TUITION POLICIES
Tuition is paid on a monthly basis and is due by the fifth of each month. After the fifth, a $10 late fee will be applied to family accounts. No credit is given for student absences or missed classes due to weather cancellations. Students are free to makeup missed classes.
A 10 percent discount is given to each additional sibling on the same account.
Monthly statements are sent only to overdue balances. Otherwise, account statements are available only by request.
Any student with an overdue balance of more than 45 days will not be allowed into class until payment in full is received. Overdue balances must be paid by cash, money order, or bank check.
The returned check fee is $30. After the third returned check, checks will no longer be an acceptable form of payment for that account.
Account holders may opt to pay tuition for the year in order to receive a 10% discount.
Costumes
All recital costume payments are due by December 15. Costumes will not be given out unless full costume payment has been received. A $10 late fee per costume will be added for the missed deadline. Please see the Studio Policies for more detail on costume pricing and payment.

We are encouraging dancewear that matches dancers' skin tone, particularly for dancers with darker skin. Dance supply stores now sell dance shoes and tights that match many different skin tones. We love it! This is not required, but we do support it!
For Ballet classes: whether wearing pink tights and shoes or those that match skin tone, please make sure that dancers' shoes and tights match (ex: pink tights with pink shoes or skin tone tights with skin tone shoes)
