Georgia Dance Conservatory Studio Policies
Registration
GDC’s Registration Fee is non-refundable and reserves a dancer’s spot in class.
Returning Families Registration Fee: $15 per student
New Families Registration Fee: $30 per student
Tuition
Monthly tuition is calculated by 36 weeks of classes and prorated over 10 months from August through May.
Tuition is due by the 1st of each month.
Monthly autopay option is available and highly encouraged.
To reduce the amount of traffic in the studio, all payments should be made online through GDC’s Studio Director online payment portal.
GDC Family Discount
GDC’s Family Discount Rates are designed for families with two or more dancers who are taking multiple classes per week.
To qualify for GDC’s Family Discount, you must meet the following qualifications:
- Two or more dancers in your immediate family
- Total family weekly in-person hours of 7 or more
Additional terms and conditions apply. Family discount rates are not automatically applied. To request the family discount, please email us at g.d.c.desk@georgiadance.com.
Recital
All GDC classes culminate in an end of the year recital performance (unless they are specifically designated as a non-recital class). This allows the dancers to get a full dance experience from the classroom to the stage.
- GDC Recital Dress Rehearsals 2023: TBA
- GDC Recital 2023: TBA
Recital Costume Fees are due by Oct 15th 2022 (see rates).
The Recital Performance Fee confirms your dancer’s spot in Recital 2021 and is due by March 1st, 2022.
Refunds/Credits
All Registration, Tuition, Recital Costume, and Recital Performance fees are non-refundable.
Classes missed due to inclement weather, illness, or vacation will not be issued a refund or GDC account credit.
A refund or GDC account credit will be issued for classes cancelled due to lack of enrollment.
Late Payments/Returned Checks
All fees are due in full by the first of each month. Any accounts that are not paid in full by the 5th will be assessed a 10% late fee. Students with accounts over 30 days past due will be suspended from class participation until the account is current.
- If your family is experiencing financial hardship, please reach out to GDC office manager Tori Hines at tori.hines@georgiadance.com so we can work with you directly.
Returned checks will be assessed a $25.00 Service Fee, plus any other fees that are assessed by the bank to GDC.
COVID-19
In the event of a studio closure due to COVID-19, GDC will continue to hold classes online via Zoom.
In the event GDC is unable to hold a recital due to COVID-19, Performance Fees will be credited to your GDC account and the credit may be used toward any future GDC balance. No refunds will be issued.
