The placement time has been reserved and preparations made for you in class. If the class payment is not received by the 15th of the month the latest, a $25 late fee will be charged. Monthly payments that accumulate will continue to receive late fees until paid. Return checks or credit card charges will incur a $25 return fee. Transaction fees of 4% will be applied if using a credit card. Debit cards, checks, and cash have no fees. (If there are extenuating circumstances, please let us know, we do not want any service interruption for the Participant.) NEW STUDENTS: may try a class one time for a fee of $20. If they sign up at the end of class, the $20 fee will be applied to their tuition.

Regular attendance is expected. RDW Participants are expected to arrive on time. Inconsistent attendance can affect a Participant’s advancement and possibly remove their opportunity of performing with the class.

We can make a virtual link available to Participants for distant participation. RDW does not return tuition payments for lessons not fulfilled.
