STUDIO PARKING
Due to the number of families arriving and leaving at the same time, the parking lot can become very congested. If you are planning on staying during your child's class, please park behind the building, in front of the annex studio or in the side parking spots by our shop - there's ample room. The rear center door will be open during classes. We suggest driving around back using the main entrance driveway, dropping off and then continuing around the west side of the building following the gravel drive to exit onto Route 80. Please do not park in front of other businesses in the complex. The parking area in front of Palmieri's should be used for drop offs and pick ups only.
Please DO NOT ENTER THE UNPAVED NARROW DRIVE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING. This is an exit only. Please enter the parking lot in the large paved entrance. From there you can drive around the back of the building and exit out the unpaved drive.
PLEASE SLOW DOWN IN THE PARKING LOT. THERE ARE MANY PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THROUGH THE LOT BETWEEN CLASSES.

Monthly Tuition bills are due the first of each month. Make your payments conveniently and securely online by logging into our Customer Portal

Just click here to watch short instructional video. It's an easy way to manage your account with us anytime from anywhere!

Customers can also opt for auto-pay and avoid the extra step of logging in to pay each month. Notify our office that you would like to be an auto-pay customer, enter your payment method into your account online and your account will be automatically charged on the 1st of each month.
You may also pay by cash or check in our dance shop (credit card payments are only accepted online). Online payments are preferred. A $25 service fee will be charged for all returned checks.
All customers were required to submit a credit/debit card or bank draft information at registration. If your account is not paid in full by the 15th of the month, this payment method will be charged for the balance due. If your payment is declined, a $10 late fee will be applied to your account.
Payments can also be mailed to the studio or left in the "Check Box" in the main lobby waiting area, though paying through the Customer Portal is preferred.
