TUITION POLICIES

Tuition and Payment Policy -

Annual administrative fee (nonrefundable): 

$25 per student or $50 per family

There are three tuition payment options:

1. *One Payment – Pay the full tuition before the first class. No annual administration fee.

2. *Two Payments – Pay half before the first class and the remaining half by January 12th. Administration fee discounted by 50%. 

3. 9 Payments – Pay in 9 equal installments: the first is due at registration, then monthly on the 10th from October through May (10/10, 11/10, 12/10, 1/10, 2/10, 3/10, 4/10, 5/10). Full administration fee due. 

Choose your preferred option during registration (1/2/9).

*If you select the 1- or 2-payment plan but do not pay the full amount by the first day of classes, you will be charged the full administrative fee and switched to the 9-installment plan.

Monthly tuition is due by the 10th of each month. All accounts must have a valid credit card on file and will be auto-enrolled in autopay. Autopay will be processed on the 10th of each month.

To pay by cash or check, select E-Payment Schedule: Do Not Bill and submit payment before the 10th. 

Initial tuition and any administrative fee are due at registration. If not paid, your card will be charged within 72 hours. To pay this initial amount by cash or check, email info@solecitydance.org or note it in your registration form. A credit card is still required on file.

You are responsible for keeping your payment info current. Payments not received by the 17th will incur a $10 late fee. Accounts more than 14 days past due will be charged automatically. Accounts over 30 days past due will be dropped from classes and may lose their spot if a waitlist exists.

We run a 34-week program calendar. All classes meet the same number of times throughout the year. Tuition will not be prorated for missed classes due to illness, snow days, or scheduled holiday breaks.

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.

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.

If you’re having difficulty making payments, please reach out to Alex so we can help.

A $35 fee will be assessed for any returned checks. 

Withdrawal & Tuition Responsibility Policy -

Withdrawal & Tuition Responsibility Policy

By registering for a full dance year course, you are responsible for the full-year tuition unless you submit a written withdrawal notice by emailing info@solecitydance.org at least 30 days before the next billing cycle (billing occurs on the 10th of each month).

If you wish to withdraw before the dance year begins, notice must be given at least two weeks before the start date, which is August 28th. Withdrawals made less than two weeks before the start of the dance year will still be responsible for the first tuition installment.

Example:
To withdraw by December 10th, notice must be received by November 10th.
If notice is received after November 10th, tuition is still due through January 10th.

If in-studio classes are suspended due to a health emergency, instruction will shift to virtual classes. The withdrawal policy still applies.

Important:

• Tuition remains due until an official withdrawal email is received.

• Marking an absence in the portal or leaving a note does not count as formal withdrawal.

Refunds for Prepaid Tuition:
If you pay for the entire year or semester up front and later withdraw, any refund will be:

• Prorated based on the current billing cycle, and

• Reduced by the administrative (registration) fee
