TUITION + RATES
Tuition rates remain unchanged for the 2026/2027 school year. We continue to offer tuition discounts, including family discounts, multiple-class discounts, and scholarships for students who require financial assistance.
Students will receive a discount for taking multiple classes each session. As students add a class to their schedule, they receive an additional 5% off, up to a maximum of 15% off. The School of Spectrum Dance Theater also offers a 5% sibling discount for families with multiple students enrolled. These discounts do not apply to the registration fee or late fees.
Tuition and fees are non-refundable. If a student must withdraw from a class due to medical reasons, the School of Spectrum Dance Theater will offer a credit on future tuition if the student has a note from a licensed practitioner.

Fall Session: September 15, October 15, November 15, and December 15

Students who enroll after a Monthly Payment due date will have their first payment manually processed and prorated, with all future payments following the remaining Monthly Payment Plan dates.
Gift of Dance Scholarships
We award Gift of Dance Scholarships to students based on the following guidelines:
Financial need
The student’s desire to dance
Requirements for participating in the Gift of Dance Scholarship program are as follows:
Consistent attendance.
Punctual arrival at class.
Respectful behavior is expected both inside and outside the studio.
The Gift of Dance Scholarship offers financial aid to students between the ages of 2 and 22 who desire to dance and can demonstrate financial need. We distribute these scholarships on a first-come, first-served basis. If funds become limited, students will be placed on a waiting list until they become available.
If students violate these requirements, including excessive unexcused absences, tardiness to class, or inappropriate behavior, they will forfeit their scholarship.
Additionally, parents/guardians of Gift of Dance Scholarship recipients are required to volunteer for at least 15 hours per semester. Families may volunteer hours by assisting at the studio when needed, such as providing support for school-related events, working at the box office, working backstage at a performance, or providing pro bono services if relevant to The School of Spectrum Dance Theater’s needs.
If you have any questions regarding the Gift of Dance Scholarship, the applications, or the requirements, please contact the School Director. You may access the application link by clicking here.
If a student does not meet the Gift of Dance Scholarship requirements, parents/guardians are encouraged to sign up for work‐study in the studio in exchange for reduced tuition. Families participating in work-study are required to volunteer for at least 30 hours per session.
