Enrollment, Payments and Tuition

 Enrollment

Enrollment for classes is on a first-come, first-served basis, and reserves the dancer's place in that class.  NEW! Currently enrolled students will have a chance to register in advance or the general public, with PRIORITY ENROLLMENT (except for the summer workshops).

New students are accepted throughout the semester on a prorated basis.  If a class is full, Class Card holders will not be able to dance – only enrolled students, who have reserved their spot.

Tuition for the Young Children, Youth and Teen Recreational and Adult Divisions is based on a 20-week semester.  If you are enrolling in more than 3 classes per week as an individual or family, we offer a family/multiple class discount (if enrollments are received by the published deadlines and are for the entire semester).  Enrollment forms for all returning students should be postmarked by one week prior to the beginning of the semester to avoid a late fee of $25.

Young, Youth, Teen and Pre-Professional Division students must enroll for their semester classes. Students age 15 and above may take adult classes (except for Adult Jazz). 

Open Registration for Fall 2010 Begins:        July 2, 2010                                           

Tuition

If you are registering for one class per week, tuition is due in full upon registration.

If you are registering for two or more classes per week (except Junior, Senior and Conservatory Divisions), tuition may be paid in installments (monthly or in 2 installments) with the 1st due upon registration. 

For Junior, Senior and Conservatory Divisions, payments can be made in full or in installments (monthly or in 4 installments) with the 1st due upon registration.  Students are responsible for any additional tuition resulting from switching to a higher-tuition class and no refunds are provided from switching to a lower-tuition class. 

 Payment Methods

We accept cash, checks, or credit cards (VISA and MasterCard).  Print out the enrollment form and either mail it, fax it (on our secure fax line, 703-778-3016) or email as an attachment to admin@BalletNova.org.

Enrollment form is accepted and processed only after payment is made (so if you email or fax yours in, send a check immediately, or note your credit card number on the form for fastest processing).
