Tuition is charged monthly, and is due on the 1st of each month. Planet Dance does not pro-rate tuition for shorter months. Studio closures for calendar holidays and breaks are figured into tuition rates. A late fee of $30 is added to all tuition payments collected after the 5th of each month. Dancers with accounts not paid in full by the 10th of each month will be unable to return to class, until the balance is paid in full. There is also a $50 returned check fee for all returned checks. There are no refunds for missed classes or dropping without notice. Tuition is non-refundable and non-transferable.
You can find all tuition and fee information in the Studio Handbook.
All fees are listed in our Studio Handbook. There is an annual $60 registration fee per dancer (maximum of $120 per family). There is also a $100 costume fee per class. Be sure to see the Studio Handbook for more details.
Planet Dance abides by the Berkeley County School District (BCSD) for severe weather closures. If BCSD announces school closure due to weather, Planet Dance will also be closed for all classes that day. We will inform all families via email, and a post to social media by 2pm, for all afternoon and evening classes.
We also follow the BCSD Instructional Calendar for holidays and breaks (not including MLK Day and President’s Day).
All closures and events are notated in our Studio Handbook.
Planet Dance will have two Recitals each year, at the conclusion of each semester. For our students in levels 1-4, they will only perform in the Spring Recital. There will be a mandatory Dress Rehearsal the day before the Recital, giving dancers the opportunity to perform all of their routines on stage, before performing them live in front of an audience. Dress Rehearsal is mandatory for all dancers performing in the Recital.
All students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Recital. If your dancer does not wish to participate in the Recital, please contact the director by March 6th, in order to avoid costume fees. If a student withdrawals after this date, they are still responsible for all costume fees associated with their account, regardless of participation.
Yes! If your dancer is looking to take their training to the next level, while having more opportunities to perform, then the competition team is the perfect fit for your student. Dancers must be at least 6 years old, with at least one year of dance training, to audition. Auditions are held in July of each year. For more information, click here.
Your dancer may withdraw anytime during the year, by the 25th of the month. If a dancer chooses to withdraw after the 25th of the month, they will still be responsible for the following month's tuition. If a student withdrawals after March 6th, they are still responsible for all costume fees associated with their account.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We only accept withdrawal notices via our online portal or email. Phone calls and verbal withdrawals will not be honored. We do not issue pro-rated refunds for any unused tuition or classes.
