Tuition Fees and Payment Policies:
Registration requires paying one tuition installment plus the season membership fee of $70 per dancer for Basic Membership and $95 for Premium Membership.
Students benefit from a multi-class timetable discount when taking multiple classes; individual rates vary depending on the number of hours taken.
Each tuition installment is due by the dates outlined below. Tuition rates apply to the full season (including studio closures and holidays) from the September start date through the June end date, 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.
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.

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.
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.
