STUDIO POLICIES

TUITION & REGISTRATION

Tuition for our regular 9 month session, September through June, is broken down into manageable monthly payments. Even though some months have 3 weeks, other months have 5 weeks, it averages out over the course of the 9-month program. Tuition does not fluctuate with holidays, vacations, or any absences. Make-up classes can be scheduled for any absences.

 

  • Registration Fee 

    • $25 yearly non-refundable registration fee per dancer.

  • Tuition  

    • First month tuition is due at time of registration.

    • Tuition will then be auto-drafted on the 25th of each month (Sep-May)

    • Bank accounts & credit cards are accepted for auto-draft.

    • If you wish to avoid auto-draft, you can pay in studio via cash or check by the 20th of each month. 

    • Tuition payments are non-refundable.

    • Tuition is a flat-rate, monthly payment, based on the full calendar year and does not fluctuate with student absences or holidays.  

    • A late fee of $15 will be charged after a 5 day grace period (30th of month). If an account becomes more than 30 days past due without communication, the dancer will be unenrolled from class and the bill will be sent to collections.

DROP OFF/PICK UP

EAD is not responsible for providing before or after class childcare for students. Students should arrive no more than 5-10 minutes before class to put on appropriate shoes and use the restroom. Parents are welcome to wait in our lobby during class but are not permitted in the dance rooms. Students need to be picked up on time. Students that are picked up more than 15 minutes late may be charged a $25 late pick-up fee (emergencies excepted).

WITHDRAWL

One-month notice is required to discontinue any classes. Withdrawal forms must be submitted within the first 5 days of the month to be effective for the next month. Withdrawal forms must be completed in the studio with a front desk representative. We will not be accepting withdrawals over the phone, email, or with a teacher. Refunds are not give for unused lessons, absences, injuries, etc.​

SPRING RECITAL

The Spring Recital is our annual end-of-season performance that gives dancers the chance to showcase everything they’ve learned throughout the year on a real stage. It’s a special celebration of their growth, hard work, and love for dance, and a memorable experience for both dancers and their families. All classes participate, and costumes, choreography, and music are thoughtfully selected to reflect each group's unique progress and style.

​

Spring Recital Mandatory Dress Rehearsal: June 2026 (final dates/times TBA)

COSTUME FEES

Costume Fees are non-refundable.

 

Each performing class has a costume fee of $95. Dancers keep their costumes after the performance.

​

All Spring Recital costume fees will be included in the January 25th auto-draft.

ATTENDANCE & CLASS MAKE-UP POLICY

Attendance is key to success. If excessive absences are effecting a dancer’s ability to participate, they may be asked to withdrawal from the class.

 

Missed classes may be made up in another appropriate class within 30 days after the absence. Makes ups can be scheduled through your online portal.

SUBSTITUTE INSTRUCTORS

Elevation Academy reserves the right to provide a qualified substitute teacher in the event that the regular teacher is ill or otherwise unable to teach.  If an appropriate substitute teacher is not available, canceled classes can be made up in other appropriate scheduled classes.

CELL PHONE POLICY

Cell phones are not permitted in class and are to be left in Student Lounge with other personal belongings. SOCIAL MEDIA, VIDEO, AND PHOTO IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED IN THE STUDENT AREA. We reserve the right to confiscate cell phones if they are disruptive and hold them at the front desk for the student while under our care.

See detailed dress code for class-specific requirements. Required dancewear and dance shoes must be worn to all classes. For safety reasons, dancers are not permitted to wear jewelry or fake nails. Failure to wear required dance-wear/shoes to class could result in students being asked to sit out of the class.
