Studio Policies Fall 2024-2025 PAYMENTS: Tuition is due at the first of each month. You are given a grace period until the 7th of every month at which point a late fee of $25 per dancer on the account (meaning if you have 2 children dancing your late fee will be $50) will be added to your account. You may pay online with Credit Card, Debit Card or ACH payment. There are convenience fees added to your transaction that are your responsibility. o You may sign up for Autopay charged on the 1st of every month.
