Studio Policies & Fees
Tuition & Billing
-
Our tuition is billed monthly, and the cost is based on how many classes your child attends. The monthly payment is the same from September through May, regardless of how many classes fall within a particular month. For example, some months may have five classes, while a holiday month might only have two. We've set our pricing this way to make payments consistent and easy to budget for throughout the year.
-
Tuition is non-refundable.
-
If you need to cancel a class, you must let us know before the first of the month to avoid being charged. You can do this by sending us an email or stopping by the front desk. After tuition has been processed for the month, it cannot be refunded.
-
Your cancellation is not confirmed until you receive an email from us. If you don’t hear back within three days, please give us a call or send another email.
Additional Fees
-
In addition to the monthly tuition, there are a few other fees throughout the year.
Annual Registration Fee
-
There is a one-time, non-refundable annual registration fee of $30 per student, or $30 for the first student and $15 for each additional student for families. This fee is paid once per year, and students do not have to pay it again if they enroll in more than one class.
Photo & Video Release
-
By enrolling your child, you grant Divine Dance permission to use photographs and videos of your child taken during classes, rehearsals, and performances. These images and videos may be used for promotional purposes, including our website, social media, brochures, and advertisements, without compensation.
Attendance & Cancellations
Missed Classes
-
If your child misses a class, they can attend a similar class as a make-up session within two months. You can schedule this through the parent portal after the missed class has occurred. Please note that absences do not reduce your monthly tuition.
-
To ensure your child gets the best instruction, it's important for them to attend their regular class as often as possible. Make-up classes are intended for occasional absences, such as for illness or vacation, not as a replacement for their regular class.
Dropping or Changing Classes
-
Tuition will continue to be charged until you notify us that you are dropping or changing a class. You can do this by sending an email or by filling out a form at the front desk. You will not be charged again after we receive your cancellation notice.
Weather-Related Closures
-
We will close for bad weather whenever Lancaster County Schools are closed. These classes will not be rescheduled, and your tuition will not be reduced. Your child can attend a different class as a makeup student if one is available that week. You can find out about class cancellations on our Facebook page, our Instagram, or through email.
Payment & Late Fees
Payment Methods
-
We accept cash, Visa, Discover, or Mastercard.
Auto-Pay
-
If you choose not to use our auto-pay system, you must let us know in writing via email before your first month of class. There will be an additional $10 fee per month for manual payments.
Late Fees
-
Tuition is due on the first day of each month. A $20 late fee will be charged for any tuition not paid by the 10th of the month. If tuition is not paid within 30 days, your child may not be able to attend class until the account is current. There is a $40 fee for any credit card chargebacks.
