  • Tuition is billed Aug 1 (fall) and Jan 3 (spring) and must be paid in full by the first day of class. Tuition is billed by semester. We accept all credit cards, cash, or checks. Once your online account has been made, you may pay online with a credit card. Please contact us for alternative payment options at tarrytowndance@gmail.com. A form of payment must be kept on file, but parents may opt out of auto-pay once a valid form of payment is stored.

  • Note: Visa, Mastercard, or Discover credit card payments are charged a 2.69% processing fee. This does not apply to debit cards or other forms of payment.

What if my dancer wants to drop a class? 

  • All class changes and drops must be submitted in writing to the office at tarrytowndance@gmail.com. While we encourage you to inform the instructor, it is not sufficient notification to officially make adjustments to class enrollment.  If a class is dropped within the first two weeks of the semester, you will receive a refund for any tuition paid less the season deposit and registration fee. After the first two weeks of the semester, no refunds will be given.

  • A dance season deposit of $225 is required at the time of enrollment. This fee is non-refundable.

Is there a spring show? 

  • There is a spring show in May. All participation is voluntary, PLEASE notify the studio as soon as possible, if your dancer is not planning to participate in our Spring Show to avoid being charged.

  • A recital participation fee of $245 per dancer is due by February 15. (10% off each additional child). An additional costume fee of $85 is applied for dancers in multiple classes and is due by Feb 15. These fees must be paid to participate. Your participation fee includes ONE costume, accessories, tights (jazz and lyrical), and unlimited show tickets.

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.

Dance Season Deposit

  • An additional deposit of $225 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. 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 Aug 1 (fall) and Jan 3 (spring) and must be paid in full by the first 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 3.69% 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

  • For students who drop their class in the first 2 weeks of a semester, a full refund will be granted for paid tuition less $225 season deposit and $50 registration fee. There is no refund for classes dropped after 2 weeks or later in a semester. An account credit may be extended at the studio's discretion.

Competition Teams

  • Dancers on our DanceForce or Dynasty Teams will have additional fees that will be set prior to auditions each year.  This team fee is separate from the season deposit.  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.
