Tuition Information
Tuition is structured as an annual fee, billed in equal installments. If tuition is paid before the first day of the month, you can benefit from the discounted rate; however, after the first of the month, the tuition will revert to the regular rate. Tuition for May and June is due together by May 1st. Please note that there is no option for a single class rate; classes are billed monthly and payments are due by the 1st of each month. Students who do not settle payments by the 7th will not be permitted to attend classes. Payments made after the first of the month will automatically be charged the regular class fee. Payments can be made via credit card if you are registered for auto pay by Oct 1st only . The rate for credit card tuition is higher to cover dour expenses. Please review this when resitering for auto pay
Costume fee
Costume fees must be paid in cash at the studio. A $50 fee will be charged for any returned checks. We provide each dance family with a Portal account, allowing you to access your account, set up auto-pay, register for classes, and more! Please ensure we have your current email address for communication, and update us if it changes.
