TUITION / PAYMENT

---

 Tuition is based on a 9 -month calendar year, from September through May. There are NO REFUNDS for missed classes; however, they may be made-up within 2 WEEKS of the absence.

The rates below are not adjusted from classes cancelled due to holidays, inclement weather or other uncontrollable circumstances. Likewise, there is NO EXTRA CHARGE for months that have 5 classes. Tuition is based on how many hours per week a student studies at LKW. It is a yearly tuition, that we can divide into convenient monthly payments. A one hour class is $58 per month, a 45 minute class is $53 per month, and every hour after the first hour is billed at a 50% discount.

 

In the event of another shut down, LKW Dance Center will continue dance training remotely via Zoom.

Should you choose to pay monthly you must leave a credit card on file.  Cash/check payments must be made by the 15th of each month.  If payment is not received by the 15th of the month, the balance due plus a $15 late fee will be charged to the credit card on file.  Tuition can be paid by cash, check or Mastercard/Visa. No checks will be accepted after April 15th.

In Studio Rules

---

Students must be dressed properly, hair pulled off face and absolutely no jewelry for every class.

 

All school students must be prepared to dance at the start of each class. Late students may only enter with permission from the director/teacher and may be asked to sit and observe class for injury prevention.

 

Students who miss three or more classes run the risk of missed information. The more you’re here ... the more you know …. the more you dance.

 

If a student is absent, makeup classes are encouraged. Students are allowed to make up missed classes by attending an additional class. (all makeup classes are at the responsibility of the student/parent)

LKW is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Please do not bring valuable items to dance class.

 

No gum, food, or drinks other than water are permitted in the studio.
