TUITION PAYMENT PLAN

Tuition
Is to be paid the first of each month. It will be considered late after the 10th and a $25.00 late fee will be automatically added to your outstanding balance.  As each month allows for 3, 4, 5, lessons, tuition will remain the same each month. Will operate on 10-month season, September thru June.  All returned checks will be assessed a $25.00 fee.

Tuition is based on a 10 month dance year and will not be pro-rated for missed classes.  Months with missing classes and months with extra classes will all even out with dress rehearsals and extra practice.  Missed classes need to be made up within the missed month.  There is no discount for missed classes! You can make up missed classes by participating in another studio dance class that have availability.
