TUITION & FEES 2025-26

Enrollment Period:

Our school year runs from August 18, 2025 to June 14, 2026. Unless otherwise stated, enrollment is a financial commitment running the course of the school year with the last payment due on June 1, 2026. Tuition is a fixed annual amount, broken into equal monthly installments for your convenience. All monthly installments are the same amount, regardless of how many weeks are in the month. 

We do not offer drop-in or pay-as-you-go options. 

Due at Registration:

Regardless whether enrolling in August or April, the first months’ tuition plus annual registration fee are due at registration.

Monthly Autopay Installments: Autopay with a valid means of payment is mandatory upon registration unless paying a single lump for entire year. Tuition is collected on the first of each month via autopay using a credit/debit card or ACH bank draft. 

Cash Payments: Sorry, we do not accept cash payments.

Annual Lump Sum Payment Discount: We offer the option to pay the entire year’s tuition upfront at a 7.5% discount. This discount ends January 15, 2026. 

Multi-Class Discount: Tiered discounts are available for students taking multiple classes per week. See schedule below.

1. A Non-Refundable Annual Registration Fee of $45.00 per student per year is charged at registration.

2. A Non-refundable costume fee (will vary by class), is due on or before January 15, 2026. Parents are advised in December of total costume fees due. To set expectations, Ballet I students costume fees will average $115 (increases anticipated due to tariffs imposed on overseas producers), and include tights. Students taking multiple classes will have a separate costume fee for each class. 

At the parent’s request, costume fees can be broken up into three installments December 15, January 1, and final payment January 15. 

3. A Non-refundable Recital Fee of $105 per student recital fee will charged to every student on April 1st. The recital fee covers costs associated with organizing the recital, venue rental, tech crew, security, additional insurance, etc.

4. Credit Card Processing Fees (as of June 1, 2025) are: 3.05% + $0.35 per transaction with Dance Studio Pro, our payment processing partner. We will keep families updated with changes to processing fees. 

ACH Draft Processing Fees: 1% + $0.20 per transaction with Dance Studio Pro, our payment processing partner.

5. A $20.00 Late/Declined Payment Fee is automatically charged when a payment fails a second time. The second attempt to process payment is typically made on the 3rd of the month, giving families 48 hours after the first attempt to resolve any issues before the fee is applied.

· Free or paid trial classes are not available for private instruction. A single class will be scheduled to try out the program. The fee for the single class is $37.50 and must be paid in advance before scheduling the lesson. 

· Make-up classes for private students are offered for instructor illness or other unforeseen circumstances such as severe weather closure.

· Make-up classes for planned absences, eg vacation, medical appointments, can be arranged with ample advance notice, at the mutual agreement of teacher and student/parent.

· No refunds or make-ups for "no call/no show" private students, or for late cancellations, or for those who notify us after the scheduled session.

Fundraising opportunities are available to all students in the fall and spring through our partnership with Midland Fundraising. Fundraising is primarily through online platforms where students share store links with friends and family who order from featured online catalogs. 

Additionally, students aged 10 and older enrolled in two or more classes per week may apply to become a teacher's assistant with our pre-school classes. Hourly earnings are applied as credits against the next month's tuition, costume fees, and recital fees. .
