ADDITIONAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES-
Seasonal Registration Fee is $25.00 per student. At the time of registration payment for the first and last month's tuition must be paid. This is non-refundable and must be paid in order to secure your child’s placement in class.
Tuition is due prior to the first class or on the 1st of each month to The Dance Place. Payments can be made in cash or check before the 1st of each month by sending payment in with your child or mailing a check, on the 1st of each month if payment is not made in person, your credit card will be charged the amount due. To avoid paying the 3% credit card processing fee, send a cash or check payment in BEFORE the 1st of each month and a receipt will be sent home with your child, or you can set up to direct debit from your checking account on our secure processing system to avoid a 3% fee. A computer generated $15.00 late fee will be automatically added to accounts paid after the 15th of each month. Please note that if for some reason you are unable to attend class as planned by the 15th of the month, and there is an issue processing your card on file, you should make arrangements to mail your payment or drop it off at the studio during business hours in order to avoid the $15.00 late fee. Mailed tuition payments must be postmarked by the 15th in order to avoid this fee. We do not always send statements. Any classes that are missed during the month may not be deducted from the next month’s tuition. It is the sole responsibility of the parent/student to make up missed classes, we are very flexible with scheduling a make-up class and are happy to help you find a good fit at either of our locations.
Our calendar is listed online prior to the start of September classes, we follow the school district calendar for closings and holidays.
• Yearly tuition is broken down into 10 payments for your convenience with the first, last and registration fee payments due at the time of registration. (When pre-registering prior to September a payment of registration and your last month's tuition will be made at the time of registration and September tuition will be charged on September 1st.)
I understand that I must leave a valid credit card or checking account on file and that if my monthly tuition/balance is not paid by the 1st of each month my card will be automatically charged. Competition team tuition payments are made from September through August.
There will be a $20.00 fee added for any returned checks. If there is a discrepancy in payment records, it is the parent’s responsibility to show the canceled check or receipt. Please save your receipts. Payments may be paid in person or mailed in.
If the studio is required to close as a result of Covid-19 or any other reasons mandated by the CDC classes will resume at the same time online and tuition will continue to be charged and paid monthly. There are no refunds for payments made prior to closing and should you withdraw your child from classes there is no guarantee that we can hold their spot in the class when the class resumes. Should you withdraw your child from classes, the $25 registration fee will be paid in addition to tuition upon your child's reenrollment.
Competition students must participate in online classes if for some reason we are mandated to close our "in person" classes in order to remain on the team. Tuition for competition students is yearly and is broken down into 12 payments for your convenience. There are no exceptions to this policy. Our team dances 12 months out of the year and dancers are committing to a 12-month program regardless of how often they choose to participate throughout the summer months. The only exception to this policy is our Mini team.
If you have any questions regarding any of our payment options, please do not hesitate to ask.
I have read and understand the above payment options, I am fully aware that tuition is due by the 1st of each month. I understand that my credit card on file will be charged my account balance if not paid by the 1st of each month. If for any reason tuition is not paid by the 15th, I will be charged a computer generated $15.00 late fee. I understand there will be no exceptions.
