Tuition is based on the entire season of dance. Our season runs August through May. Tuition is not based on the number of classes in a month or on attendance. There is NO refund for missed classes, ie., no pro-rated classes.
Payment Options: 9 equal monthly installments. Tuition installments will be due the 15tth of each month, August through May, and will be automatically auto drafted to the card on file on the 15th of each month.
Monthly tuition installment amount is based on the number of hours (classes) taken per week. When more than one child in a family is enrolled, add the total number of hours per week. Family discounts apply only to siblings under the same account.
IMPORTANT: The following information pertains to activities, student registration for Dance Season 2021/22. In registering your dancer, this means you agree to all information provided below. We encourage your questions.
Thank you! MMDS Staff
You must be over the age of 18 to register for an account. I, as a parent of a dancer at Mountain Movers Dance Studio, agree & acknowledge to all of the following:
Registration Fee
The first month's tuition is required with the registration form to reserve class space. Registration will not be considered complete and class space is not reserved until this fee has been paid.
PAYMENTS:
Payments are DUE on the 15th day of each month for classes during that month. A LATE CHARGE of $10 will be charged after the 20th day of the month if there is a balance on the account. You are required to be on AUTO-PAY for Tuition ONLY - Any other fees may be paid for via Checks, Cash or Credit Cards (fee to use credit card) are all accepted forms of payment.
Upon registering for classes - DSP will prompt you to fill in the appropriate information. Debit/Credit Cards have a fee when being used. To avoid these fees you may pay with cash/check. When paying with Cash/check, this is due by the 5th of each month in order to avoid extra fees. If not paid by then, your ACH and/or Card information on file (held within the system of Dance Studio Pro) will be charged for the balance due on the 15th of the month.
Returned check fees will be applied to your account. By setting up your account on auto-pay via your Dance Studio Pro Parent Portal Account this enables you to be in control of your dancers tuition/fees, etc. You will be emailed a login/password upon registration. There you will have access to your Personal MMDS Parent/Dancer Account and may view all important items which are constantly updated via our DSP system.
Tuition may be paid by the following methods: cash or check made out to Mountain Movers Dance Studio with the child/childrens name and month the tuition is going towards. There is also a PayPal account. When using PayPal, please use mountainmoversdancestudio@gmail.com. If you choose to use PayPal, there will be a 4% convenience fee that you will add to your amount (ex. If your tuition is $35 a month, you will send $36.40).

EMAIL COMMUNICATION:
You must check your email for important updates for your dancer. This is very important and is our major form of communication. These updates contain vital and pertinent information that you and your dancer need. If you are not receiving emails from MMDS, please let us know immediately so we may correct any problems.
BAD WEATHER/HOLIDAYS
For weather and holidays, we will go off of Tahlequah Public Schools (TPS) school schedule meaning if they are in session, so is our dance studio, but if they are out of school (Fall/Thanksgiving/Christmas break, etc.) we will not hold classes. Although we go by TPS schedule, the studio will not necessarily close for snow days, regardless if area schools are closed, since many times roads are clear and safe by 3:00 p.m. If in doubt, first check our Facebook page/email or feel free to contact the studio after 1pm to see whether we will have classes or not due to weather. If classes are cancelled for any reason, it will be posted on our Facebook or in a remind text.
*Privates are based on parent/instructor communication and can continue during breaks if asked by parent/guardian.
Attendance
Good attendance is imperative, as absences and tardiness can hold back an entire class. Students should be prompt and prepared for class. Please understand that a large amount of absences can hold a student back from moving up next year. If a child misses too many classes and the teacher feels it is necessary, they may not get to perform in recital.
WITHDRAWAL:
Non-attendance does NOT mean you have dropped your classes and/or withdrawn from Mountain Movers Dance Studio. If you wish to withdraw, you must fill out a form 30 days prior to your withdrawal date. Your account will continue to be charged through the 30 days and you will owe that amount as part of your contractual agreement.
ALL COSTUME/ RECITAL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
