Tuition is based on the entire dance season, but for your convenience is broken into 10 equal monthly payments September through June. Bills will not be mailed. The studio is set up for all families to pay on an auto debit system. All families will need to schedule automatic payments by selecting the 1st or 15th. The auto debit can be set up using a checking account or Visa/MasterCard. Families may choose payment on the 1st or the 15th. You can then expect the same recurring charge each month. No extra charges will be added to your account unless you specifically ask us to add something. When choosing an account, please choose a credit card with expiration date that will end after June 2024. If not possible, please update information via customer portal before the card expires so payments are not denied. If payment is held up, late fees will apply. A $10 late fee will apply for every month tuition is late. When selecting a checking account please select an account that will have the tuition amount available for withdrawal. If fees are not available and payment is returned, a $30 NSF charge will apply and fees will be electronically debited. Again, tuition for the dance year has been added and divided into 10 equal payments and that is the tuition shown to the right of each class.This will allow families to expect the same tuition debit each month since the amount of weeks vary from month to month. Through the course of the year students will receive at least 35 weeks of instruction although more are included in the schedule. The extra 2 bonus weeks are there to provide a buffer in case we need to close for any emergencies or inclement weather so tuition will not be affected. In the years we do not need calamity days students receive 2 bonus weeks that are accounted for in tuition.

If for some reason someone is unable to use the auto debit system and cannot provide a checking account or credit card the payment method will be as follows; before September 1 the student's September and October tuition must be paid in full using the tuition rate listed. After that, each month's tuition is to be paid in full before the first of the previous month i.e. November's tuition will be due before October 1 or late fees will apply. These payments are to
be dropped off at the desk in a sealed envelope with the student(s) name on the outside. A $10 late fee will be applied to accounts each month tuition is past due.

Tuition, registration fees, costume payments, competition fees and performance tickets are nonrefundable (if tuition was paid for the full year reimbursement may be given with a doctor’s note only).

If a student needs to make a schedule change, please speak with the office staff. If you wish to discontinue classes altogether, please speak with the teacher or office staff first. If a problem cannot be remedied, you must fill out a withdrawal form. The form must be filled out by an adult, not a minor student, and must be received before the last class attended. Leaving a message on the answering machine is not a form of withdrawal. The class schedule runs from September through June and simply not showing up any longer is not a form of notice and accounts will be charged until official notice is given. You are charged for all classes registered for, not just the ones attended.

​

A $40 registration fee per family is paid by all new students. Studio families returning each year do not pay registration fees if registered for classes and first month’s tuition paid by August 20.

All studio handouts will be sent home via email. If you cannot provide an email address or if it is not possible to stay up-to-date via email you are responsible for receiving studio information. All information that is sent will have a copy hanging up at the studio. Each family should check each week to make sure they have received this information. If you have not, please let the staff know so it can be resent ASAP. This is an effort to be sure all parents receive all important
information. Please be sure to check emails regularly so important deadlines are not missed.Please check spam folders as well. Email is not perfect and we cannot know when you are not receiving things without your help.

Regular attendance is important to keep up with class work. When an absence does occur, makeup classes are available. Be sure to check with the office for days and times and let the office know when you are planning to attend makeup classes. Missed classes may be made up within one month of absence only. Class make-ups can only be done while a student's registration and tuition are current. There is no "credit" given for missed classes and no refunds given for partial months. Tuition is still expected in full.
