FEE & PAYMENT POLICIES
Studio 53: I understand that I will be enrolled in my class every month, and if I wish to discontinue classes, I must email before the end of the month to do so. Classes will run every month, unless otherwise stated.
Martin School of Dance & Baton Twirling: I understand the dance season runs from September to June, concluding with Danskapades (our year-end recitals) and that all fees are payable on the 1st, 15th or 20th of each month covering all lessons, within that month.
Tuition fees are charged for each class per month, based on a program of 34 lessons in the dance year and include GST. Multi- class discounts, if applicable, will be added at the time tuition is billed each month.
I understand that should my account fall behind 30 days or more, that I, or my child, will be unable to participate in class until such time that my account is brought current.
Acceptable forms of payment include VISA and MASTERCARD. Credit cards are stored in a secure system and will be managed by authorized staff only.
E-transfer is also an acceptable form of payment, but only with a valid credit card on file. If the e-transfer has not been received by the chosen date - 1st, 15th or 20th, then the outstanding amount will be charged on the credit card on file. (The studio will no longer accept post-dated cheques, and cannot accept debit, combined Visa/debit, combined Mastercard/debit or American Express credit cards as forms of payment.)
If it is necessary to discontinue my, or my child's lessons, I may do so before the end of any month.
Session classes are to be paid in full at time of registration. All fees include GST.
COSTUMING for 2020-2021
Studio 53: I understand that costume fees do not apply to the Studio 53 classes.
Martin School of Dance & Baton Twirling: Costume deposits for students who are new to MSD or who are taking new or extra classes or disciplines are $15.00 per routine per month and are taken from September to February.
Deposits are non-refundable once costumes are ordered (usually in November). Remaining balances on each costume will be charged when the costumes are ready - in the Spring. Costume balances must be paid before they are handed out.
For returning students, who have costumes from the 2019-2020 dance season, we will be taking a $5.00 per existing routine per month costume contingency deposit from September to February. This contingency will provide for fees associated with alterations or size exchanges, as required. Any portion of the contingency deposit that is not used, will be credited back to the account once costumes are confirmed.
