Tuition
Class tuition is figured in quarterly amounts, based on the number of hours per week in which a student is enrolled. Each quarter consists of three months, with the first quarter beginning in September of each year. Tuition payments are non-refundable and are not adjusted for student absences, dropped classes or quarters containing shorter months. Payments may be made on a quarterly or a monthly basis. A 10% discount is given for tuition paid on a quarterly basis. Quarterly payments must be made on the first lesson of each quarter in order for the discount to apply. The first month of each quarter is as follows:
first quarter - September
second quarter - December
third quarter - March
fourth quarter - June
Payments made monthly are due on the first lesson of each month. A $5 late fee should be added to payments made after the 15th of the month. Students enrolling after the first lesson of a quarter must pay tuition on a monthly basis until the first month of the following quarter, at which time they may opt to pay on a quarterly basis.

Enrollment
Enrollment cards are available in the waiting area at the studio or may be mailed by request. Both sides of the card should be completed. Cards may be returned by mail or placed in the black payment box, on the wall, in the waiting area at the studio. A $5 registration fee is due at the time of enrollment. Once a student is enrolled at the studio, subsequent registration fees are waived if he/she continues lessons year round. Students who drop classes for a period of time, must pay the registration fee at the time of re-enrollment.
Studio Policies
Attendance:
Regular attendance is paramount to a student's progress in class. Instructors rely on parents' efforts to insure that students are consistent in their attendance. Class fees are not adjusted for missed classes. When absence is unavoidable, students may attend an appropriate alternative class, if available, at any time during the year. Students whose attendance record has a negative affect on their progress or the progress of the class as a whole (particularly in preparation for the annual recital), may have to be placed in a less challenging class, more fitting to their schedule. Multiple absences in the months leading up to the annual recital may result in a student's removal from a section of a dance or an entire dance. Consistent tardiness, like poor attendance, negatively affects a student's progress. At the very least, it is a disruption to the class. More importantly, continued tardiness reduces the student's warm-up time and delays his/her technical development. Arriving late to class results in not being properly prepared for the remainder of the class, placing a student at risk of falling behind the skill level of the class or worse, injury. If tardiness becomes a problem for a student, it may be necessary to implement a policy forbidding that student to participate in any class to which he/she arrives late. Due to safety concerns, students enrolled in Pointe class who continually arrive late to either Pointe or Ballet classes may be asked to discontinue Pointe until consistent, timely arrival to class can be expected.
