Registration & Payment Policies

  • The registration fee for the ‘26-’27 school year is $45 per family. This is a non-refundable administrative fee.

  • For the school year program, your first monthly payment will serve to reserve a spot for your child. 30 days notice is required for all cancellations and drops. For both in-studio and virtual classes, this payment is refundable only up to 30 days before the session starts.

  • Our online system accepts Visa, MasterCard and Discover. If you prefer to pay by check or cash, please register via the online system, paying only the registration fee by credit card and call the office to notify us. For the school year, monthly tuition is due on the 1st of the month -- September through May. The session cost is divided into equal payments for your convenience and, due to holidays, weather, length of month, etc. is NOT based upon a specific number of classes each month. For credit/debit card payments, we offer auto pay to make it easier for you to make timely payments. If registering after the start of the session, contact the office (703-385-5580).

  • We offer multi-class and sibling discounts of 15% after the first class. Discounts are applied by the office after registration. Please note that discounts do not apply to private lessons.

  • Other Policies: Recital fees and costume costs* are included in tuition and are non-refundable once classes start. For late registrations, a non-refundable 'recital catch up fee' of $35/month is charged for each month between September and the registration date. Recital participation requires attendance at dress rehearsal the day before and each attending student receives (2) free recital tickets at check-in.

  • All monthly payments default to credit card auto-pay (for payment on the first of each month) unless you indicate otherwise at the time of registration or at any other time through the customer portal.

  • For monthly payments not on auto-pay, there will be a $20 late fee for any amount owed that is not received by the 10th of each month. This fee reflects our costs, including administration time, associated with past due balances. If you are on auto-pay and your credit card is declined, causing payment after the 10th, the late fee will be applied to your balance due. Although we try to notify customers of upcoming credit card expiration dates, if you are signed up for auto pay, it's your responsibility to keep your card information current via the portal. All declined charges requiring reprocessing by our office will incur a $15 administrative fee.

  • In the event of returned checks, there is a $35 bounce fee in addition to the face amount of the check. Although we try to be flexible and consider individual circumstances, if an account is not in good standing, we may not be able to allow your child to attend class until past due amounts are settled.

  • Students are enrolled for the full session unless you withdraw by giving 30 days advance notice in writing. Withdrawals are not accepted via telephone nor does simply notifying your teacher qualify as a withdrawal. After written notification of withdrawal is sent, we will send you an acknowledgement and you will be responsible for tuition payments as stated.

  • We reserve the right to cancel any class not meeting minimum enrollment requirements or teacher availability. If class is cancelled before starting, full refunds will be given. If a class is cancelled after several sessions, you will only be charged for the classes actually taken and the balance of tuition and registration fee will be returned.

  • With regard to virtual classes, due to the nature of Internet service, 3rd party hosting of live-streaming and other uncontrollable circumstances, there are no refunds for missed classes. Make-ups can be used in any other age-appropriate virtual class offered.

  • Tuition for private lessons includes a single dancer. We require 48 hours notice for a cancellation or postponement. If less than 48 hours notice, full payment will be charged.

  • Please note that for 'Combo' classes, a second costume fee of $90 (not included in tuition) will be required.
