Tuition Policy   

Enrollment in the Telluride Dance Academy program is for a full semester. Arrangements must be made with the Program Director if paying per class for any dance program. 

Tuition for the entire semester is payable in full at the beginning of each semester. After the third week of classes a $25.00 late fee will be charged, unless arrangements have been made otherwise. Tuition shall be prorated for students who enroll after a semester has begun.

Tuition is non transferable and non-refundable after the third class, unless withdrawal is due to prolonged illness or injury verified by a doctor’s certificate. Missed classes can be made up in another class during the same semester in which the class was missed. No tuition deduction or allowance shall be made by reason of the absence, withdrawal, suspension, or dismissal of the student.  

Registration fee: In addition to tuition, a $25 per family registration fee will be collected at the time of enrollment per calendar school year. This fee is non-refundable.

Recital fee: There will be a recital fee of $15.00 per student and a costume fee that will not exceed $50.00, unless a written consent is given by parents. Costume fees must be paid in full one week prior to the performance or the student will not be allowed to perform.

Implementing these tuition policies will help TDA better serve you and your children!
