Tuition

Payment Policy (effective August 1, 2026)

Annual Registration Fee

$50 per student or $55 per family (Non - Refundable)

Class Tuition: Based on a 10-month pay schedule for 11 months of class 

Tuition is charged monthly and is based on an 11-month calendar from August 3rd, 2026, through June 26th, 2027. There is a set monthly payment from August through May and no payment in June.

Classes at the Dance Academy continue after our performances in December and June. Payment for these months must still be made, even if your student will not participate in class. If you know that your student will not be attending during that particular month, they can take make-up classes at any time during the school year. 

If you withdraw your student from the Dance Academy after the December performances and then decide to rejoin in January, you will be required to pay a $50.00 Registration Fee, and your child will not be able to take make-up classes. Once you withdraw from a class, there is no guarantee that your child's place in that class will be held as we enroll new students in January.

Monthly Tuition is Due on the 1st of the month.
Auto-charge can be set up in the studio.
There is a $25.00 late fee after the 5th of the month.
Return Check Fee $35.00
No Pro-Rating – No Refunds – No Credit

Withdrawal

Withdrawing a student from a class must be done in person and recorded in writing at the front desk. Telling a teacher will not be accepted as withdrawal. If a student has not withdrawn from a class by the end of the month, they will be considered enrolled for the next month and will be charged automatically. In case of failure to withdraw before the 1st of the next month, auto-charged tuition will NOT be refunded. Withdrawals from DAS following Nutcracker, Holiday of Mini Performances will not be processed until the Spring session. December tuition is mandatory for every enrolled student. This policy applies whether or not a student participates in the performance.

Attendance & Make-up Classes

Tuition is not pro-rated or refunded due to absences or unexpected closures (ie. hurricanes). However, dancers are strongly encouraged to make up any missed classes within two months of their absence. Make-up classes must be taken at the same technique level or lower. Please coordinate with the front desk to schedule a make-up class.
