Every year, one of the highlights of our recital is the beautiful keepsake Program Book that showcases our studio and celebrates our dancers. Each family is encouraged to support their dancer by purchasing or selling an ad that may include a photo, words of wisdom, best wishes, or a special congratulations message.
We invite you to ask family, friends, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and even local businesses to sponsor a picture page for your dancer. Students may also be pictured with a fellow dancer, and families are welcome to share the cost of an ad. Dancers may purchase more than one advertisement.
Make your child’s recital experience complete by purchasing an ad in our annual Program Book. It’s a meaningful way to recognize the dancer in your life for their hard work and dedication. Ads are also a wonderful opportunity for local businesses to advertise and reach a targeted audience. We offer a variety of sizes, with ads starting at just $25.
You will be able to choose the portrait used in your advertisement once picture proofs are ready. After receiving your proofs, you will submit the selected portrait number through the Google Form. Our team will design the ad for you, making the process easy and stress-free.
✨ NEW THIS YEAR - COLOR AD OPTIONS!
Due to popular request, we are excited to now offer full-color ad options in addition to our traditional ads. This is a fun and eye-catching way to make your dancer’s page truly stand out!
🏆 COVER GIRL CONTEST
The dancer who sells the most ads will be featured as our 2026 Cover Girl!
Cover Girl ad sales end April 16, 2026.
All Program Book ads are due by May 1, 2026.
Thank you for helping us create a beautiful keepsake and for supporting our dancers. This book truly becomes a treasured memory for years to come.

Tuition
If you paid for fall semester, spring semester tuition was due by Jan 1.
Class fees are invoiced by the term. The full term invoice must be paid, regardless of the number of classes the student wishes to attend (or actually attends). There will be no refunds, credits, or transfers if the full term isn't completed. For your convenience, the term can be broken down into 9 monthly payments. When enrolling in our classes, you are committing to a service contract for a complete term.
Mobile Bay Dance Academy does not offer refunds for cancellations.
Dance Tuition is always due before the 1st dance class.
For your convenience, we have a Monthly Payment Option, Semester Payment Option as well as a Yearly Payment Option.
You will not receive a monthly invoice.
Please make sure you pay on time to avoid late fees. Tuition is based on a yearly rate, from September through May/June, paid in nine payments. Some months have three classes while other months have five classes. Monthly payment installments remain the same throughout the year. We do not prorate tuition for any reason.

Class Attendance
Students must attend classes regularly for their own benefit as well as the growth and development of the class as a whole. Our dance classes are based on individual commitment; however they are fueled by the entire class. By coming to class we assume that all students are healthy and able to dance. If your child has a sprained ankle, cast, etc. PARENTS should let us know about the situation in advance and we will let your child observe the class.
No Parents or Visitors in Dance Class
No Parents or visitors are allowed in the dance classroom. Dancers are more focused and perform better with less people in the room. Dance is also about learning independence. You will see your dancer grow so much in confidence from their dance
classes. If your child is feeling anxious about being in class without you, you can help by explaining to your child that they can show you what they learned after class.
Communication
We work hard to make the dance experience organized and fun. Keeping you informed is one of our primary goals. Please read all newsletters and other dance class information. The studio's primary method of communication with parents is via e-mail. If you are not receiving e-mails from us, please contact us to ensure your current e-mail address is on file.
Please add the studio e-mail address:
info@mobilebaydanceacademy.com
to your contact list so that all communications will display in your e-mail Inbox and not a spam folder.
***Please Note
While all of our student/parent concerns or questions are important to us, we ask that you respect our staff's personal time and not contact them via Text or Facebook messenger after 7 p.m. or on holidays.
You may email us at any time!
