Registration for new and existing students requires three documents to be completed and signed. These forms are available in the studio or can be downloaded through the link at the right of this page. Tuition for the first session along with an annual $25 registration fee per dancer is due with the completed forms. For sessions 2 through 5, tuition will be due before the first day of the new session.

The Inspire dance year consists of five payment sessions, starting on August 17th and working towards recital on Sunday, June 27th. A student may enroll at any time during a session, as long as there is an opening in the desired class. We will prorate tuition accordingly. We will gladly accept new students into open classes through the month of December. Afterwards, registration will be closed for the remainder of the dance year.

Once a student is registered in a class, they will maintain their enrollment in future sessions. Payment will be due with each new session, but the re-enrollment process is not required. Should a dancer wish to discontinue a class, written notification is required.   Please read the “Notification of Termination” information located in our handbook to avoid any unwanted charges to your account. If written notification is not received, you will be responsible for tuition regardless of attendance. 

Note: We regret that we will be unable to accept registration from any student that is a member of a competing dance company or performing company that is not affiliated with Inspire School of Dance. Students of High School groups such as poms, cheer or orchesis are welcome.

Tuition Details:

A guaranteed credit card is required for enrollment at Inspire. There will be a $15 fee charged for any credit card that is not kept current with the office. This includes invalid cards, declined cards, expiration date changes, credit card replacements and bank account changes.

Tuition must be paid in full on or before the due date. If tuition is not paid in full before the next session begins, your credit card on file will be charged for your tuition amount.  In addition, we will assess a $15.00 late charge.

Each session may have days that the studio is closed resulting in a reduction of your tuition. Please verify your tuition amount due before sending in any checks. 

Tuition is non-refundable. (*Please note Notification of Termination).

Registration is only valid if all 3 forms are signed and completed. This includes the Credit Card Authorization form.

There will be a $30 fee for any returned check due to insufficient funds.

Remaining current in all tuition payments is necessary to maintain your place in class.


Automatic Billing Option

When registering, you may choose to have your tuition payments applied to your credit card automatically. For families that choose to use our automatic billing procedure, tuition will be billed to your credit card on the day before the new session starts.


Notification of Termination:

Notification of termination of enrollment must be made prior to the last day of the current session, and must be noted in writing and turned in to the office. If this process is not completed, your card on file will be charged on the day after tuition is due.  Emails and faxes can be accepted. However, receipt of the email or fax must be confirmed by an office staff member. Because something was sent, does not imply that it was received.  We appreciate your understanding of this policy. 


Class Placement:

We want to place each individual in a class that is best suited for them, regardless of age. Therefore, class placement will be made primarily in regards to individual ability and is determined by the class teacher and school director. The first two weeks of the dance season are used to verify placement in each class. During this time, we will move dancers to the proper class if they have not been properly placed.


Absence/Make-up Classes:

If your child will be absent from class, please call and inform the office. Classes can be made up in any similar class, within the same session as class missed. There will be no refunds for missed classes. For suggestions of which make up classes would best suit, please feel free to ask your teacher. Call ahead to schedule your make-up class.  There is a limited number of spaces available in each class.
