2011–2012 Tuition and Policies:
Our tuition amount is calculated on and due per Term, payable either by full Term, or for convenience in three equal installments for levels Youth Ballet 1 and higher. There is no "monthly" or "weekly" rate. New students only will have their tuition pro-rated if they join the school mid-Term. Exceptions to this policy will be granted only with the prior approval of the school directors. Tuition is due the first day of each term, and if paying in installments, on the first day of each month following the initial payment at the beginning of the Term. Alternative payment schedules may be arranged on an individual basis with the prior approval of the directors.
An annual registration/processing fee of $35.00 per family is due each year in addition to tuition. This fee is reduced to $25 if registered for Fall Term on or before July 15th of each year.
The regular school year has three twelve-week terms: Fall, Winter, and Spring. The Summer Term has separate programs and pricing.
Students new to the school are free to join any of our programs during the term---their tuition will be pro-rated accordingly based on the full Term amount.
New
Students with prior dance training seeking to enter Youth Ballet or
higher are required to have a personal evaluation by the school
Directors before beginning classes, in order to assess their training and abilities. This evaluation is necessary to ensure placement in the most
appropriate level. There is a one-time non-refundable fee of $15 for the assessment; this fee will be applied towards the annual registration fee upon the student formally enrolling in the school.
Family Discount:
Families with two or more students in the same immediate family enrolled during the same term receive a special discount, based on the total combined number of class hours per family per week. Note, Adult Hourly Class Cards are not eligible for and do not count toward or as part of a family discount.
Family
discounts are calculated on a case by case basis: CLICK HERE to view

Please contact us with any questions on this policy or on the specific amount of tuition owed based on your individual circumstances.

Please contact Ballet Royale prior to enrolling in the Open Enrollment program for guidance in determining the appropriate class level and scheduling.
Adult Hourly Class Card: Adults (19 or older) may purchase a Ten-Hour Class Card instead of, or in addition to, enrolling in a specific class per Term. Class Cards are valid for any regularly scheduled Adult/Teen Ballet or Modern Dance, Group Pilates, or Yoga Classes. Note, to ensure maximum flexibility between class lengths and days, Class Cards are based on hours taken, not the number of classes. Cards are $150 for ten class hours, and expire May 31, 2012.
Professional Dance Instructors are invited to take single classes without formal enrollment in the school. These classes are $16 per class.
Late Fees/Missed Classes: A $20 late fee will be charged if tuition is not paid within 10 days of the due date (first of month or Term). The return check charge is $30.00. Tuition left unpaid for more than 30 days may result in your child being asked to sit out of class. NO REFUNDS OR DEDUCTIONS are made for missed classes. Please make plans to take another appropriate class to make up for missed classes due to illness or holidays.
Snow Days: Please call the studio in the event of inclement weather.
Parking: Student Drop off/Pick Up: We want to assure the safety of your child. Please do not allow your child to wait outside before or after classes. Please be prompt in bringing and picking up your child for classes. When picking up your child please do not wait in the driving lane in front of the building; this blocks other's access and wastes fuel.
Parent Alliance Program:
All parents of students in the Youth Ballet and Performance Track programs are members of the Parent Alliance. This association is a link between the school and parents to help nurture healthy communication. Parents must attend three meetings a year---fall, winter and spring. Please call the studio in the event of inclement weather.

Costumes:
The Youth Ballet and Performance Track students and the Open Enrollment students who will be performing in Ballet Royale's "A Celebration of Dance" in the spring will need to purchase a minimum of one costume. More information will be discussed during the Parent Alliance Meetings.
