Financial Policies
Tuition
Full tuition payment is due at the time of registration,
students will not be permitted to take class until payment is
received or payment arrangements have been made. Full term tuition
fees paid in cash (currency not checks) will receive a 5%
discount.
Refunds/Credit
Refunds will only be given if a class is cancelled due
to low enrollment. Credit will be given
only in the event of a prolonged injury or
illness, which prohibits the student from dancing. A doctor's
statement must be presented to the Academy Office Manager in order
to claim class credit. Credit will not be carried over into the
following School year. There will be no credit
adjustments for voluntary withdrawal or for classes missed due to
the student's personal schedule; i.e. vacations, sports
participation, outside performances, etc.
Family Discount
A 10% discount on total fees for two or more students from the
same family. Payments must be made in full at the beginning of each
term, unless the payment plan is elected.
Butler Discount

coupled with any other discount offer).
Payment Plan
Payment may be made in two installments for a $25.00 fee. One
half of tuition plus the $25.00 fee must be paid at the time of
registration and the other half paid by the middle of the Term. If
the second half of tuition payment is not received by the due date,
the student will not be permitted to take class until the balance
is paid in full. Clients who opt to use the Payment Plan understand
that they are responsible for the second-half payment whether or
not they have continued in the class. They also understand that if
they fail to meet the requirements of the Payment Plan they will be
denied future use of this option. Other payment arrangements may be
made in cases of financial hardships. These special arrangements
are at the discretion of the Director.
