Welcome to Mary Ellen Studio Of Dance
Tuition Policies
Please click on our Class Pricing page for our current tuition rates.
Tuition is based on the number of classes per year and divided into monthly payments. Monthly payments remain the same regardless of the number of weeks per month, school closures, or absences.
Payments are due in advance on the 1st of each month. A $20.00 late fee is issued automatically on the 8th if the bill has not been paid. We do not prorate classes. There is no credit for missed lessons. Make-up classes are available.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Monthly Tuition statements are sent 2 weeks prior to the due date (1st of each month). If you attempt to make a payment prior to the 1st of the month, your account will show a $0.00 balance, and you will have to enter the proper amount manually.
Payments may be paid as follows:
Cash, Check, or Money Order: Cash check or money orders are only accepted at the studio payable to Mary Ellen Studio Of Dance. We do not accept post-dated checks. Any checks returned due to non-sufficient funds (NSF) will be charged a $25.00 fee. Payment may be made online with a debit or credit card. Debit or credit card payment will not be accepted at the studio.
Credit or Debit Cards: Payments by credit or debit cards are only acceptable online.
* The studio does NOT currently offer autopay as an option.
