Payment of Fees: Our tuition is based on a 9 month program, September-May. At registration, a payment option must be chosen. The first payment AND registration fee are due when you enroll, based on the option chosen. The remaining payments are due the 1st of each month beginning October 1. Payments are always due in advance of service. All payments must be received by the 7th of each month or a late fee of $5.00 is automatically added to your account. If a payment is 30 days late, the student will not be allowed to take class until the account is current. September or 1st month's tuition is non-refundable. We do not issue REFUNDS. Payment Forms: Payments are accepted in the form of cash, check, Visa, or MasterCard credit/debit cards and NOW through PayPal at our web site. NEW POLICY: A $2 convenience fee will be applied to all online payments. Payments can be dropped in the payment box in the lobby, given to the receptionist or mailed to 1290 Eisenhower Rd., Leavenworth, KS 66048. If we have not received your payment by or on the 7th, a $5.00 late fee will be applied to your account. Payments dated before the 7th but received after the 7th will still be charged a late fee. Payment of any and all late fees must be done before costumes will be released.

Additional Students/Classes:
All Students (except Tiny Tots & Adults) participate in the recital. If enrolling after Jan. 1, recital participation depends on costume availability. If not available after Jan. 1, student may participate in classes through April 30. No special instructions will be given to non-recital students during classes. Recital T-shirts will be available to order in March. The cost is not included at enrollment. These are special commemorative shirts that list all performers on the back of the shirt. Payment Plan Options: Please note that registration fees vary with each option to cover administrative costs. Plan A: This plan offers families payments the way we have always collected payments. You pay a registration fee of $25 and your first month's tuition at registration. You then pay tuition each month beginning the 1st of October or the next month depending on enrollment date. 1/2 the recital fee is due by November 30th. and the balance due Jan. 30. (If payment is NOT received by due date, late fees will be added each month until paid in full.) Fees are non-refundable. Plan B: (Budget minded choice/SAVE $10 on registration fee with this option.) This plan offers families payments that are the same each month with no additional fees due later. Tuition, plus 1/9 of the recital fee is paid monthly, so your payments are ALWAYS the same. At registration, you make your first payment PLUS a $15 registration fee PLUS 1/9 of the recital fee. If your student joins later than September, the "Back recital fees" will be added to the initial payment. All fees are non-refundable. Plan C: (Save $10 on registration fee and 5% on total year of tuition.) This plan offers families the option of paying for everything at registration and saving 5% on the tuition costs. The registration fee is $15 per family with this option which you pay with your discounted tuition and ALL recital fees. If a student discontinues classes with this option, some fees are refundable depending on time of year withdrawal is made and if withdrawal policy is followed. Team Fees: Each of our teams has a special uniform for the year. All uniform fees are due in FULL by October 30 or before the uniform is passed out. Competition/meet fee information available soon.

Their space will be given to any new or waiting students. They will have to re-enroll to return to class. No refunds will be given. Missed Classes: Missed classes must be made up within 3 weeks of the absence. They must be scheduled with the teacher or office and are not transferable to any other student.
