There is a once per year non-refundable registration fee of $60 per student or $70 per family.
FALL - Registration Fee and August tuition in full is due when classes are approved and will be charged to the card on file. If there is no card on file you must drop off cash or check payment when classes are approved. You can mark your account for automatic billing at any time.
TUITION IS NOT ALTERED FOR MISSED CLASSES. Please keep absences to a minimum. You may schedule makeups through the front desk (no makeups After May 1 due to recital work). B&W RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE PARTICIPATION IN THE RECITAL FOR EXCESSIVE ABSENCES. Only dancers who will be performing in the recital are permitted to participate in the dress rehearsal.
Tuition is one YEARLY FEE broken into 10 equal payments (August through May) for your convenience. It will not be raised for 5-week months or lowered for less than 4-week months or holidays closings. Tuition is considered late after the first of the month and a $15 late fee will be assessed after the 10th of the month. Tuition that is more than one month late may result in dancer not being permitted to return to class until paid. Accounts must be totally paid in full to participate in recital and competitions. REFUNDS WILL NOT BE GIVEN ONCE A MONTH HAS BEGUN.
B&W reserves the right to change a class level for any student who is unable to participate at the level of the class they are registered in. Barton & Williams reserves the right to dismiss any student whose behavior is found to be a detriment to the class.
