TUITION/PAYMENT POLICY:
1. All families MUST pay an annual $35 Registration Fee to register for class(es). All dancers MUST be registered for all classes that they wish to take. Due to COVID-19 restrictions around class size, we will not be allowing drop-ins or make-ups at this time. If a dancer must miss class due to illness or other extraordinary circumstances, please discuss with Studio Management any make-up options. These circumstances should be discussed in advance if possible or as soon as the dancer has recovered from his/her illness.
2. As many classes move in progression from September thru May, we will not plan to re-register or admit students into classes in January. This can be disruptive to the students and instructor already in the class and presents a disadvantage to students just joining. New students moving to the area may be an exception. The schedule and registration are based on a full dance year, not individual semesters.
3. If you wish to drop a class, you must do so within the month of September. If you drop a class after September 30,2020 you will still be responsible for the full year class tuition. in another dancer not receiving a spot.
4. The tuition listed per class in the portal is based on 4-weeks. Our classes will run 32 weeks between September and May with a few built-in breaks and make-up weeks. You will receive 8 monthly tuition statements (dividing 32/4); Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, March & April.
Our tuition is based on $16/hour; thus an hour class is $16/week whereas a 45 minute class is $12/week and a 1.25 hour class is $20/week, etc.
We also offer multi-class/multi-hour discounts which is figured upon your families total registered class’ tuition and then the balance is split into the 8 recurring tuition statements.
We will also offer an additional 5% discount to any family wishing to pay their entire year tuition balance in full. “Paid in Full” is defined as one-payment in September or 2 equal payments, one in September and one in January for the entire dance year. You may discuss this option with Studio Management upon registration.
These discounts are applicable only to class tuition, they are not applicable to Company Fees, Production Fees, Registration Fees, Other Purchases, etc.
Boys ages 7-18 may take BALLET classes free of charge at Morgantown Dance. This adjustment will be made to the account once the dancer has registered. While these classes are offered free of charge, the attendance policy is still applicable.

An autopay option is available in the portal, where parents may authorize the recurring monthly payment to be taken automatically.

Any payment not made by the end of the month will result in the dancer being removed from class(es) for the next month or until the tuition is paid up to date.
