you are unsure about the number of dances your child will be in, please feel free to
ask. Costume payments must be made in CASH only. COSTUME PAYMENTS

additional fee.

charge will be added to your account. Cost will be $5 for every $100 owed. Ex:

Payment Policy
Tuition is due on a monthly basis and is based on a 3-5 week session. Tuition remains the
same regardless of the number of weeks in a month, or if the student is absent. If there are 2
or less weeks in the month due to vacations, your account will be prorated for that month's
tuition. Tuition must be kept up-to-date in order for the student to participate in class.
Discounted monthly tuition is due by the 1st of each month. Cash and check payments are
accepted for class tuition. Please make all check payments out to "Kelly's Dance Academy".
There is a $25 fee for any returned checks.
Class tuition is non-refundable but may be transferred for another class credit for the same
family so long as there is space available.

Make-up Lesson Policy
If a student is absent from class, and they have missed part of their recital dance
due to that absence, you are entitled to a make-up lesson. Please phone the studio
to schedule an appointment before their next scheduled class to learn the material
that was missed. An assistant instructor will work with the student until the missed
material is learned.
**Students do not go into other classes for make-up lessons due to
instructor/student ratios and age/ability variations of classes and material taught -
unless otherwise specified.
**Make-up lessons are not given due to holiday cancellations.
