Registration Fee
A $42.00 non-refundable registration fee per student is required once a year. Please add this

Tuition
The price of tuition is based on an average of classes for the entire dance season (2023-2024) [not per class or week] and are broken down into (10) installment payments which are the same each month. This also includes holidays/closures or student absences.
Drop-In rate (Per Class) ..........................$20.00
2nd Child in Family: subtract $6.00 off monthly tuition
3rd Child or More in Family: subtract $8.00 off monthly tuition
Payment Options: Credit/Debit Card (Visa, Discover, MasterCard) & eCheck
Academy Pro
(formerly Carte Blanche)
Formerly named Carte Blanche, Academy Pro is for the more serious students who are truly invested in their dance education and time at the Academy. By paying one flat fee per month/quarter the student is entitled to take as many classes as they can fit into their schedule. Besides our additional styles of dance (hip hop, musical theatre, etc.) students may take additional core classes at their level or below in core classes (ballet, tap, jazz). Students must still register for any additional classes through the Office for scheduling and class size availability. This is a bargain since all classes except competition and those above their level are open to Academy Pro students.
Make-Up Classes
Make-up classes are available through arrangement with the Office and are strongly encouraged if a class is missed. Students can attend any other available class at their level or below.
If there is a circumstance where 'virtual' make-up classes are needed due to studio or state-wide shutdowns,
prior notification will be sent through email.
Billing Policies
We do not send out monthly statements.
All charges & tuition are posted to each family’s online portal account.

Until further notice, the Academy is no longer accepting CASH or paper CHECK Payments.
➙ If for any reason a student fails to take lessons (in-person or virtual) paid for in advance, a credit will be given and those lessons must be used within a period of a year after payment. Tuition Rates are not prorated based on the number of classes in a given month. No portion of fees, paid or outstanding is refundable in the event of absence, withdrawal, or dismissal from Academy Dance Center.
➙ IMPORTANT: A class will be canceled within the first 6 weeks of the start of fall classes only if there are not enough students registered for that time slot (below 3 students). In this event, students must select another scheduled time slot or comparable style class.
➙ UNLESS ALL TUITION IS PAID IN FULL, a student will NOT be allowed to participate in any annual productions. [This also includes full payment for the Minimum Ticket Purchase Policy or Ticket Exception Policy]
✸ Until further notice, the Academy is no longer accepting CASH or paper CHECK Payments. In the event CHECK payments resume, a $35.00 service charge will be added for any checks returned to the Academy for NSF.
✸ LATE FEE: A $35.00 per month additional tuition charge will be made to any account whose tuition is not paid in full (15) days before the end of any quarter or late on monthly payments. The $35.00 penalty will be applied each additional month that the tuition remains delinquent.
