Policies

Tuition and Fees

You are responsible for all fees billed to your account. Please check your accounts more than just once a month, so you are up to date with your balance. All fees are non-refundable. Tuition will be automatically charged to your current card on file. Others fees like recital fees, costume fees, etc. can be paid with your card online or in person with cash or check. Tuition is always due on the 1st of every month. After the 5th of the month, it is concerned late, and a late fee of $10 a day will be owed.

Classes

Classes are based on the amount of time spent in the studio. Please reverence our tuition chart for more information. Our dance year is based on a 33 week period. For parent convince, we split up the payment into 10 equal monthly payments, August - May. If interested you may pay the amount in full.

Attendance

Attendance for all programs is crucial. You have to attend class to improve as a dancer. The closer we are to recital, the more essential it is to attend class. This is not only to benefit you, but also benefits your teammates. 

Class Placement

Class placement is based on each dancer's age, experience, and skill level. The placement of a dancer is determined by the NSDC staff.

Family Discount

If your family has more than one dancer at the studio, you will receive the family discount of 10% off of your total tuition bill each month during our August to May dance season. 

Refunds

All tuition payments and fees are non-refundable. Refunds and credits are not given when you miss a class. 

Recital

All students enrolled in the recreational and competitive programs will perform in  the annual recital. The recital fee is not optional. All recital dancers will also be required to purchase a costume for each of their routines, and must have the proper shoes. 

Dress Code

Dancers are expected to wear comfortable athletic clothes. For example, leggings, tank tops, t-shirts, and shorts. For fundamental classes, dancers are required to wear fitted dance wear. This means leotards, tights, leggings, and shorts. Ballet skirts may be worn to ballet class. It is crucial for dancers to wear the correct attire, so the proper alignment can be seen. The proper shoes should always be worn to class as well. Hair should be pull back out of the face and secured. No dangling jewelry is allowed. This includes earrings that hang, loose bracelets, and necklaces.

Class withdrawal 

If you wish to drop a class, you must provide a written drop request to NSDC. Drop requests must be submitted before the 1st of the month. If the drop request is submitted after the 1st, you will still get billed for that month. If no drop request is submitted, your account will continue  to be billed at the 1st of each month. Just because you do not attend class, does not mean it is an official drop.

Inclement Weather and Holidays

NSDC will follow the surrounding schools' weather policies and holiday schedules. Please check our social media posts and your email for the latest news.

You are responsible for checking your email and account periodically. Monthly newsletters and important information will be emailed to your email account that you entered into our system.
