the refund is $225.
- June 8 through June 20, 2027: A refund of 50 percent of tuition paid beyond the $75 deposit. If paid in full, the refund is $112.50.

If a serious illness or injury prevents participation, contact Amy promptly. Requests for an exception will be considered individually; a refund is not guaranteed. Please do not submit detailed medical information through the registration form.
If Lantern Hill cancels or changes the program
If Lantern Hill cancels the entire program before it begins, all payments, including the deposit, will be refunded. If part of the program is permanently canceled after it begins, families will receive a proportional refund for canceled instruction that is not made up.
If dates or location change before the program begins, families unable to attend the revised program may request a full refund, including the deposit, within seven calendar days of the notice and before the program begins.
Approved refunds will be issued within 14 calendar days. Families will not be required to accept a future program credit instead of an approved refund.
