Full tuition is due by the 10th of each month. Tuition is paid through automatic withdrawal from your credit or debit account. If you prefer another payment plan, please check with the office.
We will accept cash, checks, or money orders for tuition if received by the 7th of the month. Please write your child’s name in the memo portion of the check. If you pay with cash, please ask for a receipt.
We offer a 5% discount on annual tuition that is paid in full by October 1st.
Please note that tuition is based on an average of 4 classes/month. Extra classes in a month offset studio closures and holidays. Tuition does not include the registration fee, dance wear, shoes, costumes, recital tickets, private lessons, or master classes.
Tuition
All students are expected to attend their regularly scheduled classes. Each class offers a step forward in the educational process. A missed class could leave a child one step behind the other students. Missing class, especially during recital time, could result in frustration for students, teachers, and their classmates.
Dance is a physical activity that requires the body to be warmed up in order to execute movement safely. Late students miss the proper warm-up and/or barre and may sustain injury. Dancers arriving up to 15 minutes late may be asked to sit out and observe. Dancers arriving more than halfway through class will not be allowed to enter the room.
Students who miss a class will have the opportunity to make it up with a similar class. All make-ups must be completed within the month, and you must schedule a make-up with the desk.
An annual registration fee of $25/dance ($40/family) covers the cost of mailings, insurance, rehearsals, and other administrative costs.

Every few months, all lost and found items will be donated to the BDP for fundraising purposes.
Safety issues and legal responsibilities make it impossible for us to allow students to bring visitors into the classroom. Students should not invite siblings, other relatives, or friends to their classes with the exception of special events and in-school performances.
We ask that parents please remain in lobby unless otherwise invited.
