TUITION
Check our classesTuition
Tuition is billed on a monthly basis for all classes, with the exception of Open Adult Ballet and Dance for Parkinson’s, which are offered on a drop-in basis. Our 2026–2027 school-year classes run from August through May, and tuition payments are automatically processed on the 1st of each month. A late fee of $20 will be applied if tuition is unable to be processed by the 10th of the month.
Tuition will be prorated for students who enroll in a class after the start of the month. Missed classes are non-refundable; however, make-up classes are available in a class one level below the student’s current placement. Students in Levels 4–6 may complete make-up classes in the Open Adult Intermediate classes. We reserve the right to cancel any class that does not meet minimum enrollment requirements.
Tuition rates for each class level are based on an average of four weeks of instruction per month. Monthly tuition will remain consistent and will not be adjusted for months that include more or fewer instructional weeks, as these scheduling variations are accounted for in the annual tuition structure.
Tuition payments are non-refundable. To withdraw from a class, written notice must be provided at least 10 days prior to the end of the preceding month.
