Responsibilities of the parent/guardian 

It is essential that communication lines be open and available at all times. Parents are expected to thoroughly read the policies as stated and agree to all terms upon enrollment.

Registration and Enrollment 

Upon creating an account in the parent portal, you will select the classes in which you wish to enroll your child in. You will be expected to pay the registration fee and the first month’s (September) tuition upon registering for classes. The registration fee secures your child a spot in his/her selected classes and is non-refundable.   

Registration Fee:  $55+tax 

Monthly Tuition Payments 

All payments are to be made within your parent portal. For your convenience there is an auto-pay option to assist in never missing a payment or paying a late fee. Monthly tuition is charged on the 1st of every month from Oct. – June. September tuition is paid in August at the time of enrollment. Tuition not paid by the 1st day of each month will be considered late and will incur a late fee of $15.00 plus tax. 

Payments made by cash or check may be dropped in the mailbox located in the main lobby.

**Tuition Payments, Penalties & Late Fees

Classes – Monthly tuition for classes is figured based on the number of hours spent in class weekly. This has been adjusted to provide a discounted rate as more time in class is added to the student’s week. 

**Tuition payments run September 1st through June 1st. Tuition is due by the 1st of each month and can be made by cash, check or credit card. All payments made by cash or check MUST be received prior to the 1st. .  

All tuition and other payments must be paid within your parent portal in DanceStudio Pro. For your convenience there is an auto-pay option to eliminate any missed payments and/or late fees.  

Declined Transactions, ISF, Late Fees – In the event your check does not clear or we experience a declined transaction there will be a $30.00 service fee added to your account. You will then have 5 days to contact us and make arrangements for the balance to be paid. If we do not hear from you within those 5 days, a late fee of $15.00 plus tax will also be added to your account. 

All past due balances/fees will incur a late fee of $15. plus tax and the student will not be able to return to class until the balance has been paid in full.

Sibling Discounts

Costumes and Recital Fee –

Costumes – Your child generally will have a separate costume for each dance. The deposit is $60 deposit per costume and deposits must be paid in order for your child’s costumes to be ordered. We have two deposit due dates, Oct. 1st and Nov. 1st. 

The average cost of one costume is approx. $65-75 depending on the size. Measurements are taken in classes in October and the ordering begins in November. If you prefer to measure your son or daughter or be present when the measurements are taken, please speak with your child’s teacher in advance. Once ordering is complete, invoices are issued in February for the remaining balance due, minus your paid deposit. All alterations and exchange fees, should a costume not fit, are the responsibility of the parent, unless otherwise noted. 

No costumes will be sent home with students until paid for in full.

*Recital Fee – $80 first child, $75 second child, or $215 for families with 3 or more children. The recital fee is non-refundable and helps cover the cost of our spring production. The recital fee includes 3 complimentary tickets for one dancer, 5 for two siblings and 6 for families with 3 or more children.  The Recital Fee is Due March 1st.

As with monthly tuition, the costume deposits and recital fees are due on the 1st of the month that is designated. All fees not paid prior to the 1st will be charged to the card on file. When you pay a costume deposit you are confirming with us that your child will be performing in the recital. Costume deposits are non-refundable.

Refund Policy 

Tuition is non -refundable and non -transferable. No refunds will be given for recital fees, registration fees, tuition or costumes. Dropping is strongly discouraged. If you need to drop a class for any reason, you must fill out drop form. If a drop form is needed, please see the teacher for the class in which it is needed for. A student is not considered dropped until the form has been signed by the teacher and presented to office management. All Fees will continue until that time and will need to be paid in full.  

Extended Illness or Injury – Although we hope to never have to deal with these situations, they do sometimes occur. Each situation will be handled based on the individual and predicted recovery time. Unfortunately, costumes cannot be refunded, nor will tuition paid prior to the occurence. But we will work with you on tuition and other such fees if necessary. If this were to ever occur, we expect you to contact the office or director immediately to set up a time to meet and discuss options.  

Communication

Please keep the front desk up to date with your current contact information. Should an emergency arise or reason for celebration or concern come about, we want everyone to feel comfortable making contact and keeping communication open. Your child’s education and success while attending Dance FX is very important to us.

• Tuition is determined by the amount of time a student spends in classes weekly at Dance FX.

• Tuition paid by cash or check must be received prior to the 1st day of every month. If payment is not received prior to the 1st, it is charged to the credit or debit card on file. 

Based on the total number of costumes your dancer will need for the annual recital. First deposit is due Oct.1st and the second is due Nov.1st. Remaining costume balances due will be invoiced and delivered in February.  Balance is due upon receipt.

Please remember, if paying with cash or check, payment MUST be recieved prior to the due date to prevent your card on file from being charged.

There is a $60 deposit required per costume. We have two due dates in which your total deposit will be divided into equal payments for each month.
