Tuition, costumes, and performances are all integral parts of our dance program. We (and most dance studios) have historically charged for each of these parts separately and at staggered times throughout the program year.
At DAA we use an all-inclusive pricing model. All regular charges for our program year (tuition, costumes, two t-shirts, two discounted Holiday Show tickets, and two discounted Recital tickets) will be charged at the time of registration. We will be doing this by adding some charges to the registration fee and some to the class fees. You will then NOT be charged for t-shirts, costumes, and tickets related to those classes for the rest of the year. You can pay in full before September 1st for a 5% discount, or in five installments throughout the year.
There will still be optional programs and merchandise that will be charged separately. but we hope that by including the full price of our dance classes up front, our dance families will be more informed about the actual financial commitment of the program instead of learning about them as they show up in your Parent Portal.
Thanks for reading this far, and thanks for being a Dancing Arts Academy family! If you have questions about our all-inclusive pricing model, please let us know!
Keep on dancing!
