"All Inclusive Payment Plan" - NEW THIS SEASON

Your Monthly Payment Plan will now include the cost of tuition, recital fee, and costume fee(s). Meaning that at no time will you ever owe a larger amount throughout the season! The amount owed remains the same whether it is a long (5 lesson) month or a short (3 lesson) month and regardless of absences. Tuition is not prorated for holiday months. The all inclusive payment plan amount is a one set price based on your agreement to register for our dance season. However, payments are broken down monthly. THE MONTHLY AMOUNT IS DUE THE 1ST OF EVERY MONTH. Payment must be made using the student poral via card or bank account. A late fee of $15 will be added to your account on the 5th of the month.

All payments MUST BE PAID ONLINE, USING THE STUDENT PORTAL.. Students with delinquent accounts of 30 days or more will be dismissed. Accounts must be paid in full to pick up costumes, participate in the recital, and / or to register for a new dance season.

Recital and Tickets:

Our recital will take place on a Saturday in late May / early June (usually the third weekend of May). The exact date will be posted by January 2025. All recital participants are REQUIRED to attend a full dress-rehearsal on the Friday beforehand. The actual recital(s) will be on Saturday - Ballet 1, Ballet 2, and Tap 1 are all only in one show. All other classes do two shows (12pm and 4pm on the same Saturday). Recital tickets will be available at the studio a few weeks before the event and at the door on recital night. Detailed ticket info will be passed out closer to our show date.

NSF Payments:

Amy’s Elite Dance Force will automatically debit any credit card on file for the amount of any NSF Paper Check Transaction plus a $30 NSF fee. There is a $15 fee for a declined credit card transaction that will be automatically added to your account. Please keep all cards on file current.

Absences:

There are no refunds or credits given if a student is absent from class. You are able to make-up classes within the same month in another class of the same level. In the event that your usual instructor is absent, another qualified member of our staff will be available to substitute the lesson. If a substitute cannot be provided, the class will be rescheduled by the instructor.

Termination of Lessons:

A withdrawal form must be signed to discontinue any lessons. The withdrawal form must be filled out by the first of the month it is intended for. Withdrawals must be done in person and will not be accepted over the phone. To withdraw from lessons a parent or adult student must:

1. Inform the front desk.

2. Pay off all fees owed on your studio account

3. Complete and sign a withdrawal form provided by Amy’s Elite Dance Force

Payment Policies and Procedures

We require a credit/debit card or bank account to be put on file in your student’s account. All monthly payments are due by the 1st of the month. A late fee of $15 will be added on the 5th of the month. If there is no payment made by the 10th of the month, your card will be charged that month’s balance along with the $15 late fee. To avoid this from happening, please be sure to update payment info on the online portal or drop off your payment to the studio. All studio fees are required to be paid online this season. To be exempt from putting a card on file you have the option of paying all 9 months of tuition in advance. Also, any dancer who pays for their full tuition in advance will receive a 10% discount on tuition for the season. Note: Credit cards do have a 3% surcharge. Bank Accounts have no additional charges. 

We, the staff at Amy’s Elite Dance Force, recognize our obligation to make sure our students and their parents are aware of the risks and hazards involved in the sport of dance. By signing this online waiver, you release Amy’s Elite Dance Force and all its employees from all claims on account of any injury which may be sustained by you or your child while attending any dance class, event, or outside performance. In signing this waiver, you also acknowledge your responsibility in paying monthly tuition, any associated costume fees, entry / recital fees for performances or competitions, and all other communicated costs involved. You also affirm you now have and will continue to carry proper primary medical, health, hospitalization, and accident insurance which you consider adequate for the protection of both your child and Amy’s Elite Dance Force. By signing this online waiver, you also provide Amy’s Elite Dance Force permission to use any class and / or performance photos/videos of your dancer for promotional and registration purposes.
