Classes begin the week of September 15th!

COSTS INVOLVED

Registration fees, and first month’s tuition must be received to finalize class placement.

Your child is not registered, until we receive the registration information and appropriate fees.

New Students- Registration Fees are $35 for individual student and $45 for 2 or more students in family.

Returning students from 07-08 may deduct $10 off of registration fee if we receive their registration and September tuition prior to September 10th

*After September 10th Registration fee will be $35/$45 for everyone who registers.

HOURS DANCED PER WEEK (PER CHILD) MONTHLY INSTALLMENT:
 

If more instructors are hired, these fees may be subject to change in order to add to faculty.

FAMILY RATES

To figure family rate, add up how many hours each child has- add those figures together and subtract $10 from the total cost to get tuition amount.

Tuition paid by installments will be due the first week of every month, regardless of number of classes that meet in that month or student absence.

Tuition is a yearly fee, broken down into 10 installments for your convenience. This yearly fee can be paid up front in FULL for the year, by quarterly installments, or monthly, September thru June.

Installments are still due and payable unless the studio is notified of withdrawal PRIOR to the 10th of the Month. Tuition installment will still be due for that month if withdrawal notification is made after the 9th of said month.

Payments in full for the year should NOT be made and are not recommended, unless the parent or guardian is confident that the student will continue for the whole duration of the year. Refunds are not given for full year payments after October 9, 2008 and will be subjected to a $50 administrative fee. This fee will be deducted from the refund.

If a student withdraws after October 9th, and they have paid in full for the year, they will only receive that refund as a credit to their account and not as a cash refund. The credit will be void after one year from the date of the student's withdrawal. (Not transferable to students outside of immediate family)*
