Installments are based on each Session Tuition divided into 5 equal payments.
We offer tuition installments due the first of every month throughout the entire session.
Session One: Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan

We do not offer month to month enrollment.
If you choose to pay by installments, opposed to in-full at the time of registration, your financial obligation and installments will continue through an entire session.
Session Tuition is calculated to include holidays, vacation days, occasional cancellation due to inclement weather, staff illness, or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.
Tuition is NOT calculated on a per class basis or monthly basis.

- Installment toward tuition does not change regardless of attendance or the number of classes in any given month throughout the session.

- Make-up classes, refunds or credits are not offered for dancers that miss class for personal reasons.
- Your Payment plus an annual registration fee is due upon registering. A place in class will not be secured until these payments are made.
