POLICIES & TUITION

 

TUITION

These procedures and policies apply to Twinkle Star Dance Academy franchise locations. They do not apply to non-franchise studios who subscribe to the Twinkle Star Dance curriculum.

Monthly tuition varies depending on which TSDA location you're dancing. It is based on the number of classes a dancer takes in a week. To calculate your exact tuition, find your studio, login to your account and view your class schedule and add some classes to your cart. It is automatically deducted from your checking account or charged to your credit card on the first of each month until June 30th of the current season – or until you drop using the online drop form.

There are no refunds for missed classes.

Dancers participating in the June Recitals pay full June tuition as classes will continue through the end of the month. Your dancer must be enrolled in a class at the time of recital in order to participate.

Some monthly sessions during our season have 5 dance classes. Some months have three (example: Thanksgiving, Winter Break). Tuition is calculated based on the number of times a class meets per month. When a class meets 5 times in one month, you will pay for five classes. If it only meets 3 times per month, you will only pay for 3 classes in that month.

Tuition is prorated at the time of registration. For example if you enroll in a class that will only meet two more times that month, you will only be charged tuition for those two classes.

There is a $5 per month discount for each additional dancer enrolled in a single family. For example, if there are two students, the family will receive a $5 discount, three students in a family receive a $10 discount on your family's total monthly tuition.

Registration and Tuition covers the cost of all classroom materials; however dancewear and costumes for performances are extra.

Annual Registration Fee

New students pay a registration fee each season. Returning dancers pay a reduced fee. The registration fee varies by location.

Make-Up Classes 

Twinkle Star Dance Academy does not offer make-up classes during the months of August-June. If a class is missed in July then it can be made up in July or August.

Drop Policy 

A dancer may drop for any reason by emailing your studio. Please notify us in writing by the 15th of the month in order to avoid paying tuition for the following month.

Holidays

Twinkle Star Dance Academy observes the following Holidays:

We will traditionally be closed the week between Christmas and New Years.  We also take a 1 week break between seasons, at the beginning of July.  These dates will vary from year-to-year depending on the calendar.

Year-Round Dance Season

Dance is a year round activity.  A dancer may join a class at any time during the season, until your pre-determined cut off based on the date of your recital.  A family’s commitment is month to month and they may drop at any time.  See Drop Policy above.
