Membership Categories
Individual
This is the primary and most direct membership available. Individual membership covers the certification course, tests, certificate, & access to resources/perks for one individual. Each certified teacher maintains a valid membership for one full year starting on the day of your first payment. If you complete your course within one month, you'll be granted a free month and your certification year will begin at the start of the following month. Renewal of membership is cheaper than brand new membership, and carries a bigger discount if certain criteria are met ( more information below).

Dance Studio Unlimited
This membership carries all of the same perks as individual membership. With Dance Studio Unlimited, certification applies to all employees of the certified dance business. One fee covers all instructors who may take the course. This membership is ideal for two situations:
Studios with 3 or more teachers running hip hop classes save money on total registration cost.
Studio owners that wish to oversee development of the hip hop program and hire new teachers can use this program to train future employees.
Additional rules apply when an unlimited membership covers all employees
For a dance studio or business to earn certification, the entire course must be taken by:
A. Every instructor teaching hip hop classes within the dance studio hip hop program.
-or-
B. A studio owner or lead teacher for the hip hop program that will oversee the content of all classes, convey lessons, and craft curriculum that additional hip hop employees must follow.
The studio will have access to the entire course & tests to forward to any employee as necessary. To void the necessity for every teacher to take the course, a studio owner or lead teacher must agree to oversee the content of the hip hop program as stated above. Any teacher within a studio unlimited certification that does not pass the test for their individual certificate must have the majority of lesson plans designed by a certified overseer of the program. This is to ensure that all programs representing the comix method are maintaining the fundamentals of the program.
The fee for access to certification by a dance studio grants the availability of individually named certificates to all employees currently contracted with the studio.
Any certified individuals that break contract with an employer that would be the initial purchaser of the program is required to retake the course to avoid losing certification. An additional fee paid by the individual may be required in order to maintain their individual certification. The feel will be assessed based on remaining months in the membership year. Alternatively, full year price can be paid to begin a brand new membership year. Renewal discount prices will apply.
