Tuition Information
Tuition for lessons is based on the school year. It is due on the 1st of each month – September through May. A $15 late fee will be added if payment is not received by the 10th. Statements will be emailed the 3rd week of every month to those accounts not set up for autopay. We offer the convenience of paying your tuition with your credit card, check, auto draft of your credit card or checking account or online from our website. If you choose the automatic bank draft, please send us a voided check or your routing and account numbers. For credit card draft, please complete the form with that information. All of this information can also be entered from your customer portal. Autopay drafts will be processed on the 25th. The annual fee is based on the length of the weekly class(es). A technique class such as ballet, jazz, or tap taken as a second class has a reduced rate. If you withdraw from a class or make a change in classes, please notify us in writing by using an ADD/DROP card available in the studio lobby. We do not refund missed classes but you are welcome to attend up to 3 make-up classes a year. Please check with your instructor for an appropriate class to attend as a make-up. The tuition is the same each month, regardless of the number of classes held in that month.
SPRING CONCERTS – May 15th, 16th and 17th at Queens University:
Sarah Belk Gambrell Center for the Arts
Spring Concerts, our celebration of our dance year together, will be held on Saturday, May 16th and Sunday, May 17th. The Company Showcase will be held on Friday, May 15th. Dress rehearsals will be at the Queens University theater during the week before the Spring Concert. We will order the costumes during our Winter Break, so please let us know by December 1st if you are not able to participate in the spring concert. The cost to be in the performance is a costume (approximately $100, which includes the tights and necessary accessories) and a recital fee of $60.00 per student due November 1st. We will charge a non-refundable $50.00 costume deposit due December 1st. The deposit is non-refundable because we will have already ordered and paid for the costumes. They cannot be returned to the costume companies. The costume balance will be due March 1st.
Policies to Remember
- We do not close the studio for teacher workdays.
- Unless a Drop/Add card has been completed for your child, you will be responsible for paying tuition each month, even if your child has not been attending dance.
- For the safety and health of our students and staff, please do not send your child to class if there is an indication of fever or flu-like symptoms.
- All classes start and end at the published class times. However, teachers may take a few minutes at either the beginning or end of class to take care of administrative duties such as taking roll, addressing parent questions, making announcements, etc.
- To minimize distractions, class disruptions and accidents in the hallways, siblings of dancers may not be left unattended and should remain seated in the lobby or hallway while waiting. Dancers under the age of 8 may not be left unattended by a parent before, after, or between classes. For the safety of all our dancers and staff, please discuss with dancers over 8 the importance of waiting inside the studio for you to pick them up. Your prompt arrival for pick-up and drop-off of your dancer will also greatly assist our staff in keeping class schedules running on-time.
