Policies & Guidelines

📌 Enrollment Fee

• $35 per child or $60 per family
• Must be paid before your child’s first class, along with tuition

📌 Tuition Overview

• Tuition is based on a yearly rate (September–May/June)
• Divided into nine equal monthly installments
• Some months have 3 classes, others have 5; monthly payments remain the same
• Tuition is not prorated for missed classes

📌 Payment Options

We offer three convenient payment plans:

✅ Monthly Installments (9 payments)

✅ Semester Payment

✅ Full-Year Payment

📌 Payment Schedule

• No monthly invoices will be sent.
• Tuition is always due before the first class of each term.
• Please pay on time each month to avoid late fees.

📌 Holidays & Closures

• Scheduled studio holidays and closures are already factored into your nine payments.
• If you join after the first week of a month, the full monthly installment is still required.
• Make-ups in similar-level classes are encouraged for any missed weeks.

📌 No Refund Policy

• Mobile Bay Dance Academy does not offer refunds, credits, or transfers for any reason.
• If classes transition to virtual instruction, tuition remains due, and classes will continue at regular times.

🩰 Dress Code

Proper dance attire and shoes are required at all times.

Our dress code is designed to:

✔️ Minimize distractions

✔️ Keep dancers focused

✔️ Ensure safety

✨ Please label all items with your dancer’s name.

🚪 No Visitors in Class

For the benefit of all dancers, parents and visitors are not permitted inside the dance classroom. Dancers focus better and gain confidence when learning independently. If your child feels anxious about being in class alone, reassure them that they will get to show you what they’ve learned after class!

📅 Class Attendance

Regular attendance is essential for your dancer’s growth and the class’s progress.

✅ By attending, we assume students are healthy and able to participate. If your child has an injury (e.g., sprained ankle, cast), please notify us in advance; they may still observe class.

📧 Communication

We work hard to keep the dance experience organized and fun!

• Our primary method of communication is email.
• Please read all newsletters and emails carefully.
• If you are not receiving emails, contact us to verify your address.
• Add info@mobilebaydanceacademy.com to your contacts to prevent emails from going to spam.

⭐ Respecting Staff Time

While all concerns and questions are important to us, we kindly ask you to respect our staff’s personal time. Please avoid contacting staff via text or Facebook Messenger after 7:00 PM or on holidays.

💗 Questions?

We know the beginning of a new dance year can come with lots of questions! Please don’t hesitate to email us at info@mobilebaydanceacademy.com. We’re always happy to help!
