Tuition is due on the 1st of every month. A late fee of $10.00 will be added to your account by midnight, the 5th of the month. If payment is not received by the 10th of the month dancers will not be able to participate. Tuition remains the
same regardless of absences or holiday breaks. Tuition is not prorated for Holiday months. Tuition may be paid by cash, debit, or credit card (major credit cards are accepted), or money order (no checks). Cash payments are encouraged to be the exact amount as we usually do not have change.

School age children and teens: please practice respect. Dance class is educational and fun, however, an important part of class work is developing an attitude of discipline and respect for teachers and fellow students. We trust that following our classroom etiquette will provide an environment whereby classes at Indulgence Dance Studio will be a pleasure for all concerned. If we find any dancer not being respectful to others they will be dismissed.
