Multi-Class Bundle

For dancer’s interested in taking more than just one class, monthly tuition will be based on total hours spent in the studio per week, not the length or number of individual classes.

Total Weekly Class Time	Monthly Cost
Up to 1 hour	$90
1.25 – 2 hours	$160
2.25 – 3.5 hours	$220
3.75 – 5 hours	$280
5.25 – 6.5 hours	$340
6.75+ hours	$400 (cap)

Please be aware that tuition adjustments must be made manually by our staff. As a result, your initial email confirmation may not reflect the correct bundled rate. Don’t worry- we will review and update your account accordingly.

For families with multiple dancers, we also offer a 15% sibling discount on each additional child’s tuition.

Monthly Tuition Information

Tuition Due Date & Payment Method

Tuition is due the 1st of every month and will be conveniently and automatically drafted on the 1st of each month using the credit card on file. Payments not made by the 10th, will incur a $10 late fee.

Class Schedule & Make-up Classes

Tuition is based on 4 week months. Please note that tuition remains unchanged even during months with holidays or studio closures. However, we understand the importance of consistency in training, and dancers are welcome to makeup missed classes. Please check with the front desk before attending a make-up class.

Refund Policy for Missed Classes

Regrettably, we are unable to offer refunds for missed classes. However, we encourage students to utilize the make-up class options.

DROP-IN CLASS FEES

2024-2025 Drop-In

Drop-in classes are open to current or new dancers. You’ll find eligible classes marked as drop-in available on our schedule. Please note: classes currently marked as “drop-in” available may fill to capacity during the season. Drop-in availability may change throughout the year as class spot priority will be given to enrolled dancers.
