Payment Policies
Normal tuition is based on the entire dance year program which is split into even monthly payments with the exception of September (which will be pro-rated at half the normal monthly tuition rate). It is calculated based on the number of hours a student takes class each week. All vacations and holidays have been taken into account. Payment is due on the 1st of each month and will automatically deduct from the credit card, debit card, or bank draft on file. In the event that a card is declined or invalid a $10 late fee will be applied after the 5th of that month. There is a $25.00 fee on all returned checks. Payment in cash will be accepted but must be made before the 1st of the upcoming month. NO credits, refunds, or adjustments will be given for absences or classes cancelled due to the weather; however, if more than one class is cancelled due to the weather, a make-up class will be offered.
Tuition Discounts
A 5% discount will be given to immediate family members with two students registered- first student (highest tuition) will pay full price, while the second student will receive the 5% discount off their tuition only. A 5% discount will be given to immediate family members with three or more students registered- first student, full price; second student, 5% off; third (and any additional) student will receive 5% off their tuition only. If tuition is paid for the whole year a 10% discount will apply. (Family discount and whole year payment option discount can not be combined.)
Registration
Registration is $25 per student/$50 per family and must be paid at time of registration to hold spot in class.
Costume Policies
Costumes range from $70-$85 per costume. All costumes must be paid by February 1st and will automatically deduct from the credit card or bank draft on file. Costume amounts will be posted to accounts by January 2nd and will include any credits from fundraising. Payment by cash will be accepted anytime before February 1st. There are no refunds once a costume order has been placed. Please note that costumes are not custom made and will be purchased with room to grow depending on the costume company's size chart. Any alterations are the responsibility of the parent.
*Please note that costume ordering is dependent on the Covid-19 situation and that alternative plans may be made in the event we are unable to have a normal recital.
** Competitive class costumes may be a higher price and may need to be ordered earlier.
