2026-2027 PAYMENT POLICIES/AUTHORIZATION

​

2026-2027 Registration and Tuition Payment Information: Prodigy Dance Centre tuition is based on an entire season of dance. Our season runs from August 10, 2026-May 4, 2027. All dancers are required to pay for the entire season. If you enroll mid-season we will prorate your tuition based on when you begin dancing with us. Tuition is not based on the number of classes in a month or on attendance. There is NO refund for missed classes as we provide a make-up schedule. You may pay the entire season in full or pay it in monthly installments. At the time of registration, an installment equal to one full month will be due. The registration fee and one month installment are non-refundable. The other installments are due the 1st of each month, September 2026 - with the last installment due May 2027, and will be automatically billed to the card on file on the 1st of each month. 

​

All monthly tuition payments, Year-End Show costume payments, and Year-End Show fees will be auto-drafted to the card on file. You will be emailed a receipt after your tuition is auto-drafted.

TUITION PAYMENT IN FULL: If you opt to pay the entire season in full prior and then withdraw from classes for any reason (loss of interest, school obligations, injury, illness, etc.), a 30% penalty will be applied to your refund for the remainder of the year. We suggest you only pay the year in full if you are 100% confident your dancer will participate fully in the entire season. If for any reason we provide a tuition discount during one or more months of the season, this discount will not apply to prepayments. No further discounts are available. 

RECEIPT OF PAYMENT: You will not receive a billing statement or invoice prior to any charges, however, you will receive a receipt of payment each month after the auto-draft. 

LATE FEE: A $25 Late Fee will be automatically charged for any payments not made in full by the 5th of the month.

​

RETURNED ITEM FEE: $40 for any returned check or declined payment of any form.

LOBBY & WAITING AREAS:

Children must be supervised at all times while in the lobby or waiting areas unless they are actively participating in a scheduled class. Prodigy Dance Centre is not responsible for the supervision of children outside of the classroom. To ensure a safe and positive environment for all, families who are unable to follow these guidelines may be asked not to use the space. 

​

DROP-OFF & PICK-UP:

I understand that Prodigy Dance Centre is not responsible for children before they enter the studio for their scheduled class or after they are dismissed. Parents/guardians are responsible for ensuring safe drop-off and prompt pick-up.

​

EXITING THE BUILDING BETWEEN CLASSES:

I understand that if my dancer exits the building unsupervised between classes, the studio, its owners, and staff are no longer responsible for the supervision, safety, or whereabouts of my child until they return for their next scheduled class.

​

I understand that areas outside of Prodigy Dance Centre's leased space—including but not limited to sidewalks, parking lot, and surrounding businesses—are not controlled or supervised by Prodigy Dance Centre. The studio assumes no responsibility or liability for any incidents, injuries, or damages that occur in these areas. Supervision of children in all common areas is the sole responsibility of the parent or guardian.

MAKE-UP CLASSES: 

If your dancer misses class due to illness or other personal reasons, they will be able to make up the missed class in a similar class. There will be no discount or refund given for missed classes. There are no make-ups for classes missed when the studio is officially closed for holidays, etc. All classes missed due to inclement weather can be made up at your convenience using our existing class schedule.

• For the safety of our dancers, we follow Muscogee County's decisions on inclement weather school closings. However, you should always use your own judgement when deciding to travel due to weather. We will confirm our closing via email when inclement weather affects Prodigy Dance Centre. We will also communicate all schedule changes on social media as well! All classes missed due to inclement weather can be made up at your convenience using our existing class schedule.
