PAYMENT POLICY: 

Prodigy Dance Centre's season runs from August 5, 2024 - May 10, 2025. All dancers are required to pay for the entire season. Tuition is not based on the number of classes in a month or attendance. There is NO refund for missed classes as we provide a make-up schedule. 

  

The first months payment is due on August 1st, and this payment is non-refundable. Each family is required to keep a Debit/Credit card or ACH/Bank Draft on file with Prodigy Dance Centre. Your first months tuition and registration fee will be automatically drafted within 48 hours of your registration using the payment information you provide. After that, your monthly fees will be processed based on the e-payment schedule you select during your enrollment. All payments must be submitted either electronically through your Parent Portal, Auto Draft or by Debit/Credit card, check or cash in the office. We have a few payment options for you to choose from:

​

Automatic Withdrawal - When you register online you will choose one of the following options:

​

• 1st of the Month - If you select this option, your monthly tuition fees will be automatically debited from the debit/credit card or ACH/bank draft on file on the 1st of the month. If your payment is declined, you have 48 hours to re-submit your payment online before you acquire a late fee of $15.

​

• 10th of the Month - If you select this option, your monthly tuition fees will be automatically debited from the debit/credit card or ACH/bank draft on file on the 10th of the month. If your payment is declined, you have 48 hours to re-submit your payment online before you acquire a late fee of $15.

​

• 15th of the Month - If you select this option, your monthly tuition fees will be automatically debited from the debit/credit card or ACH/bank draft on file on the 15th of the month. If your payment is declined, you have 48 hours to re-submit your payment online before you acquire a late fee of $15.

​

You will not receive a billing statement or invoice, however, you will receive a receipt of payment each month after the auto-draft. 

​

Manually (Card, Check or Cash) - If you select this option, you will be responsible for making your monthly tuition payment manually in your parent portal or in the office. You will select this option when you register online in the e-payment section. You will still have to provide payment information to keep on file if you choose this option. If you do not make your payment by the 15th of the month, you will have 24 hours to submit your payment before we automatically draft your tuition using your payment information on file. If your payment is declined, you have 48 hours to re-submit your payment online before you acquire a late fee of $15.

 

All monthly tuition payments (if applicable), Year-End show costume payments, and Year-End show fees will be auto-drafted to the card on file. Tuition is due on the first of every month and will be auto-drafted each month on the day you specified unless you choose the Manual option. If you choose auto-draft, you will be emailed a receipt after your tuition is auto-drafted. Year-End show costume payments will be auto-drafted on November 1, 2024
