Pay per Month (9 Month Installments) Card on File Charged the 1st of Each Month for September through May. Please note that vacations have been worked into the tuition, therefore, months will not be prorated. Closure for personal event allow for dancers to attend other classes for make ups. 1 week of classes cancelled for personal event in 2023-2024 Calendar - Miss Sofia (Our Assistant Director and Mariana's daughter) is getting married! *Please note that dancers are welcome and encouraged to take make up classes for the classes missed during this time period by attending any other class that is appropriate to their age! Please also note that make ups exclude Monday classes as we have planned to be open MLK day to make this up and that missed classes are only counted for recreational classes. Private classes will not be charged for any closed dates, therefore are not eligible to be made up. Make ups are to be used for classes that dancer is not enrolled in for 2023-2024 year. Competition classes are excluded since extra rehearsals are held through the season.
