ACADEMY POLICIES

TUITION

Registration Fee
This is a non-refundable application fee paid by all students to secure a place in class. The fee is $20 per child; $30 per family.

Payment Schedule
Tuition is based on a 9 month calendar year from September through May. Tuition payments are based on a tri-annual payment plan for the recreational dance program and are due by Sept. 1st, Dec. 1st and March 1st. Payments for the competitive dance program are due at the beginning of every month. All tuition and costume balances must be paid in full in order to participate in our annual recital.

Family Discounts
Family discounts apply only to immediate family members of the recreational dance program. A reduction of 10% will be taken off the trimester payment of the sibling with the fewest number of classes.

Late Fees
A Late Fee of $15 will be charged for payments not received within 15 days of the due date.

Refunds and Withdrawals
There are NO REFUNDS for missed classes. Missed classes, however, may be made-up within a month of the absence. Should you decide to withdraw from any classes, Loperfido Dance Academy requires a withdrawal form to be completed and signed. You will be responsible for the tuition balance up until the date the withdrawal form is received. Refunds will be given from the date the notice is received through your remaining paid balance of class time.

School Schedule and Inclement Weather
Classes are not necessarily cancelled when school is cancelled. During inclement weather, we highly recommend calling the studio 1 hour prior to your scheduled class to see if your class is cancelled. Since this is not a weekly tuition, the rates are not adjusted from class cancelled due to holidays, inclement weather or other uncontrollable circumstances. Likewise, there is NO EXTRA CHARGE for months that have 5 classes.

Acceptable Forms of Payment
Payments may be made by cash or check only. No credit cards will be accepted at this time. A $20.00 service fee will be charged for all returned checks.

RECITAL and COSTUME INFORMATION

Each student will need one costume for each dance performed in the annual recital. A deposit of $50 per costume will be due by November 1st . Costumes will be ordered over winter break. All remaining costume balances will be due by March 1st. Once a costume has been ordered, there are NO REFUNDS/CREDITS. All balances must be paid in full to receive costumes.

Costume Payment Schedule

Our recital is held in June. Information regarding ticket sales, picture week, dress rehearsal, recital date and location will be announced at a later date.
