Payment Procedure

Registration fees are paid when a child enrolls in a class ($30.00 per child). Registration fees are non-refundable. These fees are required upon registering at any time during the year. Any child registering during January or after will pay a $15.00 registration fee. Pre-registration is held April through May to ensure that your child will have a place for the following year.

The dance year has thirty-six class meetings, inclusive of activities. The fee schedule is divided into eight payments. April and May are paid as one payment requiring two months tuition. Each month is a full month’s fee. No reductions are given for absences. No reductions are given for closures, since the closures are built into the schedule.   Any closures due to inclimate weather will not be made up.

It is imperative that checks be made out to the proper business. Checks for dance classes are to be made out to Dancing Feet Academy (DFA). Checks cannot be made out for gymnastics and dance together. Should this occur, the check will be returned to you, and a late fee will be added unless proper payment is made by the tenth of the month. If you pay in cash, a receipt will be rendered through the Pro Shop. Receipts are not given for checks. Your check is your receipt. A payment box is provided for drop-ins. The drop-box is cleared several times a day. Payment is due by the 1st of the month. If it is not in the drop box by the 10th day, it is considered late, and a late fee will be charged to your account. There will be no exceptions. *Please correctly date your checks. A date stamp is used after the tenth of the month to separate the late checks. The Pro Shop is very busy during the first two weeks of each month. Please know your correct payment and remember to write your child’s name on the check.

Again, if payment is not received by the tenth of the month, there will be a $10.00 late fee added to your child’s account automatically by the computer. If the late fee is not added into the tuition payment (paid after the 10th of each month), you will receive a bill for the late fee and/or the amount due. A $30.00 service fee will be charged for all returned checks.

Sufficient time is given for overdue bills to be paid. After three months, bad debts will be turned over to a collection agency, and the party in question will be responsible for the collection fees.
