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 may 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 at what point 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 to avoid a late fee.
Registration fees: There is a $25 per child registration fee per year. This fee will be waived for all students who register for fall classes and have September's tuition paid in full by August 6th, 2025.
Costume fees: Beginning in October, there will be a $25 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. To participate in the Recital, all students must have at least a $75 costume deposit banked by January 1st. After January 1st this fee cannot be refunded. Costume balance amounts will be sent home in January and final payments are due no later than March 10th, 2026.
Recital fees: More info regarding our June Recital will be released in 2026, such as the dates of our Picture Day, Dress Rehearsal and Recital. To help cover the costs of our performance there may be a small Recital fee charged per dancer near the end of the season. Tickets will be sold to our Recital and there will also be optional opportunities to purchase Recital t-shirts, program ads, flowers and videos of the performance.
