Financial Needs Scholarships Available! The Dance School is committed to providing financial assistance to students and families who can demonstrate financial need and who have a desire to attend classes at our school. Scholarship awards will be based on eligibility (per federal income eligibility guidelines used to determine free and reduced school lunch program) first, and the amount of TDS scholarship funds available second. Awards may range up to 50% off tuition.

TUITION
Tuition is calculated by the number of hours your dancer takes on a weekly basis. Tuition is due and payable prior to the first class of every month. Our pricing schedule allows families the opportunity to pay monthly, biannually (September and February), or one annual payment. Paying tuition at the annual option allows you to receive a 5% discount.
Tuition paid after the 10th of every month is subject to a $25.00 late fee. The late fee is not eligible for any discount or scholarship program. On the 20th of each month, those with a balance will receive an email as a reminder. Students with a balance still owed on the last day of the month will be unable to attend classes the following month until the account is brought current.
The Dance School offers Military Discounts and Sibling Discounts.For more information on discounts, please email [email protected]

TALENT SCHOLARSHIPS
In late spring our faculty members nominate students for each of our Talent Scholarships based on the scholarship criteria. A panel of board members and community members review the nominations and select a recipient to receive the scholarship for the following year. Our Talent Scholarships vary on what they cover which can include tuition and/or other fees.
To sponsor a Talent Scholarship, please contact us for more information.
