Ballet Bundles (Ballet Levels 4 through 7)

Additional ballet technique class offerings are available as "Ballet Bundles" for dancers in ballet levels 4 through 6 to make ballet more accessible and encourage students to deepen their training in this foundational style. Ballet Bundles do not count toward the Technique Class or Family Discounts.

• Ballet 7 (1.25 hr) + Ballet 7 Technique (1.5 hr): $190/mo (Regular $220)

• Ballet 4 Monday (1 hr) + Ballet 4 Tuesday (.75 hr): $165/mo (Regular $195)

Ballet 4 students may take both Ballet 4 classes to enhance their technique. They may perform with one or both classes in the season finale. Please email billing@thedancecentrecle.com to let us know so billing can be adjusted.

Technique Class Discount

We encourage technique classes which are the foundation of a dancer's skill set. Applies to Acro, Ballet (including pre-pointe and pointe), Dance Team Skills, PBT (progressing ballet technique), and JLT (jumps, leaps, turns). After the first technique class, each additional technique class is discounted starting with the class with the highest tuition first. Ballet Bundle classes are excluded from this discount.

2nd class – 10% off  |  3rd class – 20% off  |  4th class – 30% off  |  5th class – 40% off  |  6th class – 50% off

Multi-Student (Family) Discount

Families with 3 dancers get 25% off the dancer with the lowest total tuition; families with 4 dancers get 25% off the two dancers with the lowest total tuition. Ballet Bundle, Technique Class Discount Programs, and Work Study cannot be combined with the Multiple Student Discount.

Work Study

Students who assist with a weekly class from September through June receive a $565 monthly tuition cap — tuition beyond that amount is waived regardless of the number of classes taken. Costume deposits, select rehearsals, workshops, and intensives are not included in the cap. Cannot be combined with the Technique Class or Multi-Student Discount.

Declined Payments & Late Fees

• A $25 NSF fee applies to any declined payment, regardless of amount.
• A 7-day grace period applies to rectify payment before late fees begin (NSF fee still applies).
• If unpaid after day 8, a $15 per week late fee applies until paid.
• An unpaid balance for one month or longer results in the student being unable to attend class.

Costume Policy

Each costume carries a $100 deposit, billed as $25/month from September–December 2026 ($100 total per single-costume class). Deposits are refundable only if the class is dropped and TDC receives written notice by December 19, 2026. No refunds after that date.

If the final cost of a costume differs from the deposits collected, the family's account will be credited or debited for the difference during the May/June 2027 billing cycle.

Acro: PreK Acro 1 & 2, Beginner Acro, Advanced Beginner Acro, and Intermediate Acro (Advanced Acro performs in Finale)
