Quarterly Payments:
Registration for the 2023-2024 Season will open on July 1, 2023. When you register you will set up a Parent Portal. This is an easy way to stay informed. For the 2023-2024 Dance Season September-May, we will use a quarterly payment system. We are moving away from automatic monthly credit card/ACH payments, since the fees have gone up a lot. The quarterly payments should make it easier for parents to keep track of their payments. The system is still set up to take credit cards if you would like.
The quarterly payment are due as follows:
-
First Payment due no later than the first day of classes, along with Annual Processing /Registration Fee.
-
Second Payment will be deducted/is due on November 1 with costume fees.
-
Third Payment will be deducted/is due on January 1.
-
Fourth Payment will be deducted/is due on March 1.
It should be noted that any payments made after the 7th of the quarterly payment month
will be charged a $5 late fee. That fee will continue each week until payment is made. Returned checks will be charged a fee.
You may choose to pay for the entire season upon registering. If you choose this method the Annual Processing/Registration fee will be waived. Please email us at velocitydance5678@gmail.com if you would like to pay in full at registration. This will allow us to waive the fee.
Registration/Processing Fee:
There is a non-refundable Annual Processing Fee per family due with the first quarterly payment. (Does not apply to summer)
The current annual processing fee is $30.
If paying in full at the beginning of the fall session, this fee is waived.
Prior to the first class=Full Refund less the Processing/Registration Fees.
After first class=No refunds or credits.
Other expenses:
All students will need to purchase a leotard and tights or boys attire and the correct shoes.
Please see our dress code for what to purchase. We prefer Flying D Dancewear in the Metro Center for all of your dance wear needs. She carries the exact colors for our dress code.
Recital :
All students registering for the Fall/Spring 2023-2024 Season are expected to perform in our annual recital.
Recital Costumes will be ordered mid-November. Students are encouraged to fundraise to help parents pay for the costumes.
Students will pay per costume. All costumes will include the appropriate type of tights, so that everyone matches. The costume and tights together usually range between $80-$125. Totals will be posted in the Parent Portal by October 20. Costume payments are due along with the November 1 quarterly payment.
Absences:
If a student must miss classes due to illness or other activities, the student has the option to make up the class.
Usually, a lower level class or a same level class in a different genre is preferable. Makeup is optional.
Weather related closures may also be made up in the same manner.
No credits will be given for missed classes.
