TUITION: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

Seasonal Tuition (September-May) is based on the time length of the class. Tuition is NOT based on the style of dance or the faculty member conducting the class. Our faculty are highly educated and certified in their fields and are 100% qualified to instruct your children.

TUITION

Tuition is based on the nine month dance season and may increase slightly between seasons due to variables of the economy and financial demands of the industry. We work hard to keep our tuition comparable to that of our surrounding community. Martell School of Dance is a proud partner of the Ohio Afterschool Childhood Enrichment  (ACE) educational savings account program which provides funds for children and families to use on various enrichment and educational activities. Learn more about ACE by clicking HERE.

Tuition can be paid yearly, semi-annually, or in nine equal monthly installments. All classes are to be paid for whether attended or not, however, students are entitled to take a make-up class within the same month, or as suggested. We do not have a “pay per class” option, unless you are an adult student or visiting temporarily from out of town. There are no refunds on tuition payments.

REGISTRATION: A $35.00, non-refundable, Registration Fee per family plus first month’s tuition is due at the time of enrollment.  Registration is not considered complete and class space is not reserved until these fees are paid. Registration fees are non-refundable/non-transferable. They serve to supplement our administrative and operational needs. ALL families must update their information in our Parent Portal at the time of registration. It is imperative that we have a CURRENT email address on file. E-mail is our SOLE means of communication with our families.

30 MINUTE CLASS: $56 / MONTH
45 MINUTE CLASS: $58 / MONTH
60 MINUTE CLASS: $60/ MONTH
75 MINUTE CLASS: $62/ MONTH
90 + MINUTE CLASS: $64 / MONTH
*First two classes are full price, then families receive $20 off per additional added class (third, fourth, and so on) See below for our full list of discounts!

FAMILIES WITH OUTSTANDING BALANCES MUST BRING THEIR ACCOUNT CURRENT PRIOR TO ENROLLING FOR THE 23/24 DANCE SEASON.

MONTHLY PAYMENTS: Anyone who chooses to pay monthly is required to keep a credit card on file with Martell School of Dance. We accept cash, check, and credit cards (Visa, Master Card, AMEX, and Discover). Monthly tuition can be paid by cash, check or credit card before the 7th of every month. No statements will be emailed out, unless your account is past due or unless they are requested. If tuition is not paid by the 7th, your card will be automatically charged the monthly tuition. If you decline a card on file and do not pay tuition by the 7th of the month, your account will be assessed a $15 late fee. This includes any and all expired or declined credit cards on file. Late Fees will be enforced.

By agreeing to our payment policies, you acknowledge that If tuition and late fees are not paid by the end of the month, Martell School of Dance reserves the right to interrupt your child’s attendance until the account balance is brought current.  This communication will come directly from Rachel Huffman, Owner/Director.

OUR STUDIO DEPENDS ON YOUR TIMELY TUITION PAYMENTS

If you wish to have your credit card automatically charged for monthly tuition, you may choose a payment date of the 1st or 7th of the current month due.

SEMI ANNUAL PAYMENTS: Anyone choosing to make two payments for the 9 month dance year must make these payments by Tuesday, September 5th and Tuesday, January 2nd. Dancers may NOT participate if payments are not made on time.

ANNUAL PAYMENT: Anyone choosing to pay in full for the 9 month dance year will receive 10% off their entire tuition. This payment must be paid in full by Monday, September 26th in order to receive the discount. The 10 % tuition discount DOES NOT include classes that are added on or after September 29th.

BAD CHECKS: Any person who submits a bad check will be charged the fee that the bank debits from our account in addition to re-payment of tuition.

CANCELLATION OF ENROLLMENT – NOTICE REQUIRED It will be assumed that you will continue with your / your child’s dance education, consecutively, each month upon registering in the fall for the season.

Should you wish to discontinue enrollment/class participation, we ask that you submit a notice in writing PRIOR to the new month of classes. If we do not receive such notification, it will be expected that the monthly tuition will be due in full on the 1st of the new month.

If cancellation of classes is related to injury or other extenuating circumstances, please request a personal meeting with Rachel Huffman ([email protected]).

TUITION CYCLES & HOLIDAYS Tuition is calculated on an annual basis and divided by the 9-month calendar to create equal installments. Within the dance season, like in academic seasons, there are designated holidays that Martell School of Dance honors. We are in session for holidays such as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Columbus Day, Presidents Day, etc. Our yearly calendar is always available HERE.

LATE TUITION FEE: There will be a $15 late fee for any unpaid tuition by dates listed above.
