All About Dance! By Kristen
Tuition Payment Policy
* All About Dance! accepts Cash, Check, Visa, & MasterCard.
(Automatic Credit Card Payment can be Requested.)

  1. Registration Fee: There will be a $25.00 per student ($35.00 per family) one-time per year non-refundable registration fee.
     

  2. Tuition is a YEARLY fee to be paid in 10 monthly installments starting in September and ending in May or June.  Each class is guaranteed to meet a minimum of 34 times during the school year. In most cases, the actual number of class sessions in the year is greater. Should any one class meet less than 34 times due to bad weather, etc., make-up classes will be scheduled.
     

  3. The monthly fee will remain the same for each monthly payment, September through June. Our tuition is based on a 10 month period, not on the amount of lessons per month. Therefore, you are not paying for the holidays that are observed by our studio.
     

  4. Tuition for each month is due promptly on the 15th of the month prior. All payments made on and/or after the 1st of the current month for the current month.s tuition will be assessed a late fee. (Ex. October Tuition is due on September 15th. If paid on October 1st, a late fee will be added.) We prefer not to handle post-dated checks. We cannot guarantee holding checks to the posted date.
     

  5. A Late Fee charge of $10.00 will be added to your account if the payment is not made by the 1st of the current month. Monthly statements are not mailed out unless an account is past due. The studio reserves the right to drop any students whose fees are in arrears. Please feel free to contact the office for any financial arrangements.
     

  6. All delinquent balances MUST BE PAID in full before purchasing your recital/ showcase tickets and picking up recital/showcase costumes, props, & accessories.
     

  7. An additional charge of $35.00 will be added to your account for all returned checks.
     

  8. There are NO REFUNDS given for discontinued lessons or discounts for missed lessons.
     

  9. Discontinued Lessons: The studio must be notified if a student discontinues their lessons. Tuition will be charged until the student has officially dropped the class and notified the office. If the student drops after the first of the month, the parent is liable for the entire month.s tuition.
     

  10. If the desk is unattended, please enclose payment in a sealed envelope and drop into the Tuition Payment slot located on the side of the office wall. All checks are to be made payable to All About Dance! By Kristen.
     

  11. Recital Performance: Every other year, All About Dance! By Kristen creates an original recital production performed by the students. This year, AADbK is presenting an original recital. At the end of our dance season in June, the students have the opportunity to display their talents for family and friends. Costumes are a necessary part of our show. A $65.00 recital costume deposit per class for each child is due by December 15th. For your convenience, the costume deposit may be divided into four monthly payments beginning September 15th. Each child will receive a Costume Deposit Payment Coupon for the suggested schedule of payments. You are welcome to pay more than the minimum deposit, should it be more beneficial in your financial planning. Anyone not paying the full $65.00 costume deposit by the required due date of December 15th will be charged an
    additional $10.00 late fee.
    If the total costume costs exceed $65.00, the balance is due by January 10. If the total costume cost is less than $65.00, the difference will be credited toward the following month.s tuition.
     

  12. Showcase Performance: Every other year, All About Dance! By Kristen creates an original showcase production performed by the students. Simple costumes are a necessary part of our show. A one-time downpayment of $100.00 per student is due by December 15th. This fee is per student, NOT per student per class (i.e. If Amy is in two classes, she still pays only $100.00 as a total deposit). In most cases, all students will need to purchase just one costume and an accessory packet that matches their dance subject(s) (i.e. a ballet skirt for ballet, jazz pants for jazz). For your convenience, the costume deposit may be divided into four monthly payments beginning September 15th. You are welcome to pay more than the minimum deposit, should it be more beneficial in your financial planning. Each child will receive a Costume Deposit Payment Coupon for the suggested schedule of payments.
    Anyone not paying the full costume deposit by the required due date of December 15th will be charged an additional $10.00 late fee. If the total costume costs exceed $100.00, the balance is due by January 10. If the total costume is less than $100.00, the difference will be credited toward the following month.s tuition.
