Tuition & Payment

Recital fee per student: $50

The recital fee will be charged to family accounts in January.

Registration fee per family: $50 for one student, $25 for each additional student within the family.

Recital fees contribute to facility and production costs for the show, which will run for a minimum of 2 performances. The recital fee includes a CSDA Recital tee shirt customized each year. Please note - in the 2026/27 season, a complimentary recital ticket is not included in the recital fee. Complimentary tickets will be provided to parent volunteers.

1 | Standard Payment Plan: Pay for dance in installments from October to April, or September through the end of the competitive season for Company dancers. Monthly invoices will be sent on the 15th of each month. Payments can be made via ACH transfer, check, cash or credit card. We ask that families do not use a debit card in our payment system. A payment is late after the 22nd of the month, and is subject to a $10 late fee, which increases by $5 every 7 additional days.

We require all families with CSDA to be enrolled in autopay. We will consider alternative payment options for extenuating circumstances.

2 | Customized Payment Plan: If you would like to pay in one or two installments, let us know and we will waive or reduce accordingly the payment plan fee and accept payment via ACH transfer, check, cash or credit card. If we do not hear from you, we will assume you are on a standard payment plan.

All credit card and ACH transfer fees are transferred to the customer. Failed payments incur a $20 fee, automatically applied to the account.

3 | FEES: Recital fees will be added to monthly invoices in January 2027. If a student is unable to perform in recital due to injury or other reasons, contact the studio manager to discuss a possible refund of fees.

The Arts at Center Street is committed to making meaningful arts education accessible to students whose families may need financial assistance. Because scholarship funds are limited, we use a consistent application and review process to distribute available support as fairly and responsibly as possible.

This application asks about household finances, the student’s intended participation, and any circumstances that may affect the family’s ability to pay tuition. We also request supporting financial documentation so that our Scholarship Committee can evaluate each application using accurate and comparable information. Families are encouraged to share any relevant circumstances that may not be reflected in their current income documents.

After submitting this form, applicants will receive access to a secure file-request link for uploading the required documentation. Please do not send tax returns, pay stubs, benefit statements, or other financial records through ordinary email. Applicants may redact Social Security numbers, bank-account numbers, dependent Social Security numbers, and unrelated sensitive information before uploading.

Applications will be reviewed confidentially by a scholarship committee. Decisions will consider:

• Demonstrated financial need and household circumstances

• The extent to which assistance is necessary for the student to participate

• The number of classes or programs in which the student intends to enroll

• The student’s continued growth, engagement, and development

• The student’s future intentions for participation and advancement

• The amount of funding available during the applicable scholarship period

Scholarships typically cover a portion of tuition, and award amounts may vary from year to year. Submission of an application does not guarantee an award, a particular award amount, or future assistance.

An application is considered complete when both the form and all required supporting documentation have been received. Families will ordinarily receive a written decision within two weeks after the completed application is received. If additional information is needed, a member of the scholarship committee will contact the applicant.

We recognize that requesting financial assistance can feel personal. The questions and documentation requested are intended only to help the committee assess need consistently, protect the integrity of the scholarship program, and direct limited funds to families for whom assistance will make participation possible.

We ask that all accounts be brought current prior to the Spring Recital. Students with outstanding balances at the time of the recital may be unable to participate until payment is received. If you are experiencing financial difficulty, please contact us to discuss arrangements.

We understand that circumstances arise and are committed to working with families whenever possible.

If you anticipate difficulty meeting a tuition or fee deadline, please contact the office prior to the due date to discuss a payment arrangement. Approved payment plans must be established in writing and kept current in order for students to remain eligible for classes and performances.

Failure to communicate or remain current on an agreed-upon plan may result in suspension of classes and/or ineligibility to participate in performances, including the Spring Recital.
