TUITION PAYMENTS
All tuition is based on the season, September through May, not by individual class. Your monthly rate will remain the same regardless of the number of instruction weeks in each month. The monthly payment plan is your annual tuition divided into nine equal monthly payments, from September through May. The month of May requires full tuition payment.
NOTE: All tuition payments are due by the first day of each month. There is a ten day grace period. A $30.00 late fee will be applied to any past due balance paid after the 10th of each month. Your child will be unable to continue in class if tuition payment is two months past due.
Make sure your child’s name is clearly marked for payment. We accept payment by CASH, CHECK or CREDIT CARD. (Our service fee for processing credit cards is 3%)
For your convenience, we offer three payment plans:
1. Annual Payment: Payment must be made by the first class attended.
2. Semi-Annual Payment: First payment is due at the time of registration and the second payment is due by January 10th, 2022.
3. Monthly Payment: Payment is due by the 1st of each month. A $30.00 late fee will be applied to any past due balances, paid after the 10th of each month.
No tuition refunds or credits will be given due to absenteeism. No tuition refunds will be granted if a student leaves before completing the month. Tuition payments and lessons are non- transferable.
There is a $35.00 fee for any checks returned for insufficient funds.

LEAVING THE BUILDING
We are not responsible for the safety of your child if he/she leaves our facility for any reason. Parents should come inside to pick up their children. Parents, please be prompt in picking up your child. Advise your child to stay inside until you arrive. The teacher will be busy teaching and will not be in the lobby to supervise your child.
PARENTS/VISITORS WEEK
Parents will be permitted to observe their child’s classes during the weeks of November 15 - 20 and February 28 - March 5. This gives parents a chance to see what the students are learning in each of their classes. In order to make this lesson productive, we ask that all observers please keep conversations in the dance studio to a minimum.
***For private lessons, duets, and/or trios: Parents will be permitted in the studio for the whole lesson during observation weeks only, however, they are welcome to observe their student for the last 5 minutes of the class regularly.

ATTENDANCE
Regular attendance is a MUST. Each student is important to the progress of the whole class. Interest is kept when there is progress and development. Irregular attendance slows both. Please be prompt.

Privates, duets/trios: In the case of insufficient notice given to the teacher, you will be charged for the class/teacher’s time.
