A $25.00 annual registration fee is required per family to enroll one or more dancers. This helps to the cover administrative costs for the studio.
Monthly pricing is based on a once-a-week class that meets four times a month on average. *Some months may contain 5 weeks or 3 weeks. Tuition does not adjust based on calendar weeks or holidays.
Tuition is due on the 1st day of the month with a 5 day grace period. On the 6th day, a $5 late fee will be charged for that month.
30 minute class = $40 monthly ($10 per class)
45 minute class = $50 monthly ($12.50 per class)
MULTI-CLASS SAME CHILD DISCOUNT as follows:
Monthly cost (unit price per each class)
Class length (30 min) (45 min)
class 1 $40 (10) $50 (12.5)
class 2 $36 (9) $46 (11.50)
class 3 $32 (8) $42 (10.5)
Example: Your child enrolls in one 45 minute class on one day and two 30 minute classes on a different day.
That equals ($50 + 36 + 32) = $118/month
UNLIMITED GROUP CLASSES PER CHILD: $175/month
SIBLING DISCOUNT 10% off sibling tuition. For example, first child’s tuition is full price. Second or third child is 10% off his/her tuition.
*If you are interested in taking classes but do not wish to commit to the monthly tuition, you may purchase a punch card. Makes a great gift for the special dancer in your life!
*Punch Card for 10 classes = $135 or $13.50 per class Same price regardless of class length. Must present card at beginning of each class.
*Drop-in rate for single class = $15 per class
Friday Adult special: one class for $15 or two classes for $20
Solo lessons = $70 per hour ($35 for 30 min; $50 for 45 min)
*Dancers without a monthly class commitment will not be eligible to participate in a choreographed group routine because they are not there on a regular basis to learn and practice the number. However, if the punch-card participant or regular drop-in dancer is interested in being a part of the shows, let us know. We want all dancers to feel excited about participating in shows and will find a way to include them!
