COMPANY CLASS TUITION AND FEES

2024-2025 SEASON TUITION

Information on this page is for the dance season beginning September 2024.

Company tuition is due for the entire year regardless of month of enrollment or absences.

Tuition can be broken down into monthly installments. If choosing to pay in installments, each payment is due by the 7th of every month before late fees accrue. See information on late fees below.

Tuition can be paid by cash, check, Venmo, PayPal or credit card. If you’d like to set up automatic payments, please contact us by August 31. You can also turn in post-dated checks for the entire season that will be deposited on the first of each month. There is a discount when paying by cash or check.

GCDC grows through your referrals! As a thank you, you will receive a $10 studio cash card for each new family referral that finishes the dance season. The new family must list you, on their registration form, as the one that referred them.

The studio cash card can be used on any GCDC expenses from snacks and water bottles to tuition and fees. The card expires the following September after being issued and will not be replaced if lost. Studio cash cards can not be redeemed for cash.
