Copy message

Before you send: add the name of one person to contact with questions, say in a few words why this message matters, and say what people should bring or prepare, if anything.

Why it matters

A clear cancellation notice shows respect for the time of students, parents, and staff. It helps avoid missed appointments and wasted travel. Clear information reduces frustration and keeps trust in the studio. It also gives people a chance to adjust their schedules. Prompt communication shows the studio cares about its community.

Also say where updates will be posted (one place, such as your website or group chat) and when you will share the next update. People then stop calling you and know where to look.

Common questions

How far in advance should I send a cancellation notice?

Try to send it as soon as you know the event must be cancelled, ideally at least a few days before the scheduled date. Early notice gives families time to change travel or other plans.

Should I offer a make‑up date in the cancellation notice?

If you have a new date planned, mention it briefly and invite people to contact the studio for details. If not, simply say you will follow up with options later.

What if some participants have already paid for the event?

Acknowledge any payments in the notice and let them know you will handle refunds or credits. Offer a contact method for any payment questions.
