MONTHLY PAYMENT PLAN
Take advantage of our budget billing! Contact our office if you would like your yearly payments broken into 10 monthly payments. The first payment is taken at registration and then the remaining payments will be due on the 15th of each month from September - May. If you join on or after September 15 then TWO payments will be due initially. In order to be on the monthly plan, you’ll need to have a credit/debit card on file with us. Our monthly payment option CANNOT be set up via our online system. You must call the office to select this payment option and we will manually override the system. Please note that there continues to be a 3% processing fee for credit card transactions (see below).
CREDIT CARD PROCESSING & LATE FEES
We are happy to process your Visa, Mastercard or Discover for payments but there is a 3% processing fee for all credit card transactions made online and in person. You may make a payment via check or cash to avoid this 3% fee. Payments MUST be made on time or in advance to avoid late fees. A late fee of $15 is assessed on ALL accounts two weeks or more in arrears.
LATE PAYMENT FEE
In order to ensure that families stay current in their payment of tuition fees, all accounts that are two weeks or more behind will incur a $15 late charge to their account per 7-week session. To mark your calendar for session start dates click here.
STUDIO NOTES
- “Ballet Tech” means the class will focus on technique for the entire year and will not perform in the recital.
- Each lobby has a locked deposit box for you to drop off payments and/or paperwork when the office is closed. Please feel free to use this secure method to keep your account current and to return registration information.
- We have a lost and found bin at each studio location for items that get left behind; however, this bin is emptied several times a year with unclaimed items donated to Goodwill or discarded. So don’t delay… look today for lost items!
2025 RECITAL
- If you did not receive your trophy at the recital, you may stop by the office to pick one up. If your child participated in the final session but was not able to be in the recital, he/she is still eligible to receive a trophy.
- Elkton High School recital DVD's are still available! To order one, call the office or complete an order form from the lobby.
- If you ordered a recital DVD, they are available for pick up in the lobby of the main studio.
- If you had recital pictures taken in our studio by Amorin Photography, an email was sent out with ordering information.

DRESS CODE
Please click here for information regarding our dress code for each of our dance styles. It is important that you dress appropriately so that the instructor can make sure your technique and form are correct. For classes requiring dance shoes we recommend purchasing those shoes at The Dance Station. Slippers found at Walmart or discount stores are not recommended as it's hard for the instructor to see if the foot is properly pointed.
NOTES ON ATTIRE: Although it is becoming more common to see professionals in the dance industry wearing crop tops, halters and sports bras, our studio requires dancers come to class dressed modestly with their torsos covered. We strive to promote a level of confidence that focuses on dance and not body image; therefore, students will be asked to change if they come to class exposing their torso. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please contact the office. Thank you for helping us to provide a family friendly atmosphere at Cecil Dancenter.
BALLET SLIPPER TIP
Please tuck your dancers ballet slipper laces underneath the top of the shoe. The lace may be cut shorter so it's more comfortable for your child (just make sure to double knot the lace). This provides a more aesthetic look for the mature dancer and for our younger dancers it helps the child/teacher to spend time on instruction rather than tying shoe laces.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Private lessons are a great way for students to get personalized attention and individualized corrections. We have staff members available to give private dance lessons at a rate of $25-$82/hour. If you are interested in private lessons, please contact our office.
WALKING TRAILS
If you are looking to fill the time while your child is in dance class, we have walking trails behind the studio property that go behind both of the neighboring businesses and leads to the Elk Creek. Parents, or the entire family, can take time to enjoy nature and the trails. Make sure to check for deer ticks after walking the property.
