Registration requires paying one tuition installment plus the season membership fee of $70 per dancer for Basic Membership or $95 for Premium Membership.

Tuition rates apply to the full season (including studio closures and holidays), not by the number of classes in a given month. Tuition is not prorated for student absences.

For our Dance program, tuition is calculated for the full 2026-2027 season which includes a minimum of 32 lessons and is payable on a monthly installment plan, consisting of 10 equal payments. The 2026-2027 season starts September 14, 2026 and ends June 12, 2027. Tuition installment #1 is due on August 1 for the September billing period. Installments #2-#9 are due on the 1st from October 2026 through May 2027. Installment #10 is due on May 15, 2027. This model allows for easier account billing and a set monthly tuition payment.

For our Gymnastics, Tumbling, and Aerial Silks programs, tuition is calculated for the full 2026-2027 season which includes a minimum of 30 lessons and is payable on a monthly installment plan, consisting of 9 equal payments. The 2026-2027 season starts September 14, 2026 and ends May 29, 2027. Tuition installment #1 is due on August 1 for the September billing period. Installments #2-#9 are due on the 1st from October 2026 through May 2027. This model allows for easier account billing and a set monthly tuition payment.

A valid credit/debit card or checking/savings account must be kept on file for all accounts which will be used for automatic payments on scheduled due dates. All credit card payments made with the following payment methods will automatically be surcharged 2.79% plus $.30 per transaction: Visa, Master Card, and Discover. It is the account holder's responsibility to maintain a valid payment method on file with the studio. Families wishing to pay by cash may do so during regular office hours, provided payment is received before 6:00 pm on the payment due date. If a due date falls on a weekend, holiday, or any day the office is closed, cash payments must be received by 6:00 pm on the last business day the office is open prior to the due date. Any unpaid balance remaining after the due date will be processed using the payment method on file.  To maintain consistent account processing, the studio does not routinely allow payments to be split across multiple payment methods or multiple payment date.

Please note that monthly invoices are not sent out; however you will receive a receipt of payment after the auto draft.

Accounts not paid within terms for 10 days are subject to an accruing 5% monthly finance charge. The studio reserves the right to discontinue services until paid. Accounts more than 60 days past due may be submitted to collection services and result in withdrawal of the student from class and any pending events at the studio. In order to re-register, accounts must be brought current and new membership fees will apply. Non Sufficient Funds ("NSF") on auto-debit or auto-charge payments will incur a $35 NSF fee which will be charged to your account and paid by the next payment to the studio.

Tuition, membership fees, and recital/event fees are not refundable for any reason. Refunds are only issued when CDC cancels a class due to low enrollment.

Account credit will be issued in rare circumstances. All credits on accounts will be applied to any studio tuition due within one calendar year or will be forfeited.

There is no refund or credit for missed classes due to any of the following reasons: student absences related to illness, school events, vacation nor severe weather, rolling blackouts, teacher absence, or governmental advisory.

In our Dance Program, Christmas Showcase costume fees will be automatically charged to your account on October 15 and Spring Recital costume fees will be on February 15.

Performance-related packages for our Dance program will be auto drafted from your account on March 15.

Event-related packages for our Gymnastics/Tumbling and Aerial Silks programs will be auto drafted from your account on April 15.

For your convenience, and to reserve a space for the following season, season membership fees will be automatically renewed and applied to your account on May 15, 2027, unless the Membership Change form to opt out is completed before that date. Additional information will be sent out about Rollover Membership later in the season.

There is a one-month minimum for all lessons. A one-month notice from the first of the month is required to discontinue any payments. To drop a class or withdraw from the 2026-2027 season, a parent must email amber@cadanceco.com and receive an acknowledgement back. It is not sufficient notice to merely tell an instructor, office assistant, or other employee of your intent to withdraw. Automatic bank debiting or credit card charges will stop after the one-month notice period. Payments for costumes, performance-related items, membership fees, and previous tuition are non-refundable and non-transferable.

All studio classes are backed up on an online learning platform.  In the event a class is unable to be held at the studio, classes will convert to an online learning platform until in-studio classes can resume.
