Tuition
We are happy to announce lowered tuition rates for the 2009 - 2010 school year, to encourage the inclusion of the "dance arts" in the monthly budgets of our studio family. We believe in the importance of the arts in our lives and teach dance as a creative outlet and expression, not as a competitive sport. We offer recreational classes as well as advanced levels with high technical expectations.
Tuition is based on an average of four lessons per month and is not prorated. Short months will be made up by long months later in the year. Absolutely no refunds or deductions are given for missed classes. Attendance is your responsibility, and is important because students who miss classes, lose interest as they fall behind. Make up classes are available. Year end attendance recognition is given because a successful year requires commitment. Tuition is payable in advance, on the first lesson of each month; you may pay your tuition in person at the studio, by mail or sign up for our automatic monthly credit card payment plan. Tuition for 2009 - 2010 is set at the following monthly family rates:
