Calendar

Classes begin on August 16, 2010 and will go through June 17, 2011. (The 2011 Recital is tentatively scheduled for May 28, 2011). We will closely follow the Tomball Independent School District Schedule.

Registration

Tuition as well as the registration form and registration fee of $25 per student or $35 per family will be required in order to register for fall classes. This fee is non-refundable and will only be required once a year. Summer classes do not require a registration fee. Parents may sign up for automatic billing or they may pay month to month; however, if dropping a class, notice must be given at least one week prior to the following month’s tuition due date. If no notice is given, tuition will be owed as usual.

Tuition Payments

Tuition is based on the number of hours a student is taking for the entire term (Ten Months) and is divided into ten monthly payments beginning August 16 and ending in May. Tuition is due by the 15th of each month and is considered late if not paid by the 18th. (Reminder notices will NOT be sent out each month!). A $10.00 late fee will be added to tuition on the 18th day of each month. Registration fees and tuition are non-refundable. Tuition will NOT be pro-rated for missed classes.

Tuition Discounts

We do have a family discount for those families that have more than one child. A 30% discount will be given to each families’ second, third or fourth child as well as a 30% discount will be given to any boys enrolled in the dance program.

There is an administrative fee of $5.00/month/student for the off-campus PE program. We are currently approved with Tomball ISD, Conroe ISD, and we are working on Klein ISD.

Class Placement

The Studio of Tomball faculty will determine class placement for all students. Participation in classes is based on ability, attendance, attitude, and cooperation of the student. Students can be moved to lower levels or dropped from classes if they fail to meet the above requirements. Students may not change classes or levels without authorization from the teacher and the front desk.

Dropping Classes

Please contact the front desk if you need to drop a class. We do not refund tuition for dropped or missed classes; however, we will arrange for make-up classes for any dancer with a physician’s note. In cases of longterm illness or travel, please contact the front desk so that arrangements for a pause in tuition may be arranged or in more serious circumstances, a termination of tuition.

Costumes

There is a $30 costume deposit due October 15 for each costume that the student will require for the concert. Costume deposits and fees are non-refundable after November 15. Costumes range from $50 to $95 depending on the age and type of costume that is chosen for dancers.

Spring Concert Tickets

Each family will receive two tickets to the Spring Recital with their paid Recital Fee. However, additional tickets will be available for family and friends for $5.00 per ticket. Dancers do not need a ticket to the recital. A portion of the proceeds will be used for the improvement of the studio (such as sound equipment, etc) and/or a scholarship for graduating dancers.
