Tuition, Fees, & Payments

Tuition rates are for the full season (August - July including studio holidays), not by the number of classes in the month. We consider a month of classes between 3-5 classes. Tuition fees are paid monthly or annually.  When you are enrolling, you are enrolling for the complete season, teaching our dancers commitment. You must inform us 30 days before you would like to unenroll from your Membership or you will still be charged for the following month, in addition to a $65 early cancellation fee, if you have not completed the season. We have Rollover Registration making it convenient for our families to grow with us. If you choose to opt out for our next season you will have to let us know by April 15th before registration is drafted on April 25th.

After registration, monthly tuition for all other months must be paid by automatic bank account debit or automatic credit card payment. Tuition will be debited from your account (or charged to your credit card) on the 25th day of each month. There is 4.2% convenience fee on credit and debit payments. To avoid this fee you can pay by cash or check. 

If you choose to pay by cash or check, it must be received by the 15th of the month prior. (ie. October must be paid for in cash or check by September 15th).

Accounts not paid on time, starting on the 26th of the month as stated within the above terms, are considered late and subject to a $35 late fee and an accruing 5% monthly finance charge until paid. If payment is not received within 10 days, a 2nd $15 late fee is added. Accounts more than 60 days past due may be submitted to collection services. 

Recital costumes will be paid by automatic bank account debit or automatic credit card payment on or around March 15 for Spring Recital and October 1st for Christmas Recital.

Savings

Dancers are encouraged to take advantage of our Multi-Class Savings for maximum progress & value.

Siblings receive a 10% savings on the smaller tuition account. No sibling discounts on Advanced Classes, Performing Groups or Registration Fees.

Please refer to the Tuition page or discuss classes with a studio representative to plan out multiple classes per month for a single student. 

Refunds

Bri’s Dance Place does not issue refunds. Refunds are only issued when Bri’s Dance Place cancels a class due to low enrollment.

NSF Payments

NSF on auto-debit, or auto-charge payments will incur a $35 NSF fee which will be paid electronically with the tuition.

Attendance

Regular attendance is vital to student progress and group choreography. Please make every effort to attend each class. If you miss more than two of the final eight classes before recital you may be dismissed from participating in the recital routine at the discretion of the teacher.

Please report all absences via website link or by calling into the studio.

Withdrawal, Rescheduling, and Cancellation

When you are enrolling, you are enrolling for the complete season, to teach our dancers commitment. You must inform us 30 days before you would like to unenroll from your Membership or you will still be charged for the next month and a $65 early cancellation fee for not completing the season. To withdraw, a parent must: 1) inform the studio in person, and 2) complete and sign a withdrawal form. Automatic bank debiting or credit card charges will stop after the one-month notice period. We have Rollover Registration making it convenient for our families to grow with us. If you choose to opt out for our next season you will have to let us know by August 15th before tuition is drafted on August 25th.

Bri’s Dance Place reserves the right to provide a substitute teacher if the regular teacher is ill or is otherwise unable to teach. Bri’s Dance Place reserves the right to reschedule or combine classes. 

All private lessons cancelled with more than 24 hours notice will receive a full refund. No-show lessons or lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged the full amount. 

Inclement Weather

Please note that we do not necessarily follow school closings as roads are often cleared by the time studio classes begin.

In the event of inclement weather, an email/text will be sent and a Facebook post made by 2:00pm if classes are cancelled (by 8:00am for morning classes). Any cancelled classes may be made up on your own time from our regular schedule of classes. In the event there is not a make up class available, a replacement class will be scheduled. 

Parent Observation

We ask that you observe quietly, that cell phones be turned off, and that siblings are monitored and quiet during observations. 

Parents can view class inside dance rooms when we have our Parent Observation Day, followed by Parent/Teacher Conferences.

During our Parent Observation Week, you are invited to be our guests in the classroom for the entire lesson. Other observation is at the teacher's discretion.  

Recital Costumes

All classes have a costume unless noted on the schedule. 

Recital costumes will be paid by automatic bank account debit or automatic credit card payment on March 15 and are not refundable. Costumes will not be ordered unless payment is received in full. 

Students are measured for costumes in class Costumes will be delivered in May-June. If a costume does not fit, we are able to exchange within one week of receiving it at no cost to you, if it is returned in its original packaging. After that week, there may be additional shipping/handling fees and/or limited availability. 

Recital

Each July, we end our season with our fully-staged, professional Recital. We encourage, but do not require, participation. 

Recital dates and mandatory dress rehearsal dates will be published.

Our priority is to prepare your children for the performance experience of a lifetime!

A lost and found basket is located in the waiting room. Please check the lost and found basket regularly as all lost and found items are donated to Goodwill on the 1st and 15th of each month. 

Security cameras are located in public areas for safety and security.
