Payments and Refunds
Tuition is paid monthly and is non-refundable. Tuition payments remain the same each month regardless of the student’s attendance, studio closures, or holidays. Tuition is not prorated if a student misses their class and it is not based on how many of their classes a student may or may not attend in a given month. If students are absent or if a class falls on a holiday or a break, they are welcome to make up those missed classes. (See makeup policy) We ask that you give us written notice when dropping a class (using an Withdraw Request Form) so that your tuition can be adjusted accordingly, in a timely manner, and your account will be charged accurately the following month. Payments must be kept current.
Autopay is preferred and encouraged. Autopay is a direct withdrawal from a credit or debit card. Charges are automatically deducted on the 1st of the month. Autopay can be started and stopped at any time. There are no long-term contracts with the studio. Please remember to keep your Autopay account information current. A charge will come back as declined if your account information has changed, if you have a new credit card number, or even a new expiration date. Any declined Autopay transactions will result in a $25 fee charged to your account.
We do not mail or print invoices. Tuition is due the same time each month: on the 1st, but not considered late until after the 7th. After the 7th, a $25 late fee is automatically added to your account. Checks returned due to NSF will be charged a $25 fee.
A non-refundable registration fee of $30 for the first dancer and $20 each additional family member is due upon registration.
