Full monthly tuition is due by the 5th of each month. The final tuition payment is due June 1st. Account balances must be current by June 10th for dancers to participate in the June recital.
Late fees of $15.00 are applied on the 10th of the month.
Melina's tuition schedule is based on a full dance year (July - June) with a minimum of 41 meetings per class throughout the dance season. Shorter months are balanced out by longer months to fulfill the tuition schedule. Tuition is not pro-rated for absences or studio closures. Dancers are encouraged to attend makeup classes for classes missed.
Monthly tuition can be paid through automatic withdrawal from your credit or debit card account. Tuition will be charged directly to your specified VISA, MasterCard, or American Express. Convenience fees do apply to all credit card payments. We will accept cash, checks, or money orders for tuition payment in-studio. Please write your child’s name in the memo portion of the check.

To withdraw my child from classes at Melina's Dance Company, I understand that I must notify the studio and complete the withdrawal form; not attending classes does not constitute withdrawing. I am responsible for giving a 14-day written notice and responsible for tuition for this timeframe. To avoid additional monthly tuition charges, withdrawal notices must be submitted no later than the last business day of the current month. Membership, tuition, costume, and performance fees will not be prorated or refunded.
If costumes have already been ordered, I understand that I will comply with all payment policies for the costumes and I understand that I can pick up the costume after May 15.
