How tuition works

Each individual class on our schedule is held once a week. Our tuition is due monthly and based off of how many hours a student takes weekly. If your student is registered for one, one hour class then they dance one hour a week, making tuition $88/month. The more hours a student takes in a week, the less you pay per hour as shown in the breakdown below. 

Tuition rates have been evenly divided for the 10 month school year (9 for art), including holidays, at a fixed monthly rate. Tuition is due and payable on the 1st of each month. Any account not paid by the 7th of the month will incur a $20.00 late fee. Due to COVID-19, tuition is currently payable only via the student portal. You can set your account up for autopay to be charged automatically at end of day on the first of each month. Tuition will be prorated for the first month of enrollment only.

In order to avoid any unforeseen billing surprises for our families, students whose accounts have not been paid for 2 consecutive months will be dropped from their classes and the student(s) will not be allowed to participate in any class. In order to be reinstated, all unpaid balances and fees must be paid.

If any student is dropping a class or dropping from the studio, written notice from a parent or the adult student must be received by the office BEFORE the first of the month or the account will be billed for the that month. Written notification must be submitted via email at registrar.danceetc@gmail.com. No phone calls will be accepted as notice of withdrawal.

**Once you register for classes, you will receive a confirmation email with our Summer 2021 waiver. This is how you will let us know which session you intend to take. Your account will not be invoiced until you have submitted this waiver. If you are a military family or have been with us for over 6 years, please email registrar.danceetc@gmail.com to claim your Registration Fee discount.**
