Payment methods accepted:

  • Cash or personal check

Monthly tuition payments are due on the first of each month. To avoid a late fee penalty, pay any outstanding balance by the fifth of any given month where tuition is due. Any accounts with an outstanding balance will be e-mailed an invoice on the 15th of the month. Late fee penalty is $25. If there is an extenuating circumstance and special arrangements need to be made please speak to Erica Ueberroth.

All tuition is non-refundable, however, exceptions are made with a doctor’s note stating the medical reason necessary for withdrawal or if a class is cancelled due to low enrollment and a substitution is not available. You must provide one month’s advance notice in writing if a student plans to leave the program.

Tuition for missed classes is not refunded. Make up classes are available. See Artistic Directors for best options for your dancer. Monthly tuition is based on an average of the season including holidays and breaks. Any student who misses 4 classes and tuition is not paid risks losing their place in class.

All classes are subject to minimum and maximum enrollment. Any registrations received after maximum enrollment has been reached will be refunded; if a class is cancelled for insufficient enrollment, any registrations for it will be refunded.

Civic Dance Center reserves the right to refuse or terminate enrollment for any reason. No refund of the current month’s tuition will be made upon termination of the agreement; however, future monthly automatic payments will cease upon notification.
