1. Tuition - You're paying for the full season of dance. The dance program year runs Sept. 2009-June 2010. You may choose the option of paying in full for the season or as a convenience for you, we break down the program's tuition into10 easy monthly installment payments.Your tuition installment payment will be the same every month. Each installment is due the first week of the month. If payments are not received by the 14th of each month a $10.00 late fee will be applied to your account. If for some reason you fall two months behind in tuition installment payments, your child will be suspended until the outstanding balance is paid. June's installment payment is due no later than September 30th and is refundable if your child quits dance before December or costumes are ordered. The program must be paid in full by the recital dress rehearsal or your child will not be permitted to perform on stage. We now have a credit card option, just call the office.
2. Absence - If your child is absent, they may make up the class. There is no time limit on make ups, You have all year to do so. Please keep in mind after December, each class will be learning a different dance for the recital. You are still more than welcome to make up a class after December, but your child will not be practicing their dance at that time.
3. Snow Days/Holidays - We very rarely call a snow day. If we do, you may make up that class at your convenience. We are closed for Halloween,Thanksgiving, Christmas and Memorial Day and those days will not be made up.
4. Statements - You will only receive a statement if you hand in a payment after the 14th of the month. Since your tuition is the same every month, we do not feel it necessary to hand out statements. You will only receive a statement after the $10.00 late fee is charged to your account as a reminder that your payment is overdue. Kindercare , Goddard School and Bright Horizons dance program participants are encouraged to mail their payments directly to the school. Our address is All That Dance 440 Chandler Rd, Jackson NJ 08527. You can give it to your school directors, but they are not responsible for getting it to us in a timely manner, and your account can end up with an unnecessary late fee.
