Tuition:

Tuition is based on enrollment, not attendance, and it is important to remember that tuition is a monthly rate, and remains the same whether there are 3, 4, or 5 weeks in the month. **Tuition for the month of August 2010 will be half of what your normal tuition fee is and due the week of August 16th, 2010. Depending on the dates of the recital June may be prorated weekely.

ALL Tuition is due within the 1st week of every month and must be paid by the first scheduled class of each month. Statements for the coming month will be emailed out at the end of the current month. Your tuition will be considered late if paid after the 7th of the month and Tuition payments made by credit card must be made by the 4th of the month. Due to economic reasons, we can no longer allow dance accounts to carry over any balance to another month, including Tuition Fees, Company and/or Company Competition Fees, Costume Fees, Registration Fees or any other miscellaneous fees that apply. All fees MUST be paid when due.

Tuition Due Date if paying with Cash or Check: Due by the 7th of every month

***Students in Company classes will be participating in competitions throughout the 2010--2011 dance year. All Company students are expected to participate. Choreography for competition dances is created based on the number of students in the class. When students are unable for any reason to participate, it is a hardship to others to relearn spacing and/or choreography as well as the teacher to have to re-choreograph a part or entire dance. Company classes, therefore, require an increased level of commitment from students and families.

Company classes may require extra expenses for items including, but not limited to, additional instructor fees, matching jewelry, hair accessories, and matching make-up to create a more professional look on stage. You will be notified of these expenses, if needed, as soon as they become available and they will be due before that competition.

Competition fees vary depending on the competition and are set by the competition’s directors. Premier School of Dance neither receives any income from competitions fees nor is paid any fees for our participation in dance competitions. You will be notified as to the competition fee(s) and due date and failure to pay these fees on time will result in the student not being allowed to participate in the designated competition.

NOTE: Students taking 3 company classes will be allowed to take a Pointe class and/or a Technique class for no additional charge. All company Jazz  Ballet/Lyrical students are required to attend at least two Technique classes per month.

Also, there will be an additional fee of $20.00 charged per Company dancer/month for any Small Group Company rehearsals.
