Tuition, Fees, & Policies 2023-24 season
The SDD Registration Fee and 1st tuition payment are due at the time of registration.
Registration fee:
A non-fundable annual registration fee is due at the time of registration. $40 per dancer or $60 per family of 2 or more.
The Course Fee:
The seasonal course fee covers the cost of instruction and studio operation expenses for the season. Your seasonal course fee is determined by the total number of class hours your family is attending per week.
The course fee remains the same regardless of absences, holidays, or weather related closings. In the event of a closing enacted by state mandate, our program will temporarily switch to a virtual program that follows our current class and tuition schedule. Dance Dynamics does not offer make up classes or pro-rated tuition.
Seasonal course fees can be paid either in one seasonal payment or 9 installment payments.
- Seasonal Payment Plan : Full seasonal course fee may be paid by September 15th at a 5% discount (3% convenience fee added for credit card payments). Discount does not apply to registration, costumes or rehearsal fee. There will be NO REFUNDS on seasonal payments in the event of withdrawal.
- 9 Installment Payment Plan : The first installment is due at the time of registration. Payments 2 through 9 will be billed to your payment account on file on the 1st of each month from October through May through AutoPay.
All tuition payments are due the 1st of each month . Payments received after the 1st will be subject to a $15 late fee.
- To Set up AutoPay: Select add new payment method from your portal menu, input your preferred payment method (bank account EFT or credit card), check the AutoPay box (under your billing address) and you will be autobilled on the 1st of each month. We send a statement out approximately 1 week prior to remind you and an email receipt is sent when the payment is processed. Your account balance will be billed on auto pay on the 1st of each month from October- May. If your account balance is zero at that time, no payment will be billed on auto pay. Therefore, you can pay in cash, check, EFT or credit card before the 1st of each month to avoid the auto charge. Each family MUST have a form of payment on file on the parent portal (CC, EFT checking or savings).
- In the event your AutoPay payment is declined, you will be notified via email. Please remit an alternate payment prior to the 7th to avoid a late charge billed to your account.
- Course fees for dancers beginning mid-season will be pro-rated based on your start date.
- Students whose accounts are overdue by more than 1 month will not be allowed to participate in class until payment is received. Tuition accounts must be paid in full prior to your child participating in the Recital.
- A $30 fee will be assessed for any returned checks or returned EFT transactions.
