September 2023 Newsletter


Dress Code Reminders:

Dance is a disciplined art form. Let's start the year off right.


  • Leotards and tights are REQUIRED for all classes.

(Remember, please no panties under tights)


  • Tights (even in warm weather) are not only for warming the leg muscles, but for modesty as well. Please remember TIGHTS every week!


  • Hair up for all classes. Bun is BEST, but tightly secured ponytails or pigtails work too.


  • Sneakers are required for hip-hop classes


  • PLEASE put your names in all dance shoes. New shoes all look alike and therefore easily get lost. You can also order Mabel's Labels in support of the SEDA Booster Club!

  • Oleander Parking Lot- Please DO NOT park in the brick building's parking lot next door. That is not ours. Ours is the gravel parking lot behind the building. Access it from Mulberry Street. If you stay during your child's class, please park behind the building. There are plenty of marked spaces. This makes it easier for the parents that are picking up and dropping off. Thank You.

Tuition Payment Options


  • ONE FULL YEAR PAYMENT (5% tuition discount) Must be paid by cash, check, or ACH September 15th.
  • 2 SEMESTER PAYMENTS (2% tuition discount) Payment one is due at registration. Payment two is due January 10th. Both payments can be paid by cash, check, or ACH. The second payment can also be drafted.
  • MONTHLY AUTOMATIC DRAFT (our preferred method) You can choose to draft monthly from a checking account. To choose this option you must fill out the payment agreement with the office.


There is a 3% credit card processing fee for ALL credit card transactions.  


SEDA is updating our tuition payment system to make our process more streamlined for office staff and account holders. Please go online, if you haven’t done so already, and input your credit card information into your parent portal by October 1st, 2023. Click here for our Parent PortalAll new registrations will not have the option of omitting this step, thus we are requiring it from everyone who is currently registered or returning. As usual tuition is due by the 1st of each month, no later than the 15th, and can be paid via cash, credit card, debit card, ACH, check, or online through the parent portal. After the 15th of the month, a $25 late fee will be charged and enforced on all accounts past due, including e-payment accounts. Late notices will be sent via email. Tuition is not pro-rated for absences or studio closures. Students are encouraged to attend makeup classes for classes missed. Just like our other payment options you are not required to have your e-payment information used as a primary source of payment, but you will have to fill out an E-Payment Removal Form if you wish to pay in another way. If we have your ACH Payment Agreement form already on file, an E-Payment Removal Form is not needed. Our Full Payment, Semester Payment, and ACH options are still available.

 

**If you do not have an E-Payment Removal Form on file, your credit card will be drafted recurring monthly starting October 1st. Recurring monthly drafts will end May 1, 2024 unless you give 30 days notice to withdraw from dance.**

 

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We understand this will be a transition but appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we evolve into more modern practices of business operation.
