Tuition & Payment Options
We strive to be an affordable, quality dance education program for all ages. We offer flexible payment options and accept remittance per session or via a monthly payment plan. Please review our tuition pricing below and contact us should you have any questions. There is an annual registration fee of $35 PER FAMILY paid once per dance year (September - June) regardless of when you enroll. Tuition pricing is per student, not per family. (Ex. One child takes one class, one child takes three classes... $153 + $360-15% family discount= $436.05)
Important Notes:
-
If two members of a family enroll, there is a 15% discount. If three or more family members are taking classes or two members are taking four or more classes each, there is a 20% discount (the online system cannot calculate this 20% discount, please contact the office).
-
No refunds after the second week of class (exceptions may be made for long-term illnesses).
-
A $15 late fee will be applied to a family's account if a payment is over two weeks late.
-
Returned checks will have a $35 fee assessed to the family account.
-
Take advantage of our budget billing! Contact our office if you would like your yearly payments broken into 10 monthly payments. The first payment is taken at registration and then the remaining payments will be due on the 15th of each month from September - May. If you join on or after September 15th then TWO payments will be due initially.
-
In order to be on the monthly plan, you’ll need to have a credit/debit card on file with us. Our monthly payment option CANNOT be set up via our online system. You must call the office to select this payment option and we will manually override the system.
