Q: How much is tuition for my student? A: Tuition varies depending on which classes your child is enrolled. Your monthly installment includes monthly tuition, recital fees, recital T-shirt, and the recital DVD. This information is broken down on our Policies and Procedures page.
Q: When are costume fees paid? A: Costume fees are separated into 2 installments (3 payments if your dancer is enrolled in the Junior level class or above). These payments are due, along with the regular monthly fees, in September and November (& December, if your child’s fees are divided into 3 installments). The payment dates are posted on our calendar, which can be accessed through the Parent Portal.
Q: When is Tuition due? A: Tuition will be charged to your preferred payment method on the 1st of each month, even if the 1st falls on a weekend. The payment dates are posted on our Policies and Procedures page.
Q: Do I have to use online tuition, or can I still pay with checks? A: Online payments are preferred, and encouraged, for your convenience. Checks and cash will be accepted on the 1st class of each month. These payments can be left in the lobby drop box, labelled with your child’s name.
Q: How do I register if I am a new student? A: We now have online registration; simply click here, fill out and submit it to the studio! Your dancer will not be considered fully registered until the registration fee is paid.
Q: How do I register if I am a returning student? A: Returning students can re-enroll by emailing Renee to have the re-enrollment fee added to your account. Your dancer will not be considered fully registered until the re-enrollment fee is paid.
Q: How do I know what class my child will be in? A: View our Class Curriculum page to find out more about the classes we offer. Final decisions concerning placement are made by the teacher. Once your child is registered, he/she will be enrolled in a class by the studio. You will then receive a confirmation email with more details.
Q: I want to add/drop a class. How do I do that? A: Our Add/Drop policy can be found here. All classes that are dropped or added after initial registration must be submitted via paperwork. A 2 week notice is required to drop a class. You are responsible for fees due during those 2 weeks. COSTUME FEES WILL NOT BE REFUNDED FOR A DROPPED CLASS.
