Tuition & Payment

Recital fee per student: $50

Costume fee per costume: $75

Registration fee per family: $50 for one student, $75 for 2 students and more.

Recital fees contribute to facility and production costs for the show, which will run for 2 performances. The recital fee includes a CSDA Recital tee shirt customized each year. Please note - in the 2025/26 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 6 installments from October to March, or 7 installments from September to March 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. A payment is late after the 22nd of the month, and is subject to a $5 late fee per child, which increases by $5 every 7 additional days. The standard payment plan automatically incurs a $35 processing fee divided by the 6 payments.

We strongly encourage families to enroll in autopay. Families that enroll in autopay will not be charged the $35 processing fee. If any outstanding bills exist at the start of a dance term, they must be resolved before a student is permitted to participate.

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: Costume & recital fees will be added to monthly invoices at the beginning of the year. 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.

Merit-Based Scholarships at Center Street Dance Academy

In addition to need-based scholarships, Center Street Dance Academy offers a limited number of merit-based scholarships. These awards are intended to recognize students who demonstrate an exceptional and ongoing commitment to their training and to our studio community.

Priority for merit-based scholarships is given to students who:

• Have taken multiple classes year after year, showing long-term dedication.

• Maintain a high class load that reflects seriousness in their training.

• Demonstrate excellent attendance and reliability.

Because our scholarship funds are limited, all families seeking assistance must first complete the FACTS Grant & Aid application. If your family does not qualify for need-based funding through FACTS but you would like to be considered for a merit-based scholarship, please complete the form linked below.

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.
