Annual Registration Fee
An annual registration/enrollment fee of $50 per student is due upon initial enrollment for our
regular season of classes that begins in September.
​
Tuition Rates
Monthly tuition is a set rate and is based on an average month within a ten month dance season. Holidays, studio closures, short and long months, and the June recital are all taken into consideration when we set tuition rates. Tuition is the same amount each month regardless of how many classes or weeks there may be.
Tuition Payments/Autopay
All TUITION will be run at the beginning of each month. You will receive a notification by email if your payment is declined---you can update your credit card and make payment by signing into your account.
ON THE 16TH OF EACH MONTH, ACCOUNTS WITH AN UNADDRESSED OVERDUE BALANCE WILL INCUR A LATE FEE of 10% OF THE CURRENT PAST DUE AMOUNT. A NEW LATE FEE WILL BE APPLIED MONTHLY UNTIL ALL PAST DUE AMOUNTS ARE PAID IN FULL. PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE TO ARRANGE A PAYMENT PLAN IN ORDER TO AVOID THESE LATE FEES.
AUTOPAY is required for all payments. A credit card is required to be on file while enrolled at PAC. Without a card on file, students have the potential of being dropped from their classes.
​
Sibling Discount
For each family, the student taking the most hours is full price. We offer a 20% discount on tuition to any additional siblings taking classes at PAC.
​
30 Day Drop Policy
To drop a class you must first fill out this drop form and then notify the office of your request by email. A 30 day notice is required for a drop to be effective. Students can also switch classes at any time through Feb. 1st, 2025 as long as there are spots available---please email the office for assistance.
​
Pick Up/Drop Off
Please don't drop off dancers earlier than 10 minutes before class and pick up promptly at the end of class. Please do not leave ANY dancers under age 12 unattended outside of the studio. Younger dancers should be accompanied to the studio door.
Late Policy
If your dancer is more than 10 minutes late to class, they will not be able to participate. This is for the safety of the dancer. Missing the first 10 minutes of class means they don't get to properly warm up and stretch, which is one of the main causes of injury to dancers.
Missed Classes/Absences
If your dancer misses a regularly scheduled class, you may schedule a make-up for them in another class of the same age and level as long as the class isn't full. There is a limit of one make-up per class/per month. Make-ups for a given class will expire once that class has been dropped. Make-up classes cannot be used in lieu of monthly enrollment/tuition. Make-up classes are not offered for holidays or scheduled studio closures, as those days have already been taken into consideration when tuition prices are set for each season. Due to recital preparation, make-up classes are not available from March through the recital.
Please note: SOME "tech" and teen/adult classes may be allowed for make-up classes on a case by case basis. All other classes will be focusing only on recital dances.
Please email the office to schedule all make-up classes.
​
Minimum Enrollment
Minimum enrollment for classes is usually 4 students. Most classes will have more than enough students by the first day, but if for some reason your child is enrolled in a class that doesn't meet the minimum, we will happily help you find another suitable class that your dancer will love!
​
​ Level/Age Policy
Please refer to the level/age guide at the top of our schedule to help choose the correct classes for your dancer. Occasionally, a student may need to be moved to a different level or class at the recommendation of the teacher. It's normal for dancers to spend multiple years at each level before moving on to the next. Making sure that every student is in an appropriate class ensures the best opportunity for growth and success. For assistance with this, please contact our office.

All accounts balances must be up to date before
