How tuition works

What sets tuition

Tuition depends on the track, the stage and how many classes a week a dancer takes. The recreational track meets once or twice a week for 45 to 60 minutes; the company track meets three to four days for 90 minutes. Our figures are on the registration page, and we are glad to talk them through by phone, in English or in Spanish.

Registration

A yearly registration covers the studio's file for your dancer, the studio's insurance and your place in the parent portal. It is due when you register for your first session.

Billing

Tuition is billed monthly, by autopay through the parent portal, or by the session if you would rather pay once. Costumes and the recital are billed separately, before the show.

Siblings

A second dancer from the same family is handled differently from the first. Ask us when you register, and we will tell you how.

Missed classes and make-ups

A missed class can be made up in another class of the same stage within the same session. Message the studio and we will find a time. Company classes can be made up in the Saturday conditioning class.

Uniforms, costumes and other costs

The recreational track has costumes for the May recital, one for each class that dances, ordered in the winter and billed before the show. The recital has a production charge for each dancer, and guests need tickets. Shoes and dancewear are bought by the family. The company track adds an audition charge, entries to regional events and travel for those that need it, and we share the season's events before the audition so families can plan. We do not print figures here; the registration page has them.

Withdrawing

We ask for a month's notice before a dancer leaves, so the place can go to someone on the waitlist. A costume already ordered for the recital is still billed, and a company dancer's event entries already paid are the family's.
