Studio Policies
-
Tuition fees at JDSD are based on the amount of time per week that a student spends at the studio and not on the number of classes.
-
Fees are paid on a monthly basis - due the 1st of the month. Monthly fees are based on the total of classes a year and split into 9 equal payments (September through May).
-
A $15 late fee will be assessed if payment not made by the 10th of the month and an additional $20 late fee assessed for any continued months of non-payment.
-
No credits will be given for missed classes. Please see the front desk to schedule a make up class.

Please note: If you have completed the Combo Class Program and are moving to individual classes of Jazz, Ballet, and/or Tap and choose back to back classes, it usually involves only one costume for the Spring Production.

Registration Fee
To cover the cost of processing your child's registration and to guarantee them a place in the class of your choice, we require an annual registration fee. A $35 non-refundable registration fee per student is due at the time of registration with a maximum fee of $75 for families with three or more children taking classes.
Recital Fee
Participation in our production is not mandatory for any student; however, we do encourage participation. We feel it is a positive, rewarding, and fun time for the students. There is a $89 recital per family (not per student) fee in lieu of ticket sales.
Tuition Payments
Our tuition scale has been set up according to the length of weekly lesson time and based on a the total amount of classes split into monthly equal payments. Holiday breaks are not counted into this scale.
If a payment is not received by the 10th of the month, a $15 late charge will be assessed for the first month it is late. A $20 late fee will be assessed for any continuing months tuition is late. If a payment becomes two months past due, arrangements must be made with our office staff or lessons will be discontinued until the account is brought up to date. All returned checked will be assessed a $35.00 fee. All returned checks will be reported to Bounceback, a credit collections agency. If payment is made by check and the student's last name is different from the person writing the check, indicate the student's full name and class time on the bottom of the check.
Drop Policy
Students who wish to withdraw from a class are required to to communicate to our office staff, so we may update your account. Withdraws must be done on or before the 15th of the month in order to only pay for the classes taken that month. Any classes dropped after the 15th of the month will be charged an entire month’s tuition. This is not for students changing classes, only for students dropping a class entirely. Any changes made to a student’s schedule must still be reported to front desk staff in order to have their name on the roster (this includes changing days, times, etc.).
