TUITION & FEES 2026-27

Enrollment Period:

Our school year runs from Monday, August 17, 2026 to Sunday, June 13, 2027. Unless otherwise stated, enrollment is a financial commitment running the course of the school year with the first payment due. on August 1s, 2026 and the last payment due on June 1, 2027. 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. We regularly offer short-term four- or six-week classes which may fit your situation better. These short-term mini courses offer the added benefit of no registration fee.
 

Due at Registration:

Regardless of whether enrolling in August or April, the first months’ tuition plus an annual $46.90 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. 

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. The upfront lump sum discount is for tuition only and does not include registration, costume or recital fees. This discount ends January 15, 2027. 

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 $46.90 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, 2027. Parents are advised in December of total costume fees due. To set expectations, last season, Ballet I students’ costume fees averaged $115 and included 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.

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. .
