In addition to tuition, all students taking classes at the Ballet Arts Academy studios must pay a $25 per-student annual registration fee. This fee is due at the time of registration.

Tuition Policies
There are two payment plans available:
Plan 1: Semester. Pay tuition in two installments and save 5% over the monthly installment plan. Payments are due by September 10th for Fall semester and January 10th for Spring semester.
Plan 2: Monthly. Pay your tuition in monthly installments. Payments are installments toward your total tuition, regardless of how many classes are offered in any particular month. Payments are
due the 10th of each month.
Dancers may take extra classes in a month at a charge of $13.00 per class (with prior permission from the teacher). Punch cards are available at $60.00 for 5 classes or $120.00 for 10 classes. Punch cards
are good only through the semester in which they are purchased.
Family households with 2 or more students receive a 10% discount.
BAA must be notified in writing if a student is withdrawing from the studio. If written notice is not received, you will be responsible for payment of the entire semester. If withdrawing before the first class, a full refund will be made. In most cases, tuition is non-refundable after classes have started.
Students will not be allowed to participate in class if their tuition is more than 60 days late.
Missed classes may be made up during the same month in the level above or below the dancer’s regular class. Prior permission from the teacher of the make-up class must be obtained.
The year is divided into two semesters: September-December and January-May. Students may reduce the number of classes they are registered for at the semester break only.
Need-based financial aid is available in the form of work study. Completion of a confidential application and approval by the BAA Financial Aid Committee is required. Work study applications for Fall semester are due by September 15th; applications for Spring semester are due by January 15th.
The Board reserves the right to cancel, within the first 4 weeks of the semester, any class with less than 5 students enrolled.
Attendance Policy
lLearning to dance requires one to view, practice, and participate. Attendance is critical in order to progress. When one student is absent, the whole class falls behind when that student returns. During the spring, as we prepare for our recital, classes are used for rehearsals. Attendance is MANDATORY unless you receive prior consent from the teacher, or due to illness. This year we are implementing an attendance requirement that allows no more than three absences from March through the performance in May. Students missing more than three classes will not be allowed to perform. This is a matter of respect for the other students and the faculty. If you have questions on this new policy, please contact Michele.
