Recital Fee: We charge one $20.00 recital fee per dancer per type of dance class they have enrolled in.  For example if Jennifer is enrolled in Ballet and Modern for the Dance Season, then $40.00 of Recital Fees will be added to her statement.  This fee helps to offset expenses such as: venue, fabric, sets, props, and rentals for the year end performance.  

We do not charge families for costumes.  Costumes belong to The Dance Academy.


Fundraising Fee:  We are a non-profit organization.  Our expenses include such things as: rent, heat, hydro, water, insurance, advertising, teacher's salaries, and everything needed to put on our year end performance (i.e. facility rental, technical support, stage equipment, etc.).  Our fees do not cover all our expenses, therefore, in addition to class and recital fees, a fundraising amount of $75.00 will be added to each family's statement. No matter how many children in one family are dancing and no matter how many classes they are taking, there is only one $75.00 fundraising fee applied to the family's statement. 

We will provide several fundraising opportunities throughout the year to help families raise the fundraising amount, or each family may choose to pay the fundraising amount on its own. 

90% of the profit you bring in from these fundraisers will be first deducted from your fundraising amount and once your fundraising amount has been eliminated then the 90% of the profit will be deducted from your remaining fee balance.
