Studio Policies

Registration

 A non-refundable annual fee of $49 per student is required at the time of registration. This guarantees the student‘s spot in class. First tuition installment is due at time of registration.  

Tuition

All students must have a credit card on file for monthly automatic payments. You may pay your bill manually before the 1st of the month if you choose to do so. On the 1st of the month, all accounts with a tuition balance will be ran. There will be a $15 late fee added to any accounts with a declined credit card, and there will be a $40 fee for any bounced checks.


2025/2026 tuition will be posted soon. 

Make Up Lessons

If a student misses a class, he or she will be able to make up that class by taking another comparable class anytime between October and April. Please call or e-mail the studio to book your  Make-Up Lesson. Classes cancelled due to weather will also have make-up sessions. 

Dress Code

Required attire and dance shoes must be worn in all classes. Failure to do so will result in children sitting out of class. The dress code is established so that the instructors have an unobstructed view of the students’ posture during class. This increases the effectiveness of the instructions. Absolutely no jewelry may be worn. Backstage PAC will not be held liable for any jewelry left at the studio

Costumes

Each recital piece will require a costume. Costumes for students in classes for ages 5 and under will cost $89 each. Costumes for students in level 1 classes and up cost $109 each. Costume price includes tights and most accessories. No costumes will be ordered without payment. Parents must approve sizes and are responsible for any costs associated with returning/exchanging costumes. Costumes are non-refundable. Please add $5 to any XL costume. Payment will be automatically charged to the card on file on November 9th. You may pay your costume bill manually before Nov. 9th if you choose to do so. Any costumes paid for after November 18th are subject to a separate shipping charge.
