Registration and Tuition Policies:
Tuition for classes held during the summer is due in full at registration.

The first month of tuition and the last month of tuition (May) for the school term are both due at the time of registration.

Students are registering for the full school term (August – May), not for individual classes. The number of classes may vary per month, but payment for the term is divided into equal payments for your convenience.

TUITION PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR THE SCHOOL TERM (August – May)

Automatic Bank Draft for the Monthly Tuition amount - your bank makes a payment from your account on the 15^th of each month (September - April).
Automatic Charge to your credit card account (Mastercard, Visa, American Express, or Discover) for the Monthly Tuition amount - your credit card will be charged on the 15^th of each month (September – April).
Full term payment (August – May) in advance with 5% discount.
Two Semester payments with the first being due at registration, and the second due on the first class day of January.
Monthly tuition payment due by the 10^th of each month. A $10 Late Fee will be assessed if tuition balance is not paid by the 10^th of each month.
There will be a charge of $5.00 for insufficient funds.

Classes missed are not pro-rated or refunded. Classes should be made up within 30 days in an available class as determined by the studio office. Please contact the studio office to schedule a make-up class.

Students will be placed in a class level as determined by Studio of Dance staff. New students may be asked to take a placement class to determine appropriate level. Excessive absences from weekly classes may require a student to be moved to a lower level class.

If a student wishes to discontinue classes, written notice must be given to the studio office 30 days in advance to avoid further billing. Failure to submit 30-day written notice will result in forfeiture of the last month’s tuition which was pre-paid at registration. In addition, payment drafts will continue until the studio is notified that a student is discontinuing.

Taking a jazz class must also take at least one ballet class a week.

Taking a pointe class must take 2 technique classes a week in addition to pointe class.

Please be prompt in picking up your children. Tell your child to remain in the lobby and not outside. (STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO WAIT NEAR THE PARKING LOT) We are not responsible for children once they leave the building.

Parents are welcome to remain in the lobby during classes. Although we understand the need to bring younger siblings to the studio, please supervise them so that the classes are not interrupted. In addition, children should not be left unattended in the courtyard area outside the studio. Children that are running, playing ball, or being unusually loud will be asked to sit quietly.

Attendance is taken at every class. If your child will not be able to attend his or her scheduled class, please contact the studio office in advance. If your child misses 2 consecutive classes and the office has not been contacted, the office administrator will follow-up with a phone call.

Missed classes must be made up within 30 days. The studio office can help you select the appropriate class for make-ups. Please sign-in at the front desk before attending your make-up class.

Excessive absences from weekly classes may require a student to be moved to a lower level class.
