Payments
Tuition is calculated yearly into 10 equal installments.
Upon Registration, installment 10 will be due and counted as a registration fee. This is non-refundable. This fee will be applied toward your final installment of tuition and secures your spot in class.
Installment 1 will be due the first lesson of September.
All tuition is due the first lesson of each month and no later than the 7th of the month to receive the flat rate. After the 7th day of the month the tuition will increase $10 per class. If a payment is not made within 30 days the student will not be allowed to participate in class. All tuition is non—refundable. Class prices do not change if there are more or less weeks in a month.
You will be charged the same amount every month regardless of your attendance in class. There is no single class fee.
*** NEW POLICY - After the new year (January 1st) all tuition must be paid up to date in order for the student to return to classes. This is to finalize accounts for the prior year.
Calendar
In your Parent Portal under "calendar" you will find all of our important dates and vacation days.
Snow Days
If the Mt.Morris School is closed for a snow day on the day of class, The Dance Academy is automatically closed.
Solo & Duet Classes
You MUST be enrolled in a class of the subject that you wish to take a Solo or Duet in. These lessons are reserved for highly motivated students and may choose one dance style with teachers approval.
Missed Classes
There are NO refunds for missed classes. Students may only make up a class due to illness and we must have 24 hour notice. Group classes will be scheduled for any private or semi-private missed lessons. If the class is canceled by the teacher a makeup class will be assigned to students. We do the best we can to notify you through the "REMIND" app if classes are canceled due to bad weather.
Costumes
All students MUST have a costume to be in the recital.
A $44 costume deposit is due by October, 31st with the remaining balance due by March 15th.
Once you order a costume (costume orders are placed on November 1st.) you are obligated to pay for it in full. Costumes cannot be canceled once they are ordered.
All recital costumes must be ordered through the studio.
Costumes that need alterations will be the responsibility of the student.
Costumes will be handed out when your account balance is paid up to date.
Recital
Recital tickets will need to be purchased to help cover expenses of our production.
