Studio Policies
Fees
Our classes run from September through recital in June. All holidays and recital rehearsals have been taken into consideration in the fees. The 10 months of tuition have been broken down into 10 equal payments, with the final payment due by June 1st. All tuition payments are due on the first of each month. Any payments not received by the 10th of the month are subject to a $15.00 late fee. We offer a pre-payment discount as follows: 3 months prepayment receives a 5% discount, 6 months a 7% discount and, 10 months a 10% discount off the total tuition amount.
Class fees per month are as follows:
All 30 minute classes................$30.00
1- 45-min class.........................$40.00
2- 45-min classes......................$75.00
3- 45-min classes......................$100.00
4- 45-min classes......................$125.00
Additional 45-min classes...........$20.00
For each one-hour class add.......$6.00
*Boys dance at ½ price!
A non-refundable costume deposit of $60.00 per class is due by
November 30th. If the actual costume cost is less than $60.00, we
will apply the credit to your account. If the costume cost is more
than the deposit we will bill you for the additional cost, and this
balance will be due by January 12th, 2012. We try to choose a
costume that is appropriate to the age of the students, as well as
the recital theme. Our costumes are selected from a wide range of
companies who in the past have sent us a reliable product. These
costumes are not custom made. Students are measured and sized
according to charts provided by each costume company. Alterations,
if needed, are the responsibility of each student.
We offer a variety of class days and times. Please be advised that
we require a minimum of five dancers per class for that class to
run. The class schedule will be finalized in October. For returning
students, your recommended classes have been highlighted. This does
not mean that your spot has been reserved. Please complete the
enclosed enrollment form and return it with your first month’s
tuition to reserve your spot in the highlighted classes. If these
classes do not fit in your schedule please contact the studio for
alternate class suggestions.
Make-Up Lessons
Our faculty wants all students to have the same amount of training as their classmates before sharing a stage in June. We know this will make a more confident dancer, as well as a positive recital experience. Make-up lessons are offered for students. There are no refunds/deductions for missed classes and they must be made up within 30 days. Please stop at the front desk to find out when your make up classes are. Consistent attendance is required to maintain your class placement.
In case of inclement weather, we follow the Troy School District school closings. If the Troy School District is closed, the studio will also be closed. Please call the studio voicemail to confirm studio closings.
