Dance Studio Policies & Procedures

Tuition and Fees: 

• Drop-Ins are $20 per class. Payment must be received prior to taking class. 
• Monthly tuition is in equal monthly payments and is due on the first of every month for the 12 months calendar year. Late fees may incur a surcharge. Some monthly sessions have 5 dance classes. Tuition is calculated based on the number of times a class meets per month. For example, when a class meets 5 times in one month, you will pay for five classes in that month. Fees can be paid using our online payment methods, cash or check. There will be a $15 late fee applied to the account balance for payments received after the tenth of every month. There is a $25 returned check charge for any checks returned by the bank. We do not prorate months for missed days or holidays. Enrolment is month to month.  If at any time you wish to withdraw from monthly enrolment, you must notify 4PM Dance in writing and acknowledge that there is 30 days paid notice required. Notice period will start once the written notice is received by 4PM DANCE.
• Class cards are $150 for 10 classes. Credits may be transferred to other members of the family only. Credits may not be used for master classes.
• There are no refunds given for missed classes due to illness, natural disasters or personal commitments. Students will be allowed to make up any classes missed in any appropriate class of their choice at any time within the calendar year.
