2024-2025 Tuition & fees
Tuition & FEES
Tuition is calculated based on each student's total amount of class time per week. Tuition is charged monthly and is due on the last Friday of the month for the following month's classes (i.e. September tuition is due on the last Friday of August). A late fee will be charged for non-payment 5 days after the due date for all fees.
Auto-pay enrollment is required for all students. Any account balances for other fees, in-studio purchases (apparel, water, etc) will also be charged to the card on file at the same time as tuition. If you would prefer to pay by check or e-transfer, you must submit a personal check made out to Activ8 Dance Company or send Zelle to [email protected] by 9:00AM on the due date. (*does not apply to drop-in only students - drop in fees are due before that class begins.) Note: there is a 3.5% processing fee for all credit card payments.

STUDIO POLICIES & RULEs
ACTIV8 DANCE COMPANY HAS A NO REFUND POLICY
Any class missed due to a change in schedule or a medical situation can be made up by attending a different class, preferably in the same or a similar style and age group, or through a virtual CLI class. Dancers who are ill but can still participate virtually can also set up a Zoom class to be taken at home during their regular class time. Contact the office to set up a make-up class or Zoom class.
WITHDRAWAL FROM CLASSES
If you choose to withdraw during the year, a written withdrawal must be submitted via email to [email protected] at least 15 days before the withdrawal date. There are no refunds given for dancers that discontinue taking classes in the middle of the season, including fees for tuition, costumes, competition fees, convention fees, etc. (Company dancers see Handbook for Company Withdrawal policy).
SHOWCASE/RECITAL
Any student enrolled as of February 1, 2025 is assumed to participate in the end-of-season recital and will be responsible for the cost of costumes (except Adult classes and Non-Recital (NR) classes as noted on the schedule). Students may opt-out of the recital any time before February 1st by notifying the office. Those who opt out of recital cannot then opt back in after February 1st.
ATTENDANCE & MAKE-UP CLASSES
Please notify the office via email of any absences in advance when possible. Missed classes can be made up, preferably by attending a class of similar style and age group. Dancers ages 8+ can also arrange for a virtual Zoom class if they’re unable to attend class in person due to mild illness or other extenuating circumstances, as long as the office is given enough notice. Contact the office via email to arrange make-up and Zoom classes. After recital classes have begun choreography, attending a make-up in that class may no longer be available, at the discretion of the instructor and Directors.
TARDINESS
Classes begin promptly at their scheduled start time. If you’re early, you’re on time, if you’re on time, you’re late! At the teacher’s discretion, tardy students may be asked to observe class only for the day if they have missed more than the first 10-15 minutes, which includes the warm-up, as missing this important part of class can lead to injury.
OBSERVATION
Parents may quietly observe classes via the windows in the hallway at Activ8. Only enrolled students are allowed in studio classrooms, to ensure dancers can focus without distractions. Parents may be invited in at the end of a class at the instructor’s discretion. Parents are expected to refrain from opening classroom doors to speak to their child(ren) during class, even if they feel they need to discipline their child for behavior. Our instructors are well-trained classroom management and how to handle misbehavior, even if it means ignoring bad behavior at first. If an instructor feels they need a parent to step in, they will come out of class and notify the parent or the front desk.
INCLEMENT WEATHER CLOSING & NOTIFICATION
In the event we decide to close due to inclement weather, we will email, text and post to social media by 8:15 AM for Saturday morning classes and 3 PM for weeknight evening classes. Please note that we do not always follow area school closings. Be sure to check your inbox and our social media pages if the weather is questionable.
FREE TRIAL CLASSES
Free trial classes are for new students only and only for regularly scheduled classes. Free trial classes do not apply to Intro to Breaking/Breaking 1/The Breaking Program, master classes, guest teacher classes, or any special event/workshop classes.
The Breaking Program classes have a $10 trial class fee.
LOW ENROLLMENT CLASSES
Classes with low enrollment (under 5 students) may be cancelled, combined with another class, or moved, at any time at the discretion of the studio Directors. Students will be notified via email at least 24 hours prior in the event that their class is being cancelled/combined/moved. In this event, there will be no refund of tuition for classes run up to this point. There will be no refund of additional fees (registration, costumes, etc.), unless the costume has not yet been ordered from the costume company. For classes that are 45 minutes or longer, and have enrollment of 2 students or less, the instructor may choose to run class for a shorter period of time while tuition remains the same, as this is a private or semi-private lesson. Class time will return to normal if more students enroll.
PUNCH CARDS, CLASS PACKAGES, & PRIVATE LESSON PACKAGES
Any purchased punch cards, class passes, private lesson packages, and other non-regular class deals may only be used for the purpose for which they were purchased and are non-transferrable or refundable. All punch cards, class packages, private lesson packages, and other non-regular class deals expire one year after the purchase date.
*All tuition, policies & procedures are updated as of August 28, 2024.*
