Tuition Policies:


* There is an annual registration fee of $25 for new students ($20 for returning students), which is non-refundable and ensures the student's space in class. This does not apply to drop-ins, summer sessions, summer camps, or Zumba class cards.

* Tuition for core classes is based on a yearly rate and is broken down monthly for your convenience. Therefore, full tuition is due by the first class of each month from September through May.

* Adults who wish to drop-in more than two times per class, per month will be asked to pay the monthly tuition for that class.

* A 10% discount is offered for the 2nd and 3rd student within an immediate family (parents and siblings) for registered classes and dance camps. Zumba Fitness classes are excluded.

* Make checks payable to "A Step Ahead Dance Center." A $25 charge is placed on all returned checks. If an account has 2 returned checks, only cash will be accepted for payment on that account. We cannot accept or hold postdated checks. We do not currently accept credit cards.

* If an account is 2 months delinquent in tuition, the student will not be allowed to take class until the account is paid in full.

* No refunds are given for early withdrawal, absences, or weather-related closings. Make-up classes are recommended and should be arranged with the appropriate instructors.

* Students must be registered for a class in order to perform. Additionally, students must have at least 80% attendance in order to perform.
