Tuition fees are calculated on an annual basis. For
instance, a class charged at $35/month is calculated at $350/year.
We then break that yearly fee up into 10 monthly installments (e.g.
$35/month), no matter how many classes are actually scheduled that
month. This explains tuition for months where we don't have a
full month of classes (e.g. September and June), or there are
vacations during the month.
2
The Nutcracker Performance fee is $15/dancer, no matter
how many roles they perform in the show. The Participation Fee covers
some of the cost of staging the production, including Costume
Rentals, Backdrops, Sets, etc. The Peformance fee is only payable
for Dancers taking part in the Nutracker. The cutoff for new
students joining the Nutcracker is November 1 each year (by teacher's
discretion).
3
The Recital Costume Balance is the cost of the Recital
Costume less the $20 deposit already paid. Students joining
after December 1 need to pay the entire costume fee at the time of
registration. Every costume is priced differently. As of
2016, the average cost of a costume is about $55. The cutoff for new
students joining the Recital is March 1 each year (subject to costume
availability).
4
Every Student requires studio regulation Revolution
brand tights for pictures and Recital. The tights requirements
(color/type) vary by class. Prices start at $7.50 for a pair of
children's footed tights.
