Tuition is based on a 9 month calendar (36 weeks) beginning on September 5th, 2023, and ending on May 24th, 2024. The first installment is due September 1, 2022. Tuition can be paid monthly or in full at time of registration.
Tuition is not based on a four-class-per-month rate, but rather on the annual cost divided into 9 payments.
Installments are always due on the 1st of the month and late on the 2nd. A late fee of $15 will be charged on the 2nd - NO EXCEPTIONS. Payments can be made online through our Parent Portal. We accept VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER and VENMO (Kristi Vanderbeek @stepsonstage). Payments can also be paid in the studio by cash or check. If we are closed due to a holiday, you may mail your payment or pay online through your parent portal. However, all payments must still be made by the 1st of the month regardless of student or studio schedule.
If the payment is not received by the end of the month, your child will not be allowed to participate in class until the account is paid.
