Fees and Policies
Aiming to provide transparency
Dance classes are an amazing way to keep your child active, engaged, and healthy. Please find our financial policies and fees of what a typical season may cost.
Financial Policies
-
Tuition is based on the number of classes your child is taking. This is then spread into 8 equal monthly payments due by the 10th of the month from October through May. Regardless of attendance or closure, tuition is never prorated.
-
A $15 late fee will be assessed to those accounts with outstanding tuition balances on the 11th day of the month unless a payment plan has been signed.
-
Any balances due after 30 days of posting will be assessed a $15 late fee per each 30 days for any other fees, including but not limited to store merchandise, recital programs, warmups, and any other fees.
-
You must submit notice IN WRITING of any dropped classes by the 20th of the month PRIOR to when your child will be dropping classes. You may submit the form on this website, email the board at thestudiohavre@gmail.com, or submit a form via the payment box at the studio.
-
You will still be liable for any and all fees associated with any class unless we receive a drop notification per studio policy.
-
Tuition, costumes, deposits and any other fees are non-refundable. Please notify a board member if there are extenuating circumstances, we will evaluate if needed on a case-by-case basis.
-
Your account must be in good standing in order to purchase items from the studio store, participate in competitions or workshops, perform solos/duets/trios, purchase warmups, and any other "extras".
-
Solos, duets, trios and extracurricular dances are arranged between the student and the instructor/choreographer. Such dances are not billed from the studio and additional policies apply. See the handbook for the policy on solos, duets, trios, and extracurricular dances.

Tuition
Tuition is split into 8 monthly payments, each due by the 10th of the month from October through May. Our tuition is capped at $160 per month. In addition to tuition, there is a costume deposit of $25 per enrolled class due by November 15th. These deposits do not apply to the December Gala costumes, only the June recital.

*For sibling discounts, the child enrolled in the most classes is charged full tuition. The second child will receive a 50% discount on their tuition, the third child receives a 75% discount on their tuition, and 4 or more children would be free. ​
Performance Costumes
Costumes for the December and June performances are one of the most anticipated things amongst dancers. We pour many hours into curating the perfect costume collection for our students while keeping budgets in mind. As such, we cap all costumes at $85 each excluding shoes and accessories and we do not upcharge our costumes - we make no money off of costume purchases. To keep costs even lower, we do at least one studio-wide fundraiser that goes toward a costume credit that will be applied to each June recital costume! The credit varies from year to year based on fundraising participation, but we are typically able to offer anywhere from 50 percent to 100 percent off the final costume bill after deposits have been applied. ​
