STUDIO POLICIES
Our classes run from Aug-June with the conclusion of our year with our annual recital. All classes participate in our annual recital. Each class performs one dance. You will have to purchase one costume per dance that your child is performing in and purchase tights. Average cost per costume is $75.00 (tights priced separately). Costume Half payment is required in November. Full payment required in January.
TUITION POLICY
Tuition is charged on a monthly basis and will stay the same regardless of the number of weeks per month or whether your child is absent from class. Payments are averaged for the entire year and are broken down into monthly payments based on 30+ weeks of classes. Tuition is due on the first day of each month. All tuition charges are added into your parent portal account after the 15th of the (previous) month, so you can go into your portal and pay your tuition anytime after it becomes visible in your account until the first of the month. All debit or credit card payments will be charged a $2.50 processing fee, which will be added to your Parent Portal along with your monthly tuition or costume charges. If making cash payments, our office will remove the monthly processing fee at the time the payment is made. >>> The portal DOES NOT withdraw your tuition payment automatically. If you would like to set up automatic payments, please return the Autopay Request Form that was included in your welcome packet to the desk or by email. If you were on Autopay last year, you must submit a new form in order to have Ignite deduct your payments automatically. A $10 late fee will automatically be added to accounts AFTER our 7th day grace period. Our full payment policy can be viewed in your Parent Portal.
