Americans with Disabilities Act (A.D.A.)

Mission Statement

Our Mission is to provide an extensive and varied recreational program, enhancing personal enrichment, and providing for the community’s leisure needs.

The activities and services shall include, but not be limited to: recreational and enrichment activities for all ages, youth and adult sports programs ( non competivitive and competitive), and activities for special populations.

Resident/Non-Resident

To receive the resident rate you must reside within the cities of Rochester or Rochester Hills. RARA is funded through a millage collected in the city of Rochester Hills and a comparable fee in the city of Rochester.

Residency is not connected with the Rochester School District. Residency is determined by where you pay your city taxes.

The current non-resident fee is $20 per program for children and $28 per program for adults. NonResident fees are not charged for Special Events and Team registrations.

Notice to Participants

Participants must recognize that all classes/ activities of a physical nature involve some risk, and by registering for a class/activity of this nature there is an assumption of risk by the participants. RARA is dedicated to providing safe equipment as well as qualified staff for all participants. In the event of a serious accident or illness, it is the policy of RARA to:

1. Contact emergency medical services to perform first aid, and when necessary, recommend transport of the victim to the hospital.

2. Reach the parent/guardian/emergency contact as soon as the situation allows.

Cancellation of Activities

This landmark civil rights act went into effect in 1992. It is a significant step forward to make our society’s services and opportunities fully available to all Americans by combating barriers and prejudices that confront those of us with disabilities. RARA is committed to implementing the intent and spirit of this legislation. Those who may need assistance in order to participate and enjoy our programs should contact our staff at least two weeks in advance of registration to discuss any necessary accommodations or concerns.

Persons with disabilities are invited to participate in all programs offered through RARA, We hope that with our assistance , you will be able to create lifelong memories in our community.

All RARA activities are cancelled when the Rochester Community Schools are closed due to inclement weather. In addition, cancellation of programs will be determined by program supervisors as seen fit.

Cancellations will be posted on the www.rararecreation. org home page, RARArecreation Facebook & Twitter, and for some programs, registered participants will be notified via email.

Refunds

All programs cancelled by RARA will be refunded in full.

Participants requesting a refund must submit a refund request in writing at the RARA Offices, 500 E Second Street. Refunds will be charged a minimum $5.00 processing fee. 2.5% credit card processing will not be refunded. Refund amounts will be determined on an individual program basis and requestors will be notified if additional fees are assessed. All refunds will be issued by check once the fees have been assessed.

Naming & Sponsorship Opportunities

Our Mission is to provide an extensive and varied recreational program, enhancing personal enrichment, and providing for the community’s leisure needs. The activities and services shall include, but not be limited to: recreational and enrichment activities for all ages, youth and adult sports programs and activities for special populations.

In the furtherance of this mission, RARA is faced, more frequently as time passes, with the need for additional funds for assistance with enhancement, maintenance and operations of RARA facilities and programs. In a time of shrinking public dollars, RARA seeks outside funding through sponsorships in order to maintain valuable and important programs and facilities, as we continue to provide thousands of programs each year to over two hundred thousand area residents.

RARA has designed a sponsorship program that will enhance the ability to deliver recreation services as long as the services and products of those businesses are consistent with and appropriate to RARA’s mission and lines of business.

Our sponorship opportunities include: • Naming Rights - Field House • Naming Rights - Dance Studio • Legacy Rights - Dance Rooms 1, 2, 3, & 4

• Sponsorships - Sports, Programs, Special Events

RUSl and RARA will be hosting it’s first annual Chumash 3 on 3 tournament for high school boys. This 3 on 3 tournament will help develop your agility and speed around the net. Chumash LaCrosse is an excellent off season training option because of the constant action. Unlike field lacrosse, each player is always involved. We play on a small field and goal and put a premium on ball movement, fast pace and accuracy. All of the game tactics (picks, give and gos, backdoor cuts, etc) translate to full lacrosse. The pace of play requires defense to communicate and cover for one another. This a great physical workout due to the constant movement and change of direction.

RARA SCHOOL FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS RARA School for the Performing Arts program offers a wide variety of dance classes (preschool, tap, jazz, lyrical, ballet, hip hop, and contemporary) for children and adults beginning at 2 ½ years of age. We teach these classes in terms. Our RECITAL TERM begins each September when we enroll students for the two semester program, ending with the “grand finale” – our recitals in June presented at a local high school. Some dancers enjoy non-recital classes taught in 8-16 week terms throughout the year, FALL, WINTER/SPRING AND SUMMER. The SUMMER TERM, provides students the opportunity to strengthen skills or sample new classes in a short 8 week session and begins each June.

Annual auditions are held each May for our COMPETITION and ENSEMBLE classes.

LOCATION: Dance classes are taught at our Dance Center located at 500 East Second Street, downtown Rochester.

The center features four classrooms, parent waiting area, canteen, and ample parking.

Each studio classroom has an observation monitor.

INSTRUCTORS: Our dance teachers are trained, mature, and sensitive to the needs of both children and adults. They teach to develop technique and self-confidence, not stress, enhancing body image, strength, and agility through dance.

Above all, the enjoyment of the performing arts is foremost.

DRESS CODE POLICY: Dancewear is worn for all classes.

Students cannot dance in street clothes.

No loose fitting clothing or excessive jewelry, please. Hair must be worn off the neck, out of eyes and must be secured before class. See shoe requirements with the class listings. Detailed dancewear information is available on the our website: www.rararecreation.org MAKE-UP POLICY: There are no make-up or refund opportunities for students who miss class due to illness, travel, family situations, etc.

Classes cancelled due to inclement weather conditions cannot be made up or refunded. There will be make-ups scheduled in the event that class is cancelled when an instructor is unable to conduct class.
