Financial Policies

Your child is very important to us, and we want to continue our legacy of providing safety and excellence in performing arts education. Therefore, class size is limited, and upon your child's registration and tuition payment, "her" or "his" spot is reserved and tuition is not refunded for missing a class.  We do offer make-up classes if available for your child's level / age. Please ask! If you choose to un-enroll, please let us know as soon as possible to avoid further charges. 

Mid-Session Enrollment 

 If your child begins class mid month, we will prorate. However, it is most important your child has a positive and fun learning experience and this means to begin at an appropriate level for safety and proper skill development!  If our class is full or there is not a class mid year for her / him that is appropriate, we will be honest, put you on a waiting list or offer another option if available. We want your child to feel successful and have a fun experience too!

Refunds

Tuition Refunds 
If you are not entirely happy with our programs we will happily refund 100% of your unused tuition or apply it toward another program within 30 days. Let's try to figure out how we can make your child's experience better and make the changes necessary to do so. If you still desire a refund after your first 30 days, you certainly will be refunded the unused portion of tuition.

​**Refunds are only given to active students for serious illness / injury or job relocation. A parent must notify the desk within 2 weeks of any issue. If we do not hear from you within that time, a refund may not be given as your child has held that spot.  Refunds are only given for unused portion of tuition.

Costume Fee Refunds
Costume deposit refunds will be given after communication has been made via email to Lara, our Business Manager, that your dancer(s) will not be performing in our Spring Performance at the Dogwood in June.
*No deposits will be refunded after January 1, 2019.*

Billing

Financial Policy:
We are a 10 month program, September through our mid- June performance, based on an average of 38 weeks per year. While we are a 10 month program, we bill monthly. If there are five classes per month we do not charge extra, and if there are less we do not give credit. We do not charge for show week rehearsals or any extra rehearsals that a specific class may need to be prepared. 

Payments:
Payment is due the 1st of each month with methods accepted being cash, check or credit/debit card. Two payment methods MUST be stored on file. Methods accepted are debit and credit cards.  
​

​Where to Find Your Bill:
You can always find your bill through the online payment system, JackRabbit. We have set up a parent portal where you can log-in, see your child's enrollment, their bill, etc. 

Additional Fees

Late Fees
A $25 fee will be charged for late payment. No one likes these fees especially our business, however, it is the only way to make sure we can keep our doors open and the joy of teaching dance, acrobatics and gymnastics flourishing. 

Returned Checks
A $25 fee will be charged for any returned check. Additional late fees may apply.

We reserve the right to send unpaid accounts to collections or to seek legal remedy.

Recital Fees

Costume Deposit
A costume deposit is a $60 payment toward your spring performance costume. We aim to budget our costumes between $60-$75 which includes all pieces necessary except shoes for their spectacular spring performance. Your family account will be charged the remainder of the cost in the spring session if there is one.  All final tuition and costumes payments must be made 2 weeks prior to show.  

Performance Fee
A $10-25 performance fee is charged for families based on the number of performance pieces. There is much time and supplies needed to order and professionally organize and distribute each dancer's special costume beyond the "costume cost" charged. We also have an on-site seamstress for all performances. This fee covers these costs.
