1. Tuition is based on a 32 week dance session. For your convenience, the total cost of lessons has been divided into 9 monthly payments, even though some months have more and some months have fewer lessons.
2. Tuition is due on the 1st of the month. We recommend using our autopay system. If you choose not to do autopay you must pay at the front desk with cash or check, or via our parent portal on our website. Any tuition not paid by the 10th of the month will be automatically drafted from the card on file and charged a $20 late fee.
3. There will be no refunds for missed classes. Students may make-up missed classes within one month of the absence. Please check with the front desk for an appropriate make up time.
4. Showcase & Expose: Accounts not paid IN FULL at the time of the showcase may not be allowed to participate in the showcase.

Participation in our end of the year recital is not mandatory, however the recital is typically the highlight of the year for most dancers. It’s the culmination of a years hard work as well as a chance to shine in front of family & friends. The kids will anticipate the show with nervous excitement, and I promise it is an experience they’ll never forget. More recital information will be coming soon.
1. Competition costumes orders will be placed in mid-October, Showcase costume orders will be placed in mid-November. For your budgeting convenience, anyone wanting to make costume deposits may do so during September and October. Please use a separate check and write, costume deposit for students name, in the memo of the check.
2. All costume balances must be paid IN FULL during costume week. Any costumes not paid IN FULL at that time will be placed on a separate order and will incur extra shipping and handling charges. There is a possibility that late costume orders may not be delivered in time for competitions, pictures and/or showcase.

All ala carte classes will have 1 costume per dance style.
All students participating in the spring showcase will be charged a showcase fee on March 1st to help offset the cost of the production. Any fees that are not paid by March 15th will be automatically drafted from the card on file. All families will receive free tickets to the show to distribute to family and friends. Additional tickets will be available for purchase.
