TUITION
Dance Tuition Information & Policies for Academic Year Programs 2023-2024:
For adult classes, tuition fees are the same as regular class tuition fees. Our tuition fees are based on class length. You can find the adult class withdrawal and make-up policies on the Adult Dance page.
TUITION POLICIES
Sole City Dance requires the registration fee and first month’s tuition in advance in order to hold a student’s spot in a class and to be sure classes have the necessary enrollment to run.
Please understand that upon registration for a full-year course, you are responsible for the full-year tuition unless you notify us in writing by the 10th of the prior month.
You will be responsible for the full tuition for the upcoming month on any withdrawal made after the 10th of the month.
If we are required to stop in-studio due to a health emergency we will transition to virtual classes. The withdrawal policy remains the same. If you do not formally withdraw from a class tuition fees are still due.
An annual administrative fee of $25 per student or $50 per family (3 or more students) will be charged for those participating in academic-year programs who wish to pay in 10 installments due the fifteenth of each month. Discounts on the administrative fee are given to those who pay for the year in full (no fee) or in 2 payments (50% off fee).
A fee of $30.00 will be charged for returned checks to cover bank fees and administrative expenses.
If paying in 10 installments payments are due at the time of registration and then subsequently on the 15th of the month (Sept 15, Oct 15, Nov 15, Dec 15, Jan 15, Feb 15, March 15, April 15, May 15). A $10 late fee will be applied to all tuition payments not received within 7 days of the due date (by the 22nd of the month). When tuition becomes overdue by more than 14 days, the credit card on file will be billed for the full amount due.
Tuition will not be prorated for missed classes due to illness, snow days, or scheduled holiday breaks. We run on a 35-week program calendar. All classes meet the same amount of times during the dance year.*
There are no refunds for short-term course or monthly tuition. At the discretion of the director, refunds may be given to those who have prepaid for half the year or full-year with written notice of withdrawal.
Registration for fall programs will not be allowed if a tuition balance remains on your account from the prior year or summer.
*The Teen Saturday ballet class will only meet 31 times and the tuition has been prorated accordingly in our system.
Please note: All tuition accounts must be current by the start of the winter holiday break or dance concert costumes will not be ordered for your child.
Full-year Class Payment Options:
Full Year Payment
Payment due at registration, no administrative fee

1st payment of 50% and administrative fee (50% off) due at registration, balance due by January 16, 2023
