Tuition/Other Fees:
Tuition: Dynamic Dance Academy (DDA)'s tuition is based on a 9-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 9 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 for fall classes and have October's tuition paid in full by October 10th.
Costume fees: Beginning in November, 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. In order to participate in the Recital, all students must have at least a $50 costume deposit banked by January 1st. After January 1st this fee cannot be refunded. For students who danced with us during the 2019-20 season, we will try to use as many costumes from that season as we can. For new costumes, payments will be required in Jan & Feb with final balance due by March 10th.
