Studio and Tuition Policies
Tuition:
You are responsible for knowing when your balance is due. Tuition is to be placed in the black tuition box inside the lobby of either studio during studio operating hours. If mailing, please call to notify us and have mail postmarked by the 5th of the month to avoid the automatic late fee (see below). There are two choices for paying tuition: During your first week of classes you can pay your yearly tuition in full and receive a 5% discount, no refunds will be issued. Your second choice also has tuition annualized, but is broken up into bi-monthly payments for your convenience. Registration fee, prorated August tuition and full September tuition payment is due at registration or by first class. August is prorated by dividing monthly tuition by two. Tuition payments for October through May are to be paid two months at a time by the schedule listed below. Payments are the same regardless of the number of lessons any given month may have.

Make-up classes: If your child has an illness or injury and cannot attend classes temporarily, payment is still expected to continue to hold your dancer's spot. If you choose to no longer continue, your account will be charged until we receive written notice. No refunds or credits will be issued for missed classes. Students are encouraged to attend make-up classes of similar age and skill level at either studio location.
Late Fees: Tuition deadlines are strictly enforced and will incur a $10 late fee automatically applied to your account after the 5th . Tuition paid more than 30 days after the deadline will incur a $20 fee.
Checks: There is a $25 fee for all returned checks. If a check is returned for insufficient funds, all future tuition and fees must be paid in cash.
Private Lessons: Fees are to be paid at the time of the lesson. If the student is unable to attend a scheduled private lesson, please contact the instructor at least two hours prior to the lesson to avoid being charged. When contacting your instructor, please contact them directly on their cell phone, do not leave a message on the studio's main phone. Privates wishing to perform a solo in the recital must be enrolled in ballet.
