FAQ
You asked- we answered
I don’t see a schedule online. How do I know what classes to sign-up for?
Great question! Because our schedule has so many classes, rooms, and times, it can be extremely difficult to navigate. We also understand that it can be difficult to determine which class would be best suited for various students and levels. Because of these obstacles, we have decided to let our staff do the work for you! When you call or email to enroll your student in classes, we will help you determine which class level, style, and time would be the best fit for you. We will help you create a customized schedule that best fits your needs and wishes without the stress of trying to sift through a generic online schedule!
What costume fees should I expect?
The overall cost of each costume is broken up into two charges: a costume deposit & costume balance. The costume deposit is a one-time fee of $40 (per performing class) due by the end of November. The remaining costume balance will be posted on the account in the early Spring (this can typically range anywhere from $20-$30).
What is the costume deposit fee?
The costume deposit fee is a $40 non-refundable charge that helps secure a costume for your child. The good news is, the deposit will be applied to the overall cost of the costume, which means you won’t have to pay as much all at once.
How do I know if the studio is closed due to the weather or other emergency?
We will post any updates about unexpected studio closures on our Facebook Page and website.
What is the monthly tuition fee?
The monthly tuition rate is broken down by classes per family (in hours). For example, if you have 1 student enrolled in one 1hr class, your monthly tuition would be $65. If you have 2 students each enrolled in one 1.5hr class your monthly tuition would be $175. The more hours of classes, the better the savings! You can check out our tuition rates table here for more details.
Why am I being charged for a full month of tuition if there is a studio break?
Rather than charge the entire tuition for the annual session up front, we charge monthly installment fees. This means that the total for all classes and/or rehearsals that will take place throughout the dance year has been divided into equal monthly payments. Studio breaks and holidays have been taken into consideration and you do not pay for these missed classes. There are no per class rates (with the exception of Adult Drop-In rates) or refunds/credits for missed classes.
How do I pay?
We accept all forms of payment including cash, card, check, and Apple Pay. Please note that all card transactions and Apple Pay will be charged a $2.00 processing fee. We can keep your card on file for future transactions and charge your account after receiving approval from you. We also provide automatic-payments that will withdraw your monthly tuition (this will not include additional charges like costume or competition fees) on the first of each month for the annual session (10 months). Automatic-payments will expire after the final month in the session (June) and will need to be renewed with each annual session. Click HERE to make an online payment now!
How do I know what my student needs for performances?
All students will receive a “Costume Breakdown” sheet in the spring that outlines all details regarding hair, accessories, shoes, makeup, etc. Be sure to look through everything on the breakdown sheet so that you know what you need to purchase, sew, etc. to ensure that your student is ready to go for performance time! Please note: the breakdown sheet will list the overall price of the costume.- this is purely informational and does not mean you have an outstanding balance on your account. Please refer to your account statement to see if your costume is paid in full or not.
