Our 2023-2024 Registration & Tuition Payment Information

PAYMENT POLICIES: Dance Dynamics tuition is based on an entire season of dance. Our season runs from September – June. All dancers are required to pay for the entire season.  If you enroll mid-season we will prorate your tuition based on when you begin dancing with us. Tuition is not based on the number of classes in a month or on attendance. There is NO refund for missed classes as we provide a make-up schedule.

You may pay the entire season in full or pay it in monthly installments. At the time of registration, a deposit equal to one half of your monthly installments will be due. This deposit and registration fee are non-refundable. The other installments are due the 1st of each month, September 2023 – June 2024, and will be automatically billed to the card on file on the 1st of each month.

All monthly tuition payments, costume payments, and end of year show fees will be auto-drafted to the card on file. You will be emailed a receipt after your tuition is auto-drafted. All payments MUST be completed by the date of our annual show.

RECEIPT OF PAYMENT: You will not receive a billing statement or invoice prior to any charges, however, you will receive a receipt of payment each month after the auto-draft.

LATE FEE: If your card on file is declined, an alternate payment must be made within 48 hours. A $15 Late Fee will be charged for any payments not made in full by the 1st of the month. This includes declined charges for cards on file for any reason.
