• Tuition rates are for the full season (September-June, including studio holidays), not by the number of classes in the month. A full season of dance includes a minimum of 34 lessons (we have 37 weeks built into our calendar year to give us flexibility during these historic times). Tuition fees are paid monthly or annually.
• In the event of government orders, natural disaster, or pandemic our classes may need to be moved to a virtual platform. All tuition and fees will continue to be run during our normal contract unless a 30 day notice is given.
• After registering (paying for September and your registration fee), monthly tuition (September-June) must be paid by account debit or automatic credit card payment. Tuition will be debited from your account (or charged to your credit card) on the 1st day of each month (September-June). To avoid your card being run, please pay by cash, check or debit card by the 1st of each month.
• Accounts not paid within terms are subject to an accruing 5% monthly finance charge until paid. Accounts more than 60 days past due may be submitted to collection services.
• Recital costumes will be paid by automatic bank account debit or automatic credit card payment on November 10th.

• Siblings receive a 10% discount on the smaller tuition account. No sibling discounts on Performing Groups, Competitive Teams, or Registration Fees.
• Dancers are encouraged to take advantage of our Multi-Class Discounts for maximum progress & value. Please refer to the Class Schedule page for details.

NSF on paper checks, auto-debit, or auto-charge payments will incur a $35 NSF fee which will be paid at the front desk along with the tuition.

There is a two month minimum for all lessons. One-month notice from the first of the month is required to discontinue any payments.

To withdraw a parent must:

1. Inform the studio in person.
2. Complete and sign a withdrawal form or email the Studio. Automatic bank debiting or credit card charges will stop after the one-month notice period.

• Students are measured for costumes in classes and they will be delivered in Jan.-April. Costumes will be given out to Non Recital Participants after the Recital.
• Once costumes are ordered they may not be cancelled or returned for a refund.

• Each June, we end our season with our fully-staged, professional Spring Recital. We encourage, but do not require, participation. In the event we are unable to do a full staged Recital we will adjust as needed.
• Students are required to wear appropriate dance shoes for the performance and may need to purchase a specific color or brand of tights. In addition, each student in the recital will be required to purchase a recital T-shirt for $16.00. Your account will automatically be billed for the t-shirt on April 1st.
