Tuition rates at the Dancin’ School are calculated on a 10 month basis (Aug – May) and cover the cost of class time, teacher fees, class preparation, production selections, choreography, office administration, rent and utilities for the entire year. Because most of these costs are fixed, we must charge full tuition every month even though the specific number of classes per month varies. There are NO discounts for missed classes due to absences, holidays, bad weather or any temporary school closings. Make-up classes are encouraged should you miss your scheduled class.
