Tuition payments for School Year Classes are for 32 classes.  In the Studio’s sole discretion, students may receive additional classes at no extra charge. The Studio’s schedule is set with more than 32 classes to allow some room for bad weather days or other circumstances out of our control.

If your debit or credit card is declined, you are responsible for providing a new card within five (5) days of receiving notice of the declined card.  You will be charged a $25.00 fee for any checks returned to the Studio marked NSF. You will be charged a $15.00 late fee for any payments not received by the 10th day of the month the payment is due.
