                                                    $100 (Winter Session--8 weeks)

 

Monthly tuition is due on the 1st of the month. A grace period of 9 days is given before a late fee of $25 is charged to the account. Any payment not received by the 10th is subject to the late fee, no exceptions. Tuition payments are not discounted for holidays, missed classes, or if the studio is closed for COVID-19 or inclement weather. Payments may be paid with cash, check, or credit card in the studio, with a credit card by phone when the studio is open, or paid online through the Parent Portal. We do not recommend mailing a check because our mail delivery is unreliable.

​

Elementary Combo Class: Because the instruction time for this class (90 minutes) equals that of 2 regular classes, the tuition rate will equal that of 2 regular classes ($110), not 3 classes.

​

Creative Movement: Creative Movement is an 8 week class offered in the Fall & Winter to introduce dance to little ones. This class will run in sessions with one fee charged per session. The cost of this class is $100 per session. There is a $25 registration fee which is only charged once per dance year. This class is not in the recital and does not have a costume or stage fee.

• 2 & 3 Year Olds ~ Fall Session (Sept. 4th - Oct. 23rd)  &  Winter Session (Feb. 5th - Mar. 26th)

• 4 & 5 Year Olds ~ Winter Session Only (Feb. 3 - Mar. 24th)

 

FAMILIES: Please note that to determine your family tuition you must add the # of classes each INDIVIDUAL student is taking and then subtract your family discount. For example: 1 child taking 2 classes, 1 child taking three classes: $110 + $135 - $10(family discount) = $235. It is not the cost of 5 classes, it is the cost of 2 classes, plus the cost of 3 classes, minus the family discount.

 

Family Discount:

The family discount applies only to the monthly tuition. The family discount is $10 per family, regardless of the number of dancers.

 

Withdrawing from Class:

Dropping a class must be expressed in writing to Dance Arts of Rocky Mount, Inc. by the 1st of the month in which your student will be withdrawing. If written notice is not given by that time then you are responsible for that month’s tuition and any consecutive months where classes are not attended until written notice is received. 

 

If a student drops a class prior to costumes being ordered then the costume fee will be refunded. If a student drops after this date then you are responsible for the balance of their costume fee.

​

Costume Fee

All costumes are $84 each. Students will have one costume per class (except for the Elementary Combo classes, which will have either 2 or 3 costumes). Tights are included for students through the 5th grade.  Students in the 6th - 12th grades are required to purchase their tights through the studio.

 

We now offer two costume fee payment options:

Option 1: You pay the total costume fee by September 10th.

 

Option 2: You pay 3 equal amounts in September, October, and November.  You will divide your total costume fee by 3 and add it to your September, October, & November tuition. For example, your child is enrolled in 2 classes that require a costume.   Your total costume fee is $168, you will divide this by 3 and add $56 to your tuition for September, October, & November ONLY. Therefore your monthly payment for September, October, & November ONLY should be $166.  Costumes will not be ordered for your dancer if your account is past due on October 10th. There will be a $25 late fee, per costume, for costume fees paid after the 10th in Sept, Oct, & Nov. If your account is not current when costumes are ordered in October we cannot guarantee the necessary costumes will be available at a later date.

​

**There will be a $25 late shipping fee, per costume, charged to all dancers whose costume fees are not paid in full by October 10th.  Costumes will be ordered in October this year because of the difficulty we have had getting costumes in the past. No costumes will be ordered for students who have a balance on their account.  Your account must be current in order for costumes to be ordered for your dancer. There is no guarantee we will be able to get a costume if they must be ordered late because of a balance on your account.
