Tuition rates are for the full season (including studio holidays), not by the number of classes in the month. A full season includes a minimum of 32 lessons and tuition fees are paid in 10 monthly installments.  Tuition is not prorated for student absences. This model allows for easier account billing and a set monthly tuition payment.

After registering (which includes paying for 1st Month tuition + Annual Student Membership Fee + signing the online waiver form), monthly tuition must be paid by automatic debit or credit card payment. The membership fee is non-refundable once a student has attended class. Tuition will be debited from your account (or charged to your credit card) on the 1st day of each remaining month through June. 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 are subject to an accruing 5% monthly finance charge and discontinued services until paid. Accounts more than 60 days past due may be submitted to collection services.

NSF on auto-debit or auto-charge payments will incur a $35 NSF fee which will be paid at the front desk along with the tuition.

Refunds are only issued when CDC cancels a class due to low enrollment.

Account credit will be issued in rare circumstances. Credit can be applied to any CDC tuition or fees that are due as long as it is within one year of credit issuance.

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

Christmas Showcase costume fees will be automatically charged to your account on October 15. Spring Recital costume fees will be automatically charged to your account on February 15.

Performance-related packages for the Spring Recital will be automatically charged to your account on March 15.

Performance-related packages for Gym Fest and Silks Fest will be automatically charged to your account on April 15.

Private lessons are available at various times during the week and on Saturdays.

For your convenience, and to reserve a space for the following season, annual membership fees will be automatically renewed and applied to your account on June 1, 2025, unless the Membership Change form 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 2024-2025 season, a parent must email office@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.

CDC IS A SAFER STUDIO™

California Dance Company, Inc. requires all staff and students to stay home when they are ill. In order to reduce the community spread of illness, we follow best practices and recommendations from our local health department and from our industry associations.

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.
