MDC Policies
Registration & Enrollment
The studio Season Thirteen runs from August 31st, 2026 - June 12th, 2027.
All studio communications, including importance announcements, schedules, invoices, & policy updates, are sent via email. Families are responsible for maintaining a current email address on file & for reviewing studio communications in a timely manner.
New students may enroll at any time from September through March, subject to class availability.
Registration fees are non-refundable.
Tuition & Financial Policies
Tuition is based on enrollment for the entire season & is divided into ten equal monthly payments. As a result, monthly tuition remains the same from September through June, regardless of the number of classes held in any given month, including months affected by holidays, scheduled breaks, or studio closures.
Tuition & all other fees are due on the 1st of each month. Payments not received by the close of business on the 5th of the month will incur a late fee equal to the greater of $35 or 10% of the outstanding balance.
Momentum Dance Company requires all families to maintain two forms of payment on file: (1) a valid checking account for electronic bank draft (ACH) payments & (2) a valid credit or debit card. These payment methods must remain current throughout the season, regardless of the payment method typically used by the family, including Venmo.
Our preferred method of payment is electronic bank draft (ACH). To add or update your bank account information, log in to your Parent Portal & select Billing & Payments. Please contact the studio office if you need assistance.
We accept electronic bank draft (ACH), all major credit & debit cards, & Venmo. Payments made by credit or debit card are subject to a 5% processing fee. To avoid this fee, we encourage families to pay by electronic bank draft.
Families who choose to pay by Venmo are responsible for ensuring payment is received on time. If payment has not been received by the close of business of the 5th of the month, the applicable late fee will be assessed, & Momentum Dance Company reserves the right to charge the credit or debit card on file for the outstanding balance. Any applicable credit card processing fees will also be added to the account.
A $50 fee will be assessed for any returned check or rejected bank draft. Momentum Dance Company Reserves the right to charge the secondary payment method on file if a payment is declined or any account becomes past due.
Withdrawal Policy
If you choose to withdraw from Momentum Dance Company, a minimum of 30 days' written notice is required. Tuition & fees remain responsibility of the account holder during the notice period.
Upon completion of the notice period, families are not responsible for tuition payments for the remainder of the season.
