Registration Fees & Tuition
Registration fees are non-refundable. The entire first month’s tuition fees must be paid before classes have begun on Monday, August 21st, 2023. We recommend all students take at least one month of classes before deciding to drop or change disciplines.
Registration fees and first installment payment are required for your child to be enrolled in classes.
Tuition payments are withdrawn from accounts on the 1st of every month from August – May (10 installments). June tuition will be paid for those dancers that register later in the season. Automated payments are made by debit or credit card. We accept all major credit cards.
No tuition refunds will be made after January 22, 2024. Any dancer withdrawing from a class after that date will be liable for monthly tuition through the last billing date of the season.
If we receive an NSF (non-sufficient funds) on any studio payment, you are required to settle your payment at the Front Desk within 1 week of notification. You will be charged a $30 NSF fee.
Please note: If you have any payment outstanding at the end of the year, your child will not be able to participate in the end of year concert.
