tuition fees

At Lemoine Academy of Dance, we strive to create a positive and structured environment for all our students. To ensure the smooth operation of our classes and the best experience for everyone, we have established a set of studio policies and a clear fee structure. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with these guidelines, which cover everything from attendance and attire to tuition payments and class schedules. Adhering to these policies helps us maintain a high standard of instruction and a supportive community for all our dancers.

studio policies & fees

All fees are non-refundable. A $50 fee will be charged for registration.

nsf

A $30.00 fee will be charged for each “NSF.” If the studio is presented with more than two NSF fees or charges, students will not be permitted to attend classes until the account is current.

late fee

Tuition is due on the 10th of each month. A $30 late fee will be added to accounts not paid by the 10th day of each month regardless of the day of the week the 10th falls on (NO EXCEPTIONS.) NO REFUNDS or deductions are given if a child misses class for any reason.

DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS

These will be turned over to an outside collection agency if the account holder fails to make satisfactory payment arrangements. An account is
considered delinquent once it is two months past due. No student will be allowed to continue classes if the account is two months past due.

attendance

Anyone with more than five absences will not be allowed to participate in the dance revue. Students who do not know their dances will not be allowed on stage. Please note that “Perfect Attendance” trophies are awarded at the end of the dance year.

arrival and departure

Should be within 5-10 minutes of the beginning of class. There is no one to supervise students when they are not in class. Older students may not hang out at the studio when they are not in class. LEMOINE ACADEMY OF DANCE will not escort any dancers to and from the parking lot. Students should be accompanied by a parent or guardian when arriving and departing the studio. Parents, for your child’s safety, please do
not ask your child to meet you outside.
