REGISTRATION & TUITION:
Upon registration, the first month's tuition and registration fee are due. These fees are non-refundable. Cash, credit cards, and checks are accepted.
Our tuition is based on a September through May session and is divided into 9 monthly installments. A student is expected to complete the whole season through May. Monthly tuition remains the same regardless of holidays, spring break, school holidays, Mardi Gras, and recital dates. We do continue classes after recital and our last date of classes can be found on our important studio dates below.
Tuition is due on the first of each month. All payments received after the 10th of each month will carry a $15 late fee. All returned checks will be charged a $25 insufficient funds fee. To keep costs to a minimum we do not send out monthly statements.
Any medical issue involving injury must be presented with a doctor's note to receive tuition credit in the case of extended abscenes (ie: broken bones, etc).
Open/overdue accounts must be paid in full or student will not be allowed to participate in class.
WITHDRAWALS:
If a student withdraws from a class, the parent must fill out a drop form at the desk or the student will continue to be billed for classes. Please note that the month the class is dropped, tuition for that month and any prior tuition must be paid in full at time of withdrawal.
COSTUMES AND RECITAL:
Costumes are required for each routine a student performs in the recital; prices range from $65 - $95. Costume money is non-refundable. For your convenience, costume payments are split into two installments. The first 50% will be due by October 15th and the remaining balances are due by November 15th. Our costume orders will be placed at the beginning of December. Tuition must be paid and up to date in order for students to bring home costumes. Our costumes will be displayed on a costume board at the end of Nov./Early Dec. in our lobbies.
The recital is at the Mobile Civic Center. Our 2013 recital will be Saturday May 11, times TBA. Rehearsal will be Sunday May 5, time TBA. A non-refundable fee of $65 per family is required and due by Feb. 10th. This will cover the cost of performing in the recital and include a souvenir program, 2 recital tickets, and one dancer pass. This fee helps defray the cost of this large production. Additional tickets can be purchased for $14 in advance or $16 at the door. *Recital tickets are not released until May tuition is paid and all accounts are up to date.
