Tuition & Fees
Neighborhood Dance strives to give our students and families every opportunity to follow their interests and passions in the performing arts. We use a sliding scale to calculate monthly tuition rates in dance which helps students and families take full advantage of the quality instruction and performing experience we offer.
(Updated and Revised 5/15/2022)
Overview
Neighborhood Dance operates 3 class sessions throughout the year on which the tuition is based:
- The 10-month School Session is active from September through June and tuition is invoiced on the 1st of each month beginning in September. Payment options are available to pre-pay for part or whole session. New registrations beginning classes mid-month will be pro-rated. Tuition for absences or studio closures is not pro-rated. Students are encouraged to attend make-up classes for classes missed.
- The 2-month Spring Fling Session is active from March through April and tuition is invoiced on the 1st of each month beginning in March. Pre-payment for the entire session is an available option as well. New registrations beginning classes mid-month will be pro-rated. Tuition for absences or studio closures is not pro-rated. Students are encouraged to attend make-up classes for classes missed.
- The Summer Session is active from June through August. Tuition is a fixed, one-time fee per camp or class session and invoiced on the 1st of the month in which the camp or class is held.
How to Calculate Tuition
Dance Classes
- Tuition rates for ALL dance classes are determined by the ‘Rate Table for Dance Classes’.
- Using the rate table, add up the number of hours per week for all dance classes being taken by all students in the family and find the corresponding monthly tuition fee.
- If total hours ends in .25, round up to nearest 0.5 hrs; If total hours ends in .75 and are > 1.0 hrs, round up to the nearest 1.0 hrs. (i.e. 1.75 hrs rounds up to 2.0 hrs = $105)
- The maximum monthly tuition for dance classes is $250 per family.
Musical Theater Classes
- Tuition for the Broadway Kids and Broadway Juniors musical production classes which perform in our annual musical in June is calculated SEPARATELY from dance classes and is $135/month.
- Tuition for the Broadway Triple Threat Voice & Acting classes follows the ‘Rate Table for Dance Classes’ and these class hours count toward the total family hours.
- Small group voice lessons (3-6 students) is $60/month per student.
- Private voice lessons (1-2 students) is $120/month per student.
