FAQ

Yes, as class schedules vary season to season, each dancer will need to re-enroll and pay a registration fee at the beginning of each new season. 

Tuition is due monthly. We do not offer refunds for missed classes, but make-up classes are available if your dancer misses a session. We do not offer a drop-in rate. 

Yes! We offer family discounts and early registration savings. Contact the studio for details.

Good businesses are not run by having hidden fees. We are upfront from the beginning of the season by explaining all the costs involved with our program. Here is what you can expect to pay for throughout the season:

• Registration Fee
• Monthly Tuition
• Practice wear (available at the front desk)
• Recital Fees
• Christmas Costume Rental 
• Spring Costume Purchase 
• Performance tights & shoes
• Recital tickets
• Class Pictures (optional)
• Recital Video (optional)

We understand that plans can change. If you need to withdraw your dancer mid-season, we require a 30-day written notice due to the performance-based nature of our program and limited class space. Please email your withdrawal request to accounting@energydanceco.com.

You will no longer be charged for tuition 30 days after we receive your notice.

Please note: Costume fees, tights, and shoes are non-refundable, but you may keep those items as a keepsake if your dancer withdraws before the recital.

Yes, subject to space availability. Please contact the office to request a class change.

Parents are welcome to observe through the window during the first lesson of each month. For all other classes, we ask parents to wait in the lobby to minimize distractions.

We cap our classes at different sizes depending on age group. Generally, we allow up to 10 dancers in a 3-5 year old class, 12 dancers in a 5-9 year old class, and up to 15 dancers in classes with older age groups. For younger age-groups, we will bring in an assistant teacher to help with classroom management. If a class has three or fewer students enrolled, the class will be canceled or combined.

If your dancer is going to be late or miss class, please call or text the studio at 385-244-1374. If no one answers, please leave a voicemail. 

We recommend that all dancers participate in the dance recitals.  Participating in a dance recital will boost confidence, promote teamwork, and will be a lasting memory for your child.

The recital fee is due for each dancer participating in the recital. It helps to cover the expensive cost of renting the venue, and pays for the professional venue staff as well as the EDC staff to work the dress rehearsal and show.

We offer reserved seating for both of our recitals. We find that this reduces confusion at the door and eliminates early arrival for seat-saving. Since not all seats are treated equally, ticket prices vary based on where you choose to sit. Recital ticket sales go toward the cost of renting the recital venue.

About a week or two prior to the recital, we will send home costumes in a garment bag with a note that explains how your dancer should wear their costume, accessories, tights, shoes, hair and makeup.

Christmas Recital: We offer rental costumes at $30 each (due October 10).

Tights & Shoes: Specific tights and shoes are required for performances, costing about $22 for tights and $15–$30 for shoes. These are worn for both recitals, so please keep them in good condition. Payment is due October 10.

Spring Recital: Costume cost is $100, split into two payments of $45 (due November and January). We order costumes in December, so early payment is necessary. You’ll wear the same tights and shoes as for Christmas; late joiners or those needing replacements must purchase new tights and shoes with their costume payment.
