Studio Information

Tuition and Attendance

Tuition charges are based on enrollment, not on attendance. The 2026-2027 GDDS tuition rates are based on a 33 week dance school year. Rates have been divided into nine equal payments for your convenience. Tuition is due on the 1st of each month September 1st, 2026 through May 1st, 2027. Monthly payments occur by online auto draft from your checking account or credit card. Visa, MasterCard and Discover cards are accepted. Tuition discounts are available with payment of annual tuition (5%) or semi-annual tuition (3%). A $15.00 late fee will be added to accounts on the 5th day of the month for all unpaid tuition. A $25.00 return check charge will be added to any unsupported payments. A $25.00 late fee will be added to accounts where a payment method has been removed to avoid payment. Grayce DeWitt Dance Studio does not charge a recital fee. The GDDS staff appreciates a telephone call or email notification if a students is ill or unable to attend a class. A make up class may be requested at that time. Any missed classes may be made up by attending a class of same level and same age range only within the same calendar month. If the dancer misses classes in the last week of a calendar month, the dancer may make up the class in the following calendar month. No credits or refunds are given for missed class(es). Students may not make up more than twice in the exact same class. Classes cancelled due to inclement weather will not be rescheduled.
