Please find below the fee structure for the 2022-2023 dance year. Feel free to contact Elissa, our studio manager at [email protected] if you have any fee-related queries.
2022-2023 Dance Season-
A first-month tuition deposit and the annual membership fee are required at the time of registration. Monthly tuition is due in full by the 25th of the preceding month, and accounts not paid in full after the 1st of the month will have their balance charged to the card on file. Accounts with balances after the 1st of the month will have a $10 late fee added to their account. If a balance has not been paid by the 15th of the month, the dancer will not be able to participate in class until the account is up to date. This policy helps us to focus less time on collecting payments and more time on giving our dancers the best possible dance experience!
Tuition payments will be auto-charged on the 25th of the month, except for December and May, which will be charged on the 20th of the month.
Example-
- September 20th- October tuition will be posted
- September 25th- Auto-pay cards will be charged for October tuition
- October 1st- Accounts with balances will be charged to the back up card
- October 2nd- $10 late fee will be applied to all accounts with a balance
If choosing to pay annually, full payment is due upon registration by cash or check only.
If you would like to pay by cash or check, please note your registration and choose the E-payment schedule option “Backup card” in the parent portal, otherwise, your card will be charged on the 25th of the preceding month.
If your card needs to be updated, please do so within 48 hours of notification to avoid a $10 late fee. There is a $35.00 returned check charge for any checks returned by the bank.
Cash or check payments are accepted during class hours via the tuition box on the office half-wall and must be received BEFORE the 1st of the month to avoid your card being charged.
Tuition for 2022-2023
When choosing to pay monthly, tuition is calculated by the number of classes per year then divided into 10 payments for August-May (unless you have paid your first-month tuition deposit prior to August 25th).
Tuition payments will be auto-charged on the 25th of the month, with the exception of December and May, which will be charged on the 20th of the month.

Discounts
2022-2023 Dance Season- We offer a multi-class discount!
We encourage our dancers to get the most out of their dance experience at Joy of Dance by taking more than one technique class each week. Therefore, we offer the following discounts for taking multiple classes per week:
- Tuition is discounted 10% off on each additional class.
Other special class discounts:
- Pay for the full year at the time of registration and receive 5% off. Cash/Check only accepted for this discount to apply and the tuition must be paid before the dancer’s first class. There will be no refunds if you choose to pay annually, so please plan accordingly. *As Apprentices already receive a monthly discount, they do not qualify for this 5% paid in full discount.
Summer dance tuition policy:
Payment is due in full at the time of registration. If preferred, a $25 non-refundable registration fee can be paid at the time of registration, with the balance of tuition due one month prior to the start of classes.

Dropping/Changing Classes
2022-2023 Dance Season-
Written or email notice is required by the 15th of the month to avoid being charged tuition for the following month. After the written or email notice, you will be required to fill out the “Request for Class Withdrawal” form sent to you. Please note that the drop is not complete until the form is submitted. This allows us time to offer that class space to another student. Students will be charged monthly tuition until written notice is given to drop class. Any dancer that doesn’t attend class for 2 months will be dropped from the roster, however the unpaid tuition will still be due. Any dancer that drops from classes or the studio will forfeit any costumes or fees they have previously paid. There will be no refunds.
