We are located
at 249 North Avenue in Wakefield, MA. Our large comfortable
waiting room and fully air-conditioned studios are spacious

studios in our building - offering more choices for all
ages & levels!
Convenient location with plenty of street parking
during classes. Run errands while you wait or
enjoy a cup of coffee nearby!
Tired of wondering what to do with younger siblings while
you wait?? No longer a problem…bring them along for
playtime in our child-friendly waiting area – they’ll
love it and you can sit back and enjoy your dancer’s
day at class!
Tuition Fees & Policy:
See Schedule for Fall 2011 for
specific monthly class tuition.
As always, we encourage you to contact us directly at 781-258-6807
for any questions anytime throughout the year. But to help
you begin your dance year with us, here are some general
policies:
CALENDAR: We
generally follow the WAKEFIELD public schools as far as
holidays, vacations, snow days, etc. but we will distribute
an official calendar to every student during the first month
of classes.
ATTENDANCE:
Clearly we encourage good attendance as it certainly helps
our dancers to grow & learn – however, we do not
reward or punish dancers based on attendance. If your child
is absent for longer than 2 weeks in a row, please contact
us to let us know that they are still coming back. We hold
a spot for every child registered and unless we hear from
you directly, we assume your child will return to class
when able.
TUITION:
Tuition is due on the first lesson of every month if you
have not paid for the year in full in advance.
Tuition is divided up
into 9 EQUAL monthly payments (Sept. - May) based on the
full dance year. Tuition DOES NOT CHANGE monthly based on
the number of classes that fall within that month. You are
responsible for all tuition payments until you notify us
by telephone or email that your child has decided not to
return. We continue to hold a spot for every student each
month unless otherwise notified and therefore tuition is
due until we are notified of your child’s termination.
We cannot adjust tuition based on absences for any
reason and we do not refund monthly tution in the event
you decide to no longer take a class - you are welcome to
finish the month that you have paid for. Every
student is welcome to make up dance time in a class of a
similar age group at a time convenient for the parent/student
– simply notify your teacher and they can help you
choose an appropriate time to make up for absences. NOTE:
As we are finalizing our recital date for 2012, we will
be open into June this year for classes. Each student will
be required to pay 1/2 of their monthly tuition for June
– due at the end of May - even if you have paid for
your full year in advance, June is additional. There
is a $10 late fee for tuition payments made after the 10th
of each month and there is a $35 returned check fee on all
payments returned by our bank.
PRE-PAYMENT SAVINGS!!!:
Pay in full for the year by September - get ONE
MONTH FREE! (multiply your monthly tuition by
8 months instead of 9 - May is free! Payment must be presented
to us in September!) Reminder - June is an additional
1/2 month payment due at the end of May. (If you pay
for the year in advance and then your child decides to no
longer take their class - we DO REFUND you for the unused
portion of your tuition less a $20 administrative fee.)
FAMILY DISCOUNT!!:
For families with more than one child and/or one child that
takes more than one class – our discount allows you
to deduct $10 from your monthly total!
Recital tickets will be
$15 for our show in 2012; DVD purchase price will remain
at $29 for 2012; and finally, costume fees will be $60 per
child/per class for the 2012 recital as well (costume fees
will be due the first week in December).

holiday dance parties for our students and friends! Check

dates & times for extra-curricular DANCE PARTIES
