TUITION + RATES

Tuition rates remain unchanged for the 2025/2026 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.

  • Registration for Fall and Spring sessions will open on August 4 and December 8, during the last week of classes in 2025. There is a one-time registration fee of $20 per student. 

    Class enrollment is rolling until a class has reached its maximum student number. Students should register for their classes by the first week of the Spring Session, which is the week of January 24th, if they wish to participate in the All-School Demonstration. The School Director and class instructor may opt to halt registration for a specific class at any point. School administration may cancel a class if it has fewer than six students enrolled by November 15th

  • For Full-Session dance classes, we do have a cut-off date for new students; however, we do offer a variety of drop-in classes for teens and adults!

  • When a student misses class, it impacts the student and the class as a whole. Poor attendance may affect the student’s advancement to the next level, participation in the All School Demonstration, and continuation in that class. If an absence must occur, please contact the front desk at 206-325-4161 and staff@spectrumdance.org.

    We are implementing the following guidelines for unexcused absences:

    After two unexcused absences within a session, the School of Spectrum Dance Theater will notify the parent/guardian and issue a warning that their student has only one unexcused absence left.

    After the third unexcused absence, the student will automatically be removed from the end-of-year All School Demonstration. There is a possibility of a production fee refund.

    We will provide a refund/class credit for the absences that are validated as excused. i.e, if a licensed practitioner’s medical note is presented.

  • While we recognize that delays are unavoidable occasionally, arrival to class beyond 10 minutes is cause for injury and a disruption to the class. If you know your student will be late to class, please notify the front desk at 206-325-4161 and staff@spectrumdance.org.

    It is left to the instructor’s discretion whether or not to admit late arrivals into class. We may ask late students to sit, observe the class, and take notes. Repeated tardiness is subject to a meeting with the School Director and instructor.

  • Students are no longer permitted to use the conference room unless specified. Students are required to change and encouraged to store their belongings in the locker rooms.

    Lockers are available for this purpose. We do not provide locks. Personal items may not be left overnight. A new area will be designated as a student lounge for those with multiple classes in one day.

    Parents and guardians may use the conference room for work purposes while waiting for their student. Please request access with our desk team.

  • Please reference the 2025/26 SSDT Handbook for more information regarding dress code, safety and conduct policiesm as well as pricing and our Gift of Dance Scholarship.
