Tuition is due at the first lesson of the month. If payment is not received by the 10th of the month, there will be a $10 late fee. The monthly rate is based on the number of hours that are taken per week.
There is an annual registration fee of $25 per student. This is required and non-refundable. Over 2 children from the same immediate family register for free.
A recital fee of $40 is required in November for facility availability. Costume fees vary from class to class and are due in January.
Any student who wishes to drop for any reason must give 2 weeks notice. There is a $25 service charge on all returned checks.
There will be no refunds for any reason.
ct Class Time
It is very important to the student's that they are on time to class. Attendance is taken at the beginning of class. The first portion of every class is spent warming up the required muscles that are used in class. Being late could result in injury.
Students should arrive about 5 minutes prior to class beginning. After class, all students are required to wait inside the lobby area for parent pick-up. This is for the student’s safety. It is imperative that you discuss this with your child. There is an employee working in the office, but we have no responsibility for them after class has ended. All student’s should be picked up immediately after class.
Siblings and other small children must be under the supervision of an adult. No children other than those in class can be left at anytime.
dc Dress Code

r Recital
An annual recital will take place in late June at the end of every year. There will be a $40 recital fee per family to help with costs of the facility.
Tickets will not be sold. This allows you to invite as many guests as possible to watch your child perform.
Recital preparation is not mandatory. However, this is the time for your child to show what they have learned. Performance builds self-esteem, character, and respect.
v Vacation
Chrissy’s Dance Academy resides in the Northside Independent School District. We also follow all NISD bad weather school closures. There is no reduced tuition for vacation or school closures.
August is pro-rated for the number of weeks of dance in that month. We take summer vacation from after recital to registration for the next year. However, summer camps may be provided for enrollment.
