Safety Procedures
Ace requires that all parents and dancers stay up to date and abide by Ace's current Safety Procedures.

The account on file is automatically charged a non-refundable registration fee upon completion of enrollment. School Year Registrants: Single student registration is $40 and family registration is $65 for families who enroll multiple children. Applies only to students enrolling in a class with space available; does not apply to students enrolling on a wait list unless a space becomes available and student receives a space in class. Summer Registrants: Registration is $25 for students new to Ace; does not apply to students currently enrolled.
Tuition Policies
Ace requires automatic bill pay via bank draft or credit card. Tuition is non-refundable and non-transferable and refunds will not be given for any reason. School Year Registrants: Tuition comes out automatically on the 15th of the month prior (Aug tuition comes out on July 15th, etc.) and there is a $25 late payment fee for declined/expired cards or delinquent accounts which will be strictly enforced. Parents who wish to pay with cash or check must do so by the 14th of the month, or tuition will be deducted from the account on file automatically. Parents are responsible for tuition payments for the entire school year July 15th-May 15th. Tuition rate is the same amount every month, regardless of how many classes fall within that month. Summer Registrants: Tuition for the summer session is withdrawn directly upon completion of registration.
Withdrawal Policy
School Year Registrants: To withdraw from a class, parents must email info@acedanceacademy.com by the 14th of the month to discontinue charges to the account for the following month.
Level Placement
School Year Registrants: Students must meet age requirement for class by September 1. Summer Registrants: Students must meet age requirement for class by July 1. Students age 8 or older must be evaluated for level placement if they wish to enroll in levels higher than level White. Returning students must evaluate to place in new dance styles. Parents are required to contact the office to schedule an evaluation prior to registration. Level placement is determined by Ace Dance Academy.
Costume Fees
School Year Registrants: Ace will automatically withdraw the Costume Deposit(s) from the account in Nov unless parent registers for Production Opt-Out Class that student wishes to opt out of participation in the end of year show. The Nov deduction is $72 for each class in which the student is enrolled (Ex: 2 classes = $144). If your child's costume(s) are more than $72, the remaining balance(s) will be charged to the account in Dec. For students who enroll after these costume withdrawals, costume fees are due upon registration and must be paid if student wishes to participate in the show. All costume fees are non-refundable. Costume fees paid after Nov/Dec costume withdrawals will include a $15 processing fee for each costume. The last day to pay costume fees to participate in the June production is Feb 1. The following are not included in Costume Fees and must be purchased separately: required show tights/socks, dance shoes, production tickets, and photos. Please note that some classes are non-performance classes.
