Payment Terms Tuition is due on the FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH. A late fee of $15 will be charged on the 7th of the month. Auto-draft is required, however, if you prefer to pay by cash or check you may do so only before the 1st of the upcoming month that your tuition is due for. Returned Check fee is $25. If special circumstances arise, please speak with our staff to make payment arrangements. You are responsible for providing and updating your card information and making sure funds are available so that your payments are able to be processed on the auto-draft date. If your card is declined or unable to be processed for whatever reason, you are responsible for following up with your payment or you will be responsible for the corresponding late fee posted on the 7th of the month. Lack of attendance will not entitle you to a refund of tuition or to transfer payment to the next month’s tuition. Please see our “Attendance & Conduct” policy below for make-up class information. Tuition is based on the number of weekly hours a student is enrolled in and is conveniently broken down into equal monthly installments during the dance season. For this reason, months that have more than four weeks (April) or fewer than four weeks (December), the amount of the monthly installment remains the same. All rates are subject to change and increase annually.

Please note that our costume policy states costumes are non-refundable despite your lack of participation.
