Annual Registration Fee
I agree an annual enrollment fee of $15 per dancer and $20 per immediate family will be collected at the time of registration.
Tuition & Billing
I am aware Expression Dance Studio will send me an invoice, via email, 14 days prior to the beginning of the upcoming session (PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THE E-MAIL ADDRESS PROVIDED IN THE CONTACT #1 FIELD ABOVE). Tuition is due the 1st of every month. A late fee of $15 will be applied after the 5th of every month. Tuition is based off of 10 month-long sessions. You do not need to re-enroll every month. If you choose to withdraw simply call or stop in the office to complete the withdrawal process before the new session begins on the first of the month A $20 fee will be charged to all returned checks. There are no refunds given for dancers who discontinue taking classes in the middle of a session. The tuition rate is a flat monthly fee, regardless of how many classes are in the month. You are not charged more when there are 5 classes in a month. Similarly, you are not charged less during months when there are fewer than 4 classes due to planned studio breaks.
Payment Policies
I am aware Expression Dance Studio will bill my credit card for the first month's tuition within 1-2 business days of registration. After the initial registration, Expression Dance Studio accepts cash, check, or credit card as payment. Payments may be mailed to the studio or turned in to the office. Payments may also be made online. If payment is not made before the 1st of the month, your credit card on file will automatically be charged for the balance due.
Refunds
I understand Expression Dance Studio will not issue refunds for any missed class or early withdrawal during a session. Dancers are encouraged to complete a makeup class(es) in the event of an absence. Classes must be made up before the recital in June 2021.
Contact Info Update
I understand if any of my contact information should change, especially my email address, I will contact the studio to provide this new information for billing and mailing purposes.
