Monthly student dance fees will continue until the end of the month in which written resignation is received; tuition policy applies and no refunds will be issued.
If your check is returned as having non-sufficient funds, you will need to pay cash plus the NSF check fee of $30 before the next dance class; otherwise, student will not be allowed to participate in class. If we receive two NSF checks from a party over the course of the dance season, we will no longer accept personal checks from that party.
Each student will be billed a costume fee per class. Costumes will not be ordered for students until they are paid in full. Once costumes have been ordered, no refunds will be issued.
