Tuition:
***Tuition is a yearly rate based on 32 lessons for the year. Our yearly rate can be broken down into monthly payments for the financial ease of our dance families. All tuition payments will be due by the 1st of each month (Ex: October 1, 2022). A late fee will be assessed to all accounts on the 6th of each month (Ex: October 6, 2022).
A class must consist of 5 or more students for the class to run. All classes with low enrollment will run until October 30, 2022. After that period we may cancel or merge classes. The last day to withdraw from a class and receive refund for June payment is October 30, 2022.

I release Waves of Motion Dance Center and premises from all claims for damages to either students or accompanying persons regarding loss of property, accident or injury sustained during or in conjunction with Waves of Motion Dance Center.
In most cases, Waves of Motion Dance Center will follow the Spotswood, Monroe, and East Brunswick School District closings. It also depends on when the snow removal company can remove the snow and get our parking lot safe for our dancers and their families.

Make-up Policy:
If your dancer misses a class, please call or e-mail the studio to arrange a make-up class. If the studio closes due to inclement weather, those classes may be made up also. Holidays are counted into the calendar 32 lessons for the year. All make-ups must be made up before Memorial Day weekend.

Recital/Costumes:
An optional end of the year performance that Waves of Motion Dance Center presents to our studio families. A dance will be choreographed and taught to your dancer's class at the start of the New Year (January). If the dancer and their family chooses to not participate they will still learn the dance and continue participating in the weekly class.
New this year a Recital Fee will be charged at the time of costume distribution (March - May). The fee will cover the Recital t-shirt (worn during our final dance at the end of the recital), dress rehearsal venue, and videography of the recital (if more than 1 show is presented at the recital, the videography will be of the show the dancer participates in).
Recital Fee:
Single $80
Family (2 dancers) $115

Recital Costumes:
Dancers will be sized in September/October
1-2 inches will be added to each measurement (bust, wait, hips, girth)
Costumes will be fitted between March-May.
Dancers are expected to be dressed appropriately especially during these fittings. If their attire is bulky, they will be asked to try on the costume in the bathroom with the assistance of a teacher. Costumes are delicate and many times if not not careful putting them on will tear or pull. If the dancer or parent is not comfortable with this fitting, the parent must e-mail Miss Raquel to make other arrangements.
Costumes are not made to personally fit each dancer. They come in generic sizes.
Some costume companies charge an exchange and shipping fee. If this is the case, this fee is the responsibility of the parent.
Costumes $85
Exchange Shipping Fee $15
Recital Tickets:
Tickets for our Recital can be purchased online. More information will be available during the early spring time. Tickets generally run between $25-$30 depending on the venue and the selected seats. Generally, family and friends are welcome to attend the recital.
