We have been fortunate in our lives to have had many opportunities for creative expression, through theatre, music and especially dance. We think it's important for every young person to have that kind of creative outlet, no matter what their future goals and aspirations may be. Through years of experience, we have discovered the correlation of music and its positive effects on brain development, academic achievement and social development. We are committed to bringing out the best in every child, as well as making the performing arts learning experience as rewarding and as fun as possible.
Pay Tuition Online-- Our new Studio software system will allow you to check and pay your balance all in one place. You will need to login to DanceStudio-Pro, click on “Account”, and then click on “Pay Online”. You will be able to enter the amount you want to pay per student and leave a memo for what the payment is for. Super Easy!. Option 1: One-time tuition payment Option 2: Set up a recurring payment (this will deduct the tuition from your account every month) Discount options
Family discount - All those that have more than one child participating in the center’s classes will receive a 10% discount.
Discounts are automatically calculated in the system except for the year discount. If you want to pay for the year in August, please let me know so I can manually enter it into the system.
Tuition is due at the beginning of every month.
Tuition is based on the total number of classes per year and then divided per month. Students who miss class due to illness or vacation will not be able to make up class time missed and TUITION IS EXPECTED TO BE PAID ON TIME AND IN FULL. If for some reason I have an emergency and need to cancel class, I will set up a make-up class. Classes will not be made up if canceled due to severe weather conditions. All classes are held once a week unless there is a holiday.
Go to Dance and Drama Classes page for the list of fees for each class **With our new software and to save on paper, we will be emailing your statement every month. If for some reason you do not have a working email, or you would prefer to have your statement printed, please let me know.
Holidays and Important Dates We follow the St. James parish school district calendar for holidays. The calendar can be found in the Parent Portal
