Tuition, Registration and Fees

Registration: Receipt of a completed registration packet including registration form, hold harmless, permission slip, photo release, $10 registration fee, tuition, costume fee and membership to the Creative Arts Center is required to enroll in class.

 

Tuition: We accept credit cards, checks and cash. Tuition covers class fees and dress rehearsals. Option to pay auto monthly or monthly manual. An invoice will be sent to your email should you choose monthly manual. 

Tuition Due: Payments are due the 15th of each month. Please check your email as invoices will be sent out two weeks before the due date. A $10 late fee will be applied if tuition is not received after one week following the bill’s due date. Please note, students are unable to participate in class if tuition is not paid in full.

Go Paperless: We have gone paperless by sending all invoices online. Please update your email address at registration.

 

Communications: Please download the Band App. Band is an easy to use, free, downloadable app that makes scheduling and updating easy. It has a posting platform allowing teachers to easily send a note to the whole class as well as chat privately with dancers/parents.

No Refunds or Credits are allowed for missed classes. Talk to your instructor about making up missed classes.

Cancellation: We reserve the right to cancel class or classes with low attendance and to substitute an instructor at our discretion. Make-up classes will be scheduled.

 

Attendance: Active participation and attendance is essential in any team sport! If your dancer intends to miss class, please send your instructor a note on band. Also, please do not drop off/pick up your child more than 15 minutes before/after their class time. Instructors use their extra time at the studio to prep! 

Withdrawals: Please notify us in advance if your child is withdrawing. If we are not notified you will be billed for that month whether your child is in attendance or not.

Fundraiser Money: Fundraising credit will be applied to your invoice the month following the fundraiser.

​

Scholarships: CADS believes finances should not come in the way of your child’s passion. Therefore, the Stevie Anne Sorenson Scholarship is a wonderful way to ease financial stress. Every year dancers are awarded full or half-year scholarships. Please request an application if interested. In addition, the Creative Arts Center has created the CAC Program Scholarship. This scholarship is also available for CADS dancers. 

Costume Fee: Costume fees will be determined by the number of choreography classes a student is enrolled in. This fee will be due at registration. Costumes are ordered in the fall and spring. Costume fees include 1 pair of performance tights. If you are unable to participate in either recital, please notify your instructor prior to costume orders.

​

Costume Fee Breakdown:
1 Choreography Class- $75
2 Choreography Classes- $150
3 Choreography Classes- $225
4 Choreography Classes- $300

Tap Shoe Rental Fee: A $5 rental fee is required to rent shoes from the Creative Arts Dance Studio. We are low on shoes so if you have any to donate, we would greatly appreciate it.

Creative Arts Center Membership Fee: The CAC is a community building and membership fees keep this building up and running. Without the CAC we wouldn’t have such a wonderful place to dance, so membership fees are very important. Individual membership is $25, family membership is $35. Please make all checks payable to the “Creative Arts Center.”

​​

Student Showcase: All students enrolled in CADS have the opportunity to perform any self choreographed routines i.e. solos, duos, trios, or small groups. CADS supports and encourages the art of choreography and the creativity of their students. The student showcase will be held at the LCHS Auditorium and is scheduled for Thursday, May 8th. A $25 dollar fee will be charged to participants. ​

We are looking forward to another great season!!
