Tuition


A non-refundable annual registration fee is required to set up your account.  Annual tuition is based on a nine & ½ month seasonal fee, September (non refundable) thru ½ of June.  Annual tuition includes a total of 38 classes and is figured on an average of 4 weeks per month, although some months may contain 3 or 5 actual weeks (note that technical and dress rehearsals are considered lesson 37 and 38). Multiple class discounts are available for dancers taking more than one class.

Make Up Classes

Tuition is due in full for all classes regardless of class attendance and is not prorated for reasons such as illness, vacations, or weather. Make up class is available upon consultation with the instructor or secretary. Class size is limited so make up class must be scheduled.

Parent Observation

Individual instructors determine class viewing policy. We encourage and support an open door policy; however please honor the viewing preferences set by your instructor.

Withdrawal

When a student will no longer be attending classes, it is the parent's responsibility to officially withdraw the child from class by filling out a withdrawal form at the studio in person. Until the dancer is officially withdrawn, we will consider the student to be active in the dance program. The parent will continue to be financially responsible for the tuition up until the exact date that Bartelt Dancers receives the withdrawal form.
