Tuition Details

Tuition is calculated based on a 36-week dance season and divided into nine equal monthly installments. This structure accounts for all scheduled breaks, holidays, and recital week, during which our staff continues to work with and manage dancers.

Tuition is not prorated for extended breaks of a week or more (such as Christmas break), as these are already factored into our billing structure. However, tuition is prorated for single-day holidays or scheduled studio closures, except during recital week.

Monthly tuition charges begin August 1 and continue through May 1. We do not charge tuition in December to give families a small break during the holiday season. (Please Note: If you did not pay August tuition (due to enrolling late), then you will be charged half tuition on December 1).

All families are required to have a valid billing method saved on file. Accounts will be automatically drafted on the 1st of each month. A $10 late fee will be applied to any unpaid balance after the 15th of the month. All credit card payments processed when using credit cards from Visa, MasterCard, and Discover, will include a 2.89% surcharge based on the transaction amount. This does not apply to debit cards or other forms of payment.

Checks are not accepted for monthly payments. However, families who choose to pay the full season’s tuition up front by check or cash will receive a 5% discount.

All fees are non-refundable.

To drop or withdraw from a class, email notice must be received by our office no later than 14 days prior to the 1st of the upcoming month. If notice is received late, a $25 drop fee will be assessed.

If your account becomes more than two months past due, your child will not be permitted to return to class until the balance is paid in full.

Multi-student Discount: 5% discount for multiple students in the same household

Private Lessons: $50 per 30 minutes of class time (example: a single one-hour class session will cost $100)

Performance Ticket Sales
We understand that ticket costs can be a consideration for families, and we want to be transparent about why we charge admission for our Nutcracker Tea and Spring Recital events.

Producing high-quality, memorable performances for our dancers and their families requires a significant investment in both time and resources. Your ticket purchase helps cover many of the essential elements that make our shows so special, including:

• Theatrical venue rental to provide a beautiful, professional setting for our dancers to shine

• Vetted backstage childcare, so parents can fully enjoy the performance knowing their children are safe and supported

• Skilled lighting and sound technicians who create a polished, seamless experience

• A keepsake video of the show, included with your ticket, so your family can enjoy the performance for years to come

• A professional photographer who captures beautiful moments and offers downloadable photos for a minimal fee

• Continued pay for our dedicated faculty and staff, who work tirelessly behind the scenes and onstage to ensure each dancer feels confident, prepared, and proud

We strive to keep ticket prices reasonable while still offering a high-caliber experience that honors the work of our dancers and staff. Our goal is to create events that are not only performances, but cherished memories for the entire family. Tickets for the Nutcracker Tea start at $20. Tickets for Spring Recital start at $12. Thank you for supporting your dancer and our Danceworks community by helping make these productions possible.
