REGISTRATION, TUITION & FEES

To register online, we require a valid credit card to be entered, Once your registration has been processed and confirmed, we will immediately process your card for a non-refundable registration fee of $20 per student or $30 per family and your first month's tuition. Your credit card will be charged on the 10th of each month (October 2021-May 2022) for tuition fees and any outstanding balance (including private lessons, dancewear and costumes). If you would like to pay by cash or check, please do so BEFORE the 10th of the month.  Tuition is a yearly commitment. Once you register for the year, you are obligated to see through the financial commitment of the full year, as space in classes is limited.  There is a $10 late fee added each month for accounts with outstanding balances.  There is a $25 fee for returned checks.

WITHDRAWALS, CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS

The Studio 55 School of Dance staff should be notified immediately if a child must withdraw from a class.  Until such time, the space will be held for the student and charges will be invoiced to the parent or guardian.  If a student has had more than four unexcused absences in a row, the student will be automatically dropped from the class and charges will be invoiced to the parent or guardian for missed classes. Studio 55 does not follow school cancellations. If our staff can make it to the studio, we will make every attempt to still hold classes.  We will post cancellations, at least an hour before classes are to begin, on Facebook and you will receive an email. There are no refunds for classes missed, whether due to illness or poor weather. If for any reason a student must miss a class, they are allowed to attend another class on the schedule, in their level, as a make-up class.

If Studio 55 has to close for 4 or more consecutive weeks due to circumstances beyond our control, we will move our classes to an online format. At that time you will have a choice to continue online classes, or you can choose to drop your classes.
