Tuition/Other Fees:
Tuition: Dynamic Dance Academy (DDA)'s tuition is based on a 10-month schedule where each day of the week receives approximately the same number of classes for the year. The yearly tuition can be paid in full or broken down into 10 equal monthly payments for your convenience. The monthly tuition remains the same regardless of the number of classes in any given month or of when during the year the student begins taking classes. Monthly tuition payments are non-refundable and are due no later than the 10th day of each month in order to avoid a $10 late fee.
Registration fees: There is a $20 per child registration fee per year. This fee will be waived for all students who register before August 1st.
Costume fees: Beginning in October, there will be a $20 costume fee per child added to your monthly tuition. This fee will go towards your total costume payment and will ensure that you do not owe a large deposit right before the holidays. In order to participate in the Recital, all students must have a $60 non-refundable costume deposit banked by January 1st. Remaining costume balances are due by March 10th.
Also, please note that there will be a $15 fee for all returned checks.

Dress Code:
At DDA, we feel that it is important to adhere to a dress code while in class. Just as there is specific attire that must be worn during practice for sports, the same is true for dance practice. The following is a list of the dress code requirements for our dance classes: **
Ballet/Pointe/Tap: Solid color leotard and PINK tights. Ballet skirts are optional. Shoes: Ballet - PINK leather ballet shoes Tap - Either BLACK patent leather tie shoes, TAN buckle shoes, TAN heel character shoes or BLACK oxfords depending on the class. ***

Jazz: Solid color leotard with either a skirt, dance shorts or jazz pants. PINK or TAN tights. Shoes: BLACK SLIP-ON jazz shoes.
Hip-Hop: Any comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Skirts or jeans are not permitted. Shoes: BLACK SLIP-ON jazz shoes or BLACK jazz sneakers preferred. Regular sneakers may be worn, but they must not be the same shoes worn into the building to help protect our dance floor.
** DDA has leotards, tights, leg warmers, dance bags and all required dance shoes available for purchase at very reasonable prices.
*** All dancers under the age of 8 must have a dance bag to hold their dance shoes which will be brought into the dance room and put into a cubby during class.
