Tuition Rates & Discounts Details:

1. First trial class can be FREE for new students - if you tell us you saw it here or one of our coupons. We want you to check us out and compare us to other studios because we know you’ll be very pleased with what we have to offer.
2. Our tuition is competitively priced. We are able to offer such high quality classes at reasonable rates because we don’t have a large leasing overhead like most studios. We own our own studio. We have one of the lower prices in the County area - especially with our discounts.
3. Multiple Class & Family Discounts: We are family focused and driven so we reflect that in every way including our tuition rates. Whether you takes extra classes as an individual or as a family we recognize very simply if you truly want to advance in Dance the more classes you take the better you get like any discipline. We want excellent dancers so to encourage that we offer bigger discounts the more classes you take. The family rate applies for immediate biological family residing in the same household. The half hour classes are not combinable for a discount and are simply added onto the total (+$42).
4. Unlimited Classes: for Individual or for a whole Family. This is a great way to take advantage of as many classes as you want. Our rate is actually about $100 less than some studios.
5. Loyalty Discount: We want to reward our clients that have come here and patronized us exclusively over several years. I’m not sure we’ve seen this offered anywhere else. What can we say – we love our students! The Loyalty discounts are for 3 & 7 FULL CONSECUTIVE Years (10 months ea.) of class taken here.
6. Referral Discount: Over the years we haven't done much advertising. If a customer likes what they have they will automatically want to tell their friends. Our main promotion has always been word of mouth. As a small way of saying "thank you" to our clients, we give them this small reward every time they refer new student over here. In the past we’ve also given away a couple full months tuition for free to those outstanding referrals.
7. Performance Team Discount: If you're on one of our Performance Teams you get 10% off your tution plus additional Loyalty discounts. Please see the second page of our tuition pdf for exact amounts.
8. Ministry Discount: If you or your family is in full-time church / mission ministry you may receive 10% off your tuition.
9. Military Discount: Families in active military service may receive 10% off your tuition.
