Competition Teams

Dancers in our Dance Force or Dance Force Dynasty teams will have additional fees that will be set prior to auditions each year.  Dance Teams will also have passed through competition and convention fees that will be billed the month in which the studio pays each vendor.  Timing of these charges will be communicated in advance of posting to accounts.

TUITION POLICY

Registration Fee

• In addition to tuition, there is a $50 registration fee per dancer, which is due upon registering to reserve space in a class. This fee is due once a year (i.e. if you pay it in the fall, you do not have to pay it again in the spring). This registration fee is non-refundable, and class space is not reserved until this fee is paid.

Full Season Commitment & Spring Deposit

• An additional deposit of $150 is due at the time of registration for the dance season (fall & spring). For fall students, this deposit is applied to your spring tuition and fees.

• Fall enrollment automatically enrolls your dancer into the same spring class(es) unless we receive a drop request during the add/drop window (November 1st - November 15th). If your dancer decides not to enroll in spring classes at all, your season deposit can be refunded but we must be notified by the November 15th deadline.

• For new students entering the spring semester, this deposit is collected at the time of registration and also applied to your tuition and fees and is non-refundable.

Tuition Billing

• Tuition for the semester is billed on the first Monday of August (fall) and January (spring) and must be paid in full by the second day of class. If tuition is not paid in full by the end of the first month, your child will not be able to participate in class until payment is received. Tuition is billed by semester. Tarrytown Dance does not prorate for late registrants unless the studio extends registration past one month of all classes starting.  All accounts must have a valid credit card or bank info on file to cover balances and be current to register for classes.

• A transaction fee of 2.69% is applied to Visa, Mastercard or Discover credit card payments. This does not apply to debit cards or other forms of payments.

Late Fee

• There is a $45.00 late fee on all accounts not paid in full by the end of the first month of classes. Late fees will be enforced and be added monthly. There is a $25.00 returned check fee.

• Tarrytown Dance DOES NOT email statements until an account is considered past due and late fees apply.

Class Drops/Withdrawals

• All class changes and drops must be submitted in writing to the office at tarrytowndance@gmail.com. 

• If a student has already attended one class before dropping, a $30 drop-in fee per class attended is required. This fee will be charged separately if payment has already been processed.

• There is no tuition refund for classes dropped after 2 weeks or later in a semester. An account credit may be extended at the studio's discretion.

• If a dancer enrolled in fall departs from the studio before November 15, their spring deposit will be refunded.

• If a dancer reduces hours for the fall semester before the registration period ends (two weeks into the semester), a prorated tuition (minus the registration fee) will be refunded. 

• If a dancer enrolled in spring departs from the studio before the spring registration period ends, a prorated tuition (minus the registration fee and $150 spring deposit) will be refunded.

• If a dancer enrolled in spring drops a class or departs from the studio after the registration period ends, all payment is forfeited.

Can I watch my dancer's class?

• We do not allow parents or other visitors to watch classes from inside the dance rooms. However, viewing windows are available so you can watch your dancer from the designated viewing areas.

Do I need to stay at the studio during my dancer’s class time?

• Ages 2–4: A parent/guardian must remain at or near the studio. Parents must walk their dancer in and out of the studio.

• Ages 5–6: You’re welcome to drop off and return at the end of class. Parents must walk dancer in and out of the studio. Please arrive at least 5 minutes before dismissal if you are leaving the studio.

• Ages 6+: You’re welcome to drop off and return at the end of class but communicate the safety reminders listed below.

Safety Reminders

Please make sure your dancer knows:

• Who will be picking them up after their last class.

• To wait in the lobby until their ride arrives. Dancers should never wait outside the studio.

• To wear an appropriate cover-up when entering and leaving the studio.

• Dance shoes should not be worn outside when leaving the studio.

• Whether or not they have permission to walk home after class.

• The front desk phone is available if they need to contact you or an authorized pickup person.

Authorized Pick-Up Contacts

• We recommend adding at least two additional adults to your dancer’s authorized pickup list. These contacts may be reached in case of an emergency or if we are unable to reach the primary parent/guardian.

• To add an authorized pickup contact, please update your dancer’s information through the Parent Portal or contact the front desk for assistance.
