TUITION PAYMENT POLICIES – SUMMER DANCE PROGRAM

Payment for Summer Dance session is due the first day of your class. If you are paying per class the fee is due prior to taking class that day.

There is no Registration Fee for the Summer Program.

Payment Methods are listed below.

TUITION PAYMENT POLICIES – FULL DANCE SEASON SEPT-JUNE

A Non-Refundable Registration Fee is due per year at the time of registration.   $40 per student / $10 for each additional student per family. The Registration must be paid in full in order to reserve spots in the class/es you are interested in.

The 2023-2024 dance season runs for 10 months - September 2023 through June 2024. 

Full tuition is due for each month regardless of the number of classes that occur in the month.  Tuition is determined based on the full value of classes over the course of the entire dance season and then divided into monthly installments for your convenience.  Some months have more or less classes than other months but the tuition amount does not change.

SEPT – MAY tuition is due by the 15th of each month. 

JUNE tuition due by the 10th.  Tuition for the year must be paid in full by 6/10/23.   

A $10 Late Fee will be charged if tuition is not paid in full by the last day of the month.

A $25 Return Check Fee will be charged for any check returned by the bank for any reason. 

All tuition payments are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE. Dance lessons are a commitment from both the parents and students.  No monies will be refunded or transferred to another student for any reason.

If a student decides he/she wants to drop a class once classes have started for that month, tuition for that class is still due in full.  The tuition change reflecting the dropped class will go into effect the following month.  

FAILURE TO PAY tuition on time each month may result in suspension of enrollment.

ATTENDANCE, MISSED CLASSES and MAKE-UP POLICY

Good attendance is required in order to remain enrolled in a class.  Students are expected to attend their classes regularly and miss rarely.  Students who are not attending class regularly will not be able to continue taking the class.  Please communicate with us if a circumstance arises that causes a student to miss multiple classes.   No deductions in tuition will be made for classes missed. 

If parents/guardians so choose, a student may attend a make-up class in the event he or she misses a class.  Make-up classes may be taken in any other same level class or a level below the student’s current level.   It is the responsibility of each family to keep track of classes missed if they so choose.  Make-up classes may be taken before or after the missed class.   Monthly tuition amounts do not change if a student misses class.
