Please find below the fee structure for 2018-2019. Feel free to contact Tara, our office manager at office@joyofdancenh.com if you have any fee-related queries.
Monthly tuition is due by the 1st of each month, and a late fee of $10 will be assessed for payments received after the 10th of the month. Please note, when choosing to pay monthly, tuition is calculated by the number of classes per year then divided into 9.5 payments for September-June, with May and June posted together as 1.5 months to allow enough time for balances to be taken care of before the end of the year.

Payment Policy
Payment is due in full on the first of every month. Payments not received by the 10th of the month will be assessed a $10 late fee. A credit card is required to be on file for all accounts. If you would like to pay by cash or check, please choose the E-payment schedule option “Do Not Bill- backup card“, otherwise your card will be charged on the 1st of each month. All unpaid accounts will get their cards charged on the 20th of the month for the outstanding balance plus $10 late fee.

Dropping/Changing Classes
Need to drop a class, add a class, or switch classes? Written or email notice is required by the 20th of the month to avoid being charged tuition for the following month. 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 a 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.
No refunds will be given for snow days, holidays, family vacations or other missed classes. Please contact the studio for opportunities to attend makeup classes. Registration and costume fees are non-refundable. Costumes will only be given to dancers that perform in the recital.
