Terms & policies

Important tuition, attendance, safety, and communication information for DMSD families.

Tuition & payment

Tuition is a flat rate for the school-year term, divided into equal monthly payments. A credit card is required on file and autopay is encouraged. Tuition is due within the first seven days of each month. Please ask the studio about current registration and late fees before enrolling.

Attendance & make-up classes

If a teacher cancels a class, a make-up will be offered. When a student misses class and the studio receives at least one hour of notice, the student may attend a comparable make-up class when available. Tuition is non-refundable.

Withdrawal

To discontinue a class, families must submit written notice at least two weeks before the final class. Without written notice, tuition remains due while the studio holds the dancer’s spot.

Safety & studio care

Please keep students home when they may be contagious. Dancers should arrive on time and wear their class-specific attire and shoes. Holiday closures include major holidays, with updates shared by the studio.
