Step 1

Registration Fees

One-time, per session, per child. Register early and save $40.

Best Value Save 53%

Early Registration

May 1 – May 31
Registration fee $35once per child
Save $40 per child vs. regular registration — that's 53% off the standard rate. Plus our 20% multi-class discount means every additional class is just $60 (the biggest multi-class discount among premium studios in the area).
Standard

Regular Registration

June 1 – End of registration period
Registration fee $75once per child
Open until classes fill. Some popular classes fill before then — early registration is recommended.
Step 2

Monthly Tuition

One simple rule: your first class is $75/month, every additional class is $60. Family discounts work the same way. Tuition is calculated on a year of approximately 30 classes, divided into 9 monthly payments [September – May].

One Student

Single Student Tuition

Per dancer · Drafted monthly
1st class discipline $75/ month
Each additional class discipline $60/ month
Family Discount Sibling Discount

Family Tuition

More than one student · Drafted monthly
1st student, 1st class discipline $75/ month
1st student, each additional class $60/ month
Each sibling, every class $60/ month
Pointe (advanced, by approval) $55/ month
Two dancers, three classes total? That's $75 + $60 + $60 = $195/mo — same family, same draft. Each sibling joins at the multi-class rate of $60 (20% off the first-class rate), and stacks across all their classes too. Bigger family = better math.

How "the draft" works

All dance-related fees are collected on the 1st of each month via automatic draft. Once fees are collected, the next month's fees post to your customer portal so you can review them for accuracy. To avoid the draft, pay by check, cash, or Venmo at the front office before the 1st.

Step 3

Costume Fees

One costume, one dance. Combo classes have two dances — and therefore two costumes.

Per Dance

Recital Costume

Costume fee = 2 deposits · Oct + Nov
Per costume, per dance $110total
How it works: Students measured in October. The first costume deposit places a non-refundable down payment with costume companies. The second deposit (November) pays the balance to ensure costumes arrive in time for recital book pictures.

Note: Students in combo classes (e.g. Ballet/Tap) perform two dances at recital and need two costumes — $220 total. Be Bop / Hip Hop may require an additional shoe purchase for recital not covered in the costume fee.
