Tuition Rates
Tuition is due on the first of each month. Families have the option to prepay by semester, or for the entire year, for a discount of 5%. Please inquire for this option.
Payment will be the same amount each month, regardless of the number of classes taken in that month, from September to May. Recital costume prices will be released in October with full payment due by December 1.
Missed classes are not eligible for pro-rating or refunds. Missed classes can be made up within two weeks by attending another class of the same or similar level, as recommended by the director. Please notify the director of your desire to make up missed classes.
Families with more than one dancer who have not yet reached the unlimited family rate: Take 20% off the amount of second and subsequent dancer's tuition. Second dancer's full cost must be less than or equal to that of the first dancer.
A 20% discount will be applied for each new student who cites you as a referral. Please see the new student referral program (below) for more details.
Tuition Rates By Level
Tuition rates are averaged over nine months of equal payments, from September to May, regardless of the number of classes a particular student takes each month. Also, our registration software will figure out your totals for you!
For a second student in the same family, take 20% off the lesser amount.
Pink Level (ages 4-6), class length: 45 minutes
$50
Blue Level (age 7-9), all classes 60 minutes each
$60 first class, $30 each additional
Purple Level (age 9-11)
$100 Ballet, 2.5 hours total
$60 Jazz or Tap alone, add to other classes $30 each
Teal Level (age 11-13)
$175 Ballet, 5 hours total
$60 Lyrical, Modern, or Tap alone, add to other classes $30 each
Black Level (age 13+)
$175 Ballet, 5 hours total
$60 Lyrical, Modern, or Tap alone, add to other classes $30 each
***For Levels Purple and above, ballet meets on multiple days per week and each class lasts longer than an hour. Purple has two 75-minute classes and Teal and Black each have three 90-minute classes plus one 30-minute session dedicated to pointe technique. We do not separate these classes, because once students reach this age, frequency of practice becomes very important for reasonable progress. ***
Single student tuition cap: $200
Family tuition cap: $350
This means that once you reach this dollar amount, you can join as many additional classes as you like at no extra charge! A family can have as many students as would like to dance with us.

New Student Referral Program
Current dance families whose accounts are in good standing may refer new students for a discount of 20% off of the following month's payment for each new student who enrolls at Etudes (those who pay per semester will have the equivalent amount deducted from the following semester's payment). This discount may be combined with any others, with no limits. The new student may not be a sibling, parent, or child of any current student, live in the same household, have tuition being paid by - or otherwise be financially dependant on - the same person as the referring student. The new student may not be one who has been enrolled with Etudes previously. Both the new student and the current student must notify the director of the referral relationship, or the discount cannot be awarded. (In other words, it is your responsibility to make it known. Kara will not chase you down to ask.)
