TUITION:

Tuition at TDA is all inclusive and prices are per month and include tuition, costume, recital fees, and insurance.  Family members receive a discount of 25% for 2nd child and 50% for each additional child.  Adult classes are also ½ price for parents of registered dancers.  Ballet and Jazz are required to take all other styles of dance. Per your agreement, you will owe for all classes you participate in with The Dance Attic throughout the duration of the contract. *All ages are approximate.  Placement is determined by a combination of factors including age and skill level by TDA staff.   We feel strongly that all styles of dance should be reinforced with ballet and jazz, therefore we require all dancers to take these classes.  Exceptions may be made only at the discretion of the staff. Once you are registered for classes, TDA is able to set up a “Pay In Full” option for families who would like to pay for the year up front. Please email us at info@thedanceattic.com to inquire on this moving forward.  Any boy that registers to dance with The Dance Attic will receive a discount on their tuition! #boysdancetoo
