Performance Opportunities
Parents and relatives of all students enrolled in the MDT's program will enjoy watching their dancers in our professional, optional annual recital; complete with age appropriate movement and costumes.
Tuition
Tuition can be paid in one of the following ways: a) entire year in full, due at registration, b) monthly, charged the first day of each month from September-June. If you choose the full-year payments, you will receive a discounted rate. If you opt to pay the entire season in full prior to August 10, 2024, you will receive a 5% discount. Please note: If you pay your dancer's tuition for the full year and then withdraw from classes for any reason (loss of interest, school obligations, injury, illness, etc.), a 30% penalty will be applied to your refund for the remainder of the year. We suggest you only pay the year in full if you are 100% confident your dancer will participate fully in the entire season. However, if you drop a class at any time, there will be no refund. If you are unsure of your commitment to a particular class, you should choose the 10 month payment plan. Tuition is not based on the number of classes in a month or on attendance.
1.) All tuition shall be paid in MONTHLY installments through auto-pay on a credit/debit card, September - June.
2.) First month's installment plus student registration fee ($50 per student, $40 for each additional sibling) is due upon Registration to secure class placement. These fees are non-refundable.
3.) Tuition is due on the 1st of the month and must be paid by the 10th of the month.
4.) A $10 late fee will be assessed on the 15th.
5.) A $10 fee will be applied to all declined credit cards and a $25 fee for NSF checks.
