Tuition & Payment Policy
Ask a QuestionMonthly Tuition
MONTHLY INVESTMENT
Tuition is based on a monthly fee and not a per class basis. Payment is the same no matter how many times your child attends class. If class has to be canceled due to bad weather or teacher illness, you will be notified, and a makeup class scheduled. I ask that you only sign up for dance if you are committed to finish through the June recital.

DANCE FEES 2023-24
When it comes to pricing, we always strive to offer the best value in Utah County. We want high quality training in the arts to be accessible to as many children as possible.
Registration: A yearly $20 registration fee is required to enroll each student. There is a $50 maximum registration fee per family. (For students enrolled in summer, you have already been charged the registration fee.) Registration fee is non-refundable.
Recitals: There will be a $30 recital fee per family per performance. Each ticket will cost $8 plus a small handling fee by the ticket venue. Recital fees are due by February 1, 2024. You will be sent an email as a reminder in January.
Costumes: Students will have between 2-5 costumes depending on their level and number of performances. The purchase price of costumes is between $50-$100. Whenever possible, we will rent costumes to keep costs down for parents. Costume rental fees are $35-$40. A non-refundable $35-$100 (see class descriptions on website for exact amount) costume deposit will be required. Open class and musical theater costume deposits are due upon enrollment. Company costume deposit is due on October 1. The deposit will be credited toward costume fees for the year. Final costume payments are due April 1 for any remaining amount due.
