Tuition is monthly and remains the same regardless of the number of classes in the month.
Payment Method: Only automatic credit card payments are accepted. Cash and checks are not accepted.
Due Date: Tuition is due on the 1st of each month. Payments not received by 6pm on the 5th will be considered late.
Late Fees: If your payment is declined, you will be notified via email. Please update your card before the 5th to avoid a $15 late fee.
For billing questions, contact: admin@tdcoflosgatos.com.

To change classes, email admin@tdcoflosgatos.com. If space is available, your dancer can switch the following week.
No refunds after the first class.
Withdrawal: To withdraw from classes, email admin@tdcoflosgatos.com at least 2 weeks before the month you want to withdraw. If proper notice is not given, you will be charged for that month.
Missed Classes: There are no refunds or discounts for missed classes.
If you withdraw and later re-enroll in the same season, a $25 re-registration fee will apply.
Class Cancellations: If a class is canceled due to low enrollment, you will receive a full refund if no alternate class is available.

Consistent attendance is required for optimal progress.
Attire: Proper dance attire is required. Hair should be in a bun for ballet and a ponytail for other classes.
Arrival: Arrive 10 minutes early. Dancers more than 15 minutes late may have their participation evaluated by the instructor.
No food, drinks, or gum in the studio or lobby (water is allowed).
Make-up Classes: Due to limited space, make-ups are not offered.
If a teacher misses a class and no substitute is found, the class will be rescheduled.

Recital: TDC holds an end-of-year recital (usually mid-June). All dancers participate, and 99% of them love performing with their classmates! Participation is optional.
Costumes: Ordered in February and delivered in spring. Charges apply in early March. No refunds after the March deadline.
Class Lock-In: Classes are "locked" in February to prepare for recital, so no changes after this time.
If you choose not to participate, notify the studio before the costume deadline.

Dancers and parents are expected to show respect and courtesy to all instructors and students.
Positive behavior: Dancers should be encouraging and supportive of one another.
Social Media: Dancers must refrain from using social media or texting to bully, gossip, or embarrass others. Inappropriate language or harmful photos are not allowed.

TDC maintains a Closed Door Policy during all classes to help students stay focused without distractions from parents, siblings, or friends.
Parents and observers may watch classes only during the first week of each month through the lobby viewing windows, provided it does not disrupt the class.
Only teachers and students are allowed inside the studio classrooms—no parents or visitors are permitted.
