• You may take classes at both locations and add up your hours the same. All locations are Hart Academy of Dance.
• An annual registration fee of $35 per student, or $55 per family, is due upon registration. (Registration fee is valid one season August-July). All 2023-2024 Season dancers were billed registration fees on July 7, 2024.
• Before starting classes, you must enroll, pay the registration fee, and your first month’s tuition online.
• You will be billed every month, on the 1st, once you are registered. If you will be discontinuing lessons, please submit a drop request form in person or through email, so we can stop billing your account. You must submit the form by the 23rd of the PREVIOUS month in order not to pay for the next month’s tuition.
• Invoices will be emailed and are available to view on your customer portal. All tuition and monthly fees are due on the 7th of each month and will be automatically charged to your credit or debit card on file. Being on autopay is a requirement at Hart Academy of Dance. If you do not wish to have your tuition and fees deducted from your credit/debit card, you can pay by cash or check prior to the 7th. If your card declines, please update with a new card on file. If your card declines and no replacement card is added, a late fee will be assessed on the 10th for $25. Hart reserves the right to charge the card on file until payment is made in full. Hart reserves the right to stop lessons due to non-payment and drop students from classes.
• If you wish to change your classes, you must confirm enrollment with the front desk before starting the new classes.
• Hart will prorate tuition if a student registers during the middle of the month. We do not refund for classes dropped mid-month.
• You may make up a class; however, you must schedule it with the desk manager before class is taken. Make-ups are to be taken within one month of the missed class. All makeups expire after one month of missed class.
• If you are enrolled in a full class, you must pay full tuition each month to remain registered for the class. Non-payment or excessive absences will forfeit your spot in the class.
• Our billing is based on the calendar year. Hart does not charge for the occasional 5th week lesson in each month. However, we do not give refunds for classes closed due to holidays. Students are allowed to make up technique classes due to closures.
• All customers will have access to his or her Jackrabbit portal. You may make payments and check statements on this site.
