TUITION POLICIES

Tuition and Payment Policy -

Annual administrative fee (nonrefundable): 

$25 per student or $50 per family

There are three tuition payment options:

1. *One Payment – Pay the full tuition before the first class. No annual administration fee.

2. *Two Payments – Pay half before the first class and the remaining half by January 12th. Administration fee discounted by 50%. 

3. 9 Payments – Pay in 9 equal installments: the first is due at registration, then monthly posted on the 1st of each month and due by the 10th from October through May. Full administration fee due. 

Choose your preferred option during registration (1/2/9).

*If you select the 1- or 2-payment plan but do not pay the full amount by the first day of classes, you will be charged the full administrative fee and switched to the 9-installment plan.

Monthly tuition is posted on the 1st of the month and due by the 10th of each month. All accounts must have a valid credit card on file and will be auto-enrolled in autopay. Autopay will be processed on the 10th of each month.

To pay by cash or check, select E-Payment Schedule: Do Not Bill and submit payment before the 10th. 

The initial tuition payment and any applicable administrative fees are due at the time of registration. If payment is not made during registration, the credit card on file will be charged within 72 hours.

Families wishing to pay the initial amount by cash or check must email info@solecitydance.org or note their payment preference on the registration form. A valid credit card is still required to be kept on file for all accounts.

If the initial tuition payment is not received within one week of registration, the student's enrollment may be canceled and their spot released to another student.

If you plan to apply for a scholarship or other tuition assistance, please notify us at the time of registration.

You are responsible for keeping your payment info current. Payments not received by the 15th will incur a $10 late fee. Accounts more than 10 days past due will be charged automatically. Accounts over 30 days past due will be dropped from classes and may lose their spot if a waitlist exists.

We run a 34-week program calendar. All classes meet the same number of times throughout the year. Tuition will not be prorated for missed classes due to illness, snow days, or scheduled holiday breaks.

There are no refunds for short-term course or monthly tuition. At the discretion of the director, partial refunds may be given to those who have prepaid for half the year or full-year with written notice of withdrawal.

Registration for fall programs will not be allowed if a tuition balance remains on your account from the prior year or summer.

Please note: All tuition accounts must be current by the start of the winter holiday break or dance concert costumes will not be ordered for your child.

If you’re having difficulty making payments, please reach out to Alex so we can help.

A $35 fee will be assessed for any returned checks. 

Withdrawal & Tuition Responsibility Policy -

Enrollment in a full-year dance course constitutes a commitment to the full-year tuition. To withdraw, a written notice must be submitted via email to info@solecitydance.org by the 15th of the month. Withdrawals submitted after the 15th will be charged for the upcoming month's tuition.

*Due to the high demand and specialized nature of our aerial program, withdrawals from full-year aerial classes will be accepted through November 15. After November 15, families will be responsible for the remaining tuition balance for the dance year, regardless of attendance.

If you wish to withdraw before the dance year begins, notice must be given by August 24th to receive a refund of any tuition payments made. Registration fees are nonrefundable. Withdrawals made less than two weeks before the start of the dance year are still be responsible for the first tuition installment and will not be refunded.

Example:
To withdraw by December 1st, notice must be received by November 15th.
If notice is received after November 15th, December’s tuition installment is still due.

If in-studio classes are suspended due to a health emergency, instruction will shift to virtual classes. The withdrawal policy still applies.

Important:

• Tuition remains due until an official withdrawal email is received.

• Marking an absence in the portal or leaving a note does not count as formal withdrawal.

Refunds for Prepaid Tuition:
If you pay for the entire year or semester up front and later withdraw, any refund will be:

• Prorated based on the current billing cycle, and

• Reduced by the administrative (registration) fee
