Tuition

1.)  Tuition is due the first day of each month.

2.)  Please make all payments by cash or check. Make all checks payable to “Academy of Dance”  

3.)  Please clearly mark each payment with student’s full name and the month of the tuition.        (Example: Riane Smith, January)

4.)  Tuition is based on 4 classes per month. There are months during the school year in which student's will receive different amounts of lessons. I have already taken this into consideration and have pro-rated  the year. Whether the student receives 3, 4, or 5 classes per month, the regular monthly tuition is still the same and no further discounts will be given.

5.)  All outstanding tuition or costume fees must be paid prior to the End of Year Show. Dancers may not re-register for the next year until all outstanding tuition is paid.

6.)  If a Dancer has moved or changed Dance Studios and does not pay outstanding tuition, costume, or competition fees, legal action will be taken at the dancer’s family’s expense.

        The Dancer and Family will be liable for all legal fees and court costs.

7.)  Students may not attend classes if outstanding balance is over $300.00. Please keep up your monthly payments.

8.)  Students who drop out of class and later return are required to re-register, including payment of registration fee.

 

Late Fees

1.)  NOTE: There is a $10.00 late tuition fee for all payments received after the 10th of the month. NO Exceptions.

2.   A $25.00 fee is charged for ALL Returned Checks. *** Do Not Send Cash via Mail.

3.)  If absence of class occurs, tuition payment should be mailed to:            Academy of Dance 10503-6 San Jose Blvd. Jacksonville, Fl. 32257 ...to avoid late fees.

4.)  Notification of Late Fees will be mailed on the 11th of each month.

5.)  Due to administrative costs, NO Exceptions will be made to the Late Fee Rule.

6.)  A $20.00 fee will be added to your bill each time you are more than 20 minutes late for child pick up after closing time.

 

 

Class Attendance

1.)    All students are expected to attend the classes which they have signed up for.

2.)    There will be NO make-up classes for lack of attendance by a student. Students are encouraged to attend another class on a comparable level as a make up.

3.)    If a class is cancelled by the studio, we will do our best to reschedule a make up class to take its’ place. However, due to time, this may not be possible. In the event this happens, we will have students attend another class on a comparable level as a make up.

Spring Performance

1.)    We believe that performance experience is a valuable learning tool to the children. It helps develop theatrical presence, expressiveness, and style, which are essential to the performing arts.

2.)    Although performing is not mandatory, we do encourage all of our students to share in this experience.

3.)    A $35.00 dollar costume deposit per class will be due with your October tuition. The remaining balance will be due in February. Once costumes are ordered they are yours.  You will be responsible for paying the balance. There are no returns, refunds or exceptions.

4.)    Costumes normally run between Forty Five & One Hundred Dollars depending on the level of dance. The Company & more advanced classes usually have the higher priced costumes.

5.)    Due to costume orders & technique, any dancer beginning classes after January 1st will not participate in our Spring Show.

 

PERSONAL COMMITMENT

 We believe that the decision to study dance involves a personal commitment on the part of each and every student to attend class regularly and should be undertaken only with the full intention of completing the entire year of dance. A great deal of time goes into each student on behalf of there instructor to prepare lessons and choreograph dances to help each student to develop to the best of their ability. When students do not take this commitment seriously, not only does it set back the instructors lessons but the artistry of the planned choreography.
