** Per Student means that the number of classes and corresponding tuition in the schedule above are applicable to each student, including students in the same family except as described in the next sentence. If a family has more than one student enrolled in a month and, when counted together, the total number of classes such family's students are enrolled in during that month is five or less, then the tuition charged for each class that month, other than the $55 charged for the first class, shall be $50.
*** Class - With respect to tuition, a class means any class up to one hour (i.e., a 30, 45 or 60 minute class is treated as one class). Classes that are longer than one hour will be treated as additional fractional classes in quarter class increments (for example, a 75 minute class will be treated as 1.25 classes; a 90 minute class will be treated as 1.5 classes; and so forth). The tuition will be prorated accordingly (for example, the monthly tuition for a dancer taking one 90 minute class, would be $55 x 1.5 or $82.50).
"Regular Dance Classes" means school year dance classes other than Master Classes, Intensives (e.g., Ballet Intensive Workshop) and Summer Sessions (e.g., Little Spinners, Summer Stars, Syncopate, Summer Ballet Series and Summer Technique Classes), each of which are not covered by the Monthly Tuition described on this page and will have separate tuition schedules.
Payments
- Monthly Due Dates -- The school year tuition will be billed in ten (10) installments (for example, the school year tuition for a dancer enrolled in one 60 minute class would be $550). The first month’s payment is due at registration. Subsequent tuition will be billed on the 15th of every month (during the month preceding the month for which the tuition applies). The following example is for clarification purposes only: if a family registers their child for the school year in August, their registration fee and September tuition would be due at registration. The next due date for tuition would be September 15th -- for dance classes in October. The last payment of the year (for June classes) will be due on the 15th day of the preceding month (May 15th).
- Payment Methods -- We accept cash, checks, credit cards (VISA, MasterCard and Discover) and we are working on introducing E-Checks (electronic payments made from a checking or savings account). For most of our customers, we maintain their credit card account information in our systems and process the monthly charges automatically - the dance class registration form includes a section where you can provide the required information and signature to enable automatic monthly payments. Another convenient method for payment is using DANJ's online Portal -- where you can login each month and pay online with either credit card or E-Check. You may also pay at the office with cash, check or credit card. In all cases, we do require a credit card and your pre-authorization for use in the event that we do not receive your monthly payment by the applicable due date.
- For any payments made by check: (i) post dated checks are not permitted; and (ii) a $25.00 return fee will be charged for any returned checks.
- Late Charge -- Accounts outstanding past the 15th of the month (and not paid using the credit card process described below) will be assessed a $5.00 late charge.
Additional Information
- Tuition is non-refundable - unless there is a valid medical reason for withdrawal.
- Ten Calendar Months - Our regular school year calendar is based on a 10 calendar month school year (September thru June). Each class has a total of 35 sessions per year (classes are not based on 4 classes per month).
- Missed Classes / Make Ups - Any sessions missed due to illness or inclement weather can be made up by contacting the office and taking the make up class no later than four weeks from the time of absence. The office will issue a pass to the student. The student must hand the pass to the instructor as they enter the make-up session. There will be no credits or refunds for missed classes/sessions.
- Cancellation / Dropped Classes - If you decide to drop out of a class, you must notify the studio business manager by the 5th of the preceding month in which a student is dropping in order to avoid being charged for the month (for example, if someone is dropping a class as of November, they must notify the office on or before the 5th of October to avoid being charged for November).
