Payment Options:
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 first of each month. Payments can be made via ACH transfer, check, cash or credit card. A payment is late after the 15th of the month, and is subject to a $5 late fee, 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.
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.
