Dear Dancers and Parents,
Because of the dance school's growing expenses and the lack of a substantial tuition increase for the past 10 years, we are forced to raise tuition this year. Even with the new tuition rates we have found that our rates are still very competitive. We also offer our dancers so many bonuses including performing opportunities in two professional quality productions a year. We provide all costumes, props, and weekend rehearsals free of charge. We also offer the best in guest teachers and quality dance training. We still are offering our unbeatable family and multiple classes' discount, which has been one of the reasons our rates are so competitive. Several of you that have come to me from other schools, have not only commented that our tuition is so much lower, but have also informed me that other dance schools either do not offer the above bonuses, or offer them for additional fees. I am very grateful for your appreciation and support. I am going to continue to provide the dancers with these wonderful opportunities. We will always offer family and multiple classes' discounts, because I strongly believe that dancers need a full class in each dance form, (I do not believe in combination classes). Also, as they get older they need multiple classes to progress to the level that I feel they are capable of. With these discounts I have been able to train many dancers to professional level because their multiple classes are affordable. Some dancers choose to dance professionally, some do not, and some use their dance talents to get college scholarships. With good training they all should have the choice to do whatever their desire is.

Here is an example of our family and multiple classes' discount with our new rates.
1st Hour (Ballet) - $80.00 for 8 weeks
2nd Hour (Jazz) or 2nd child - $50.00 for 8 weeks
3rd Class (Tap) 1/2 Hour class - $20.00 for 8 weeks
At 4 Hours per week or more, each additional class is only $10.00 - $20.00 more for an 8-week Session. These discounts are built into the price chart on the blue schedule.
Families that are at 11-1/2 hours per week or more, will find that this year there is no tuition increase at all.

This year we are offering TWO PAYMENT OPTIONS. Because most families live on a month to month budget, I believe it will be easier on everyone to always have tuition due at the same time of the month. For that reason, dance tuition will always be due on the 15th of the month. Below are the two payment options.
OPTION 1 - Monthly payments due on the 15th of every month.
Session I - August 28 - October 21. (Payments due Aug.15 & Sept.15)
Session II - October 23 - December 16. (Payments due Oct.15 & Nov.15)
Session III - January 2 - February 24. (Payments due Dec.15 & Jan.15)
Session IV - February 26 - April 21. (Payments due Feb.15 & Mar.15)
Session V - April 23 - June 10. (Payments due Apr.15 & May15)
Summer DANCEcamp - 1 & 2 week Programs throughout Summer. (Payments due June15 & July15)
OPTION 2 - Payments made in full for 8 week sessions qualify for a discount. Payments are due on the 15th of every other month. Payments are due on just the first due date, for each session, on the above payment schedule (Aug.Oct.Dec.Feb.Apr.&June15th).
REMEMBER - We accept VISA, MasterCard, and debit cards.
Please feel free to call with any questions you might have. I've tried to come up with an easier system for everyone so that I can continue offering the best to my students.
