Tuition for classes

All tuition is per month.  We collect tuition the 1st of each month.  Tuition is non-refundable, and non-transferable.  We host year-round classes, so all our students continue taking class until they give written notice of withdrawal.

 

These monthly tuitions are all-inclusive of registration and showcase fees.

 

Please visit the class listings in your age group for exact tuition rates. Everything covered in the all-inclusive tuition is listed there.  Also please read the Payment information when you scroll down.

 

Tuition is the same each month.  It does not fluctuate due to holidays or unattended lessons.  We base tuition fees per student / family on a “47 weeks of class / twelve month season” which we divide into equal monthly payments. This allows for some months to have 5 weeks, and some months to have 3.

 

This is non-negotiable.  All tuition and registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.  We offer a 14-Day / 2 Class Money Back Guarantee; see policy below.

 

Payment

First & Last Month

All students pay the first and last month of tuition upfront for each class they register for.  This means there is no charge for your final month of class with us.  All tuition payments are non-refundable and non-transferable.

We accept payment via credit card through our online registration system.  We automatically process all credit cards on the 1st of every month. Tuition bills are not sent out monthly, but you can login to your JackRabbit account to view upcoming payments.

 

Summer Camps and Summer Programs

To reserve your or your child’s spot, you will be required to pay a 50% non-refundable deposit. We process the remaining amount for all summer programs on the 1st of the month that the camp occurs. If registering for summer programs after this date, then we process your payment within a few days of registration. Please note that there is a One-time Summer Program $25 Registration Fee for each student.  Your tuition receipt will reflect this.

​

Students may not skip a month and return to class without paying for the month missed.  The Charlotte Cirque & Dance Center reserves the right to ask that students sit out of classes for delinquent accounts, until such account is paid in full.

 

Money Back Guarantee

We personally guarantee that you or your child LOVES our classes. If after your first class you or your child is not happy, we work with you to see if changes in class need to be made.  If after your second class you find that the Charlotte Cirque & Dance Center is not the right fit, we will refund you the cost for any remaining unattended classes.  For purposes of this Money Back Guarantee, we assume one month’s tuition covers four classes.

​

Simply email info@cltcirquedancecenter.org prior to your two weeks ending and let us know.  We do not accept cancellations through the teacher.  All notices must be in writing via email.  We then refund your money directly to your credit card on file.

 

Money Back Guarantee is valid for 14 days from first class attended.  Only new, registered students are eligible for our money-back guarantee.  Our money-back guarantee only applies to weekly classes.  It does not apply to intensives, workshops, or camps.  Money-back guarantee only applies to students withdrawing from the Charlotte Cirque & Dance Center within the 14-day time period.  It does not apply to missed classes.  Our Money Back Guarantee is only valid once per family.

​

Dropping a Class or Summer Program

​

Upon registration, students and their families agree that they must give CC&DC a minimum of 30 days notice that they will be dropping a class.

 

Showcase Creation Period

Due to preparation for the Spring Student Showcase, no drops or class changes may occur.  Drops during this time negatively affect the rest of the students in the group performance.

​

To drop from a class,

• we require written notice to the Charlotte Cirque & Dance Center a minimum of 30 days prior to withdrawal via email at info@cltciquedancecenter.org.

• Then we apply your final month’s payment and open the class slot to a child on our waiting list.

• Tuition charges continue to incur until notice is given.

• Teachers may not accept drop notices in class.

• We limit our class sizes for safety reasons.  Due to this, we have a rather strict class drop policy.

• We consider students absent unless we receive written notice.

 

To drop from a Summer Program

• If you pay your Summer Program / Camp in full prior to May 1 and need to cancel, we will refund 50%.

• If a student is injured and needs to switch to a different week of camp, please send us a doctors note along with your request.  We will move your child, space permitting.

• There is a $25 processing fee to switch weeks of camp without a doctors note.

 

Registration and Showcase Fees

All fees are already included in the all-inclusive pricing structure.

 

Late Fee

We charge a $25 late fee on all accounts in arrears for ten days or more. Students with unpaid bills may not register or continue with classes until arrangements are made.

​

Injury Policy affecting Class Participation

A doctors note MUST be shown to all teachers providing details of injury.  It should include how long the student is to remain off of injury. Please remember that unless you have a medical background or degree, your opinions on how long your child should or should not be out for an injury may be overlooked until we receive an actual note from the doctor.

 

Upon the receipt of a doctor’s note, we will happily place your account on hold until your child is able to once again participate.  This account credit must be activated within 60 days of injury.  If the injury requires a longer recovery time, simply email us at info@clticirquedancecenter.org to discuss options going forward.

 

When injuries occur, please know that you or your child SHOULD still attend class to watch.  This depends on how severe the injury is, of course. Students learn almost as much by watching as by doing.  Please do not miss the opportunity for you or your child to increase their knowledge.  Observing class and taking notes is a wonderful way to shorten the “catch-up time” after an injury has healed.
