This provides an option for adult students to essentially freeze their membership if there is a point in the season they cannot attend and resume when they are able. Should at any point in the season an RR class loses members and becomes too small, the studio reserves the right to cancel the class.

Discounts are added for students enrolling in 2 or more hours of dance or acro classes per week. Discounts are calculated based on the amount of hours a student signs up for.
- 2-3 hours per week = 5% discount
- 4-6 hours per week = 10% discount
- 6+ hours per week = capped at $318.60 + GST per month. Any additional hours are added at a flat rate of $35 + GST per month.
To calculate class fees add up your student’s hours & apply the corresponding discount. Ex. 2 hours per week = 1 hour class rate ($59) X 2 = $118 – minus 5% discount ($5.90) = $112.10 + GST.
*Please note that aerial classes are calculated separately and not included in any discounts with dance or acro classes.
- Registration Fee: An additional $35, non-refundable Registration Fee per student must be submitted at the time of enrollment.
- Costume Fee: A $50 costume fee is charged for all applicable (recital performing) classes on November 1st and is processed with that month’s tuition fees.
