There will be no refunds or credits toward tuition because of absence. Tuition is based on a 10-month total and divided into equal monthly installments. There is no adjustment of tuition when holidays are observed. Tuition for the summer session (June & July) is paid separately. The above rates do not apply to the summer sessions. See summer schedule for summer tuition information.

In order to be eligible to participate in performances, students must take the required number of hours for their level per week. Attendance in scheduled classes is mandatory to maintain placement. Students must be on time for class and arrive able to enter and begin in a relaxed and respectful manner.  Ballet training is based on discipline and perseverance, and we endeavor to encourage these qualities in our students. "Interest" in class may vary and once the newness of class has faded, it could happen that your child would rather stay home than attend class. This is normal. However, since consistent attendance is of the utmost importance for development and progress, we encourage you to support our efforts to see that your child continues with their commitment to the class for the full term.

Cancellations will be announced on the studio's answering machine and Facebook/Instagram pages. Classes may be canceled due to bad weather or hazardous driving conditions. Classes missed due to cancellation may be made up as appropriate.
