Miss Candice’s Dance Center – Registration & Policies

Registration & Tuition

  • Annual registration: $25, at sign up and every July (dancers returning after a 4+ month hiatus will incur re-registration fees).

  • Tuition is due by the 1st of each month via auto-payment only. A $25 late fee applies after the 1st.

  • To cancel, A cancellation form from our front desk must be filled out at least two weeks before the 1st; late requests will be processed the following month.

  • Dropped classes after tuition payment has been processed will not be refunded or credited.

  • Tuition secures a dancer’s spot, like a gym membership. Missed classes, vacations, or pauses may result in loss of enrollment if the class reaches capacity.

  • Accounts unpaid for a full month result in class removal; re-enrollment requires payment of all outstanding fees.

  • Classes with fewer than three students may be shortened or canceled at studio’s discretion.

  • If the studio has a need to cancel a class, a scheduled make-up lesson will be offered.
