MCDA uses a monthly auto-pay system. Once you enroll tuition is auto-charged on the 1st of the month. If you enroll after the start date, tuition is prorated for classes you may have missed.
Dancers who are not feeling well are encouraged to stay home until they are fever-free for 24 hours and no longer have symptoms that would be contagious. Once a dancer is feeling better, they may schedule a make-up class in the same level of dance at your earliest convenience.
If a dancer is injured, we strongly encourage them to come to class and watch. This allows them to take notes, see their friends, and continue learning. Once the dance is released to move and groove, they may schedule make-up classes in the same level of dance at their earliest convenience.
Thirty-four(34) weeks starting in the fall and concluding with the spring recital.
Summer Session is 6- weeks in June and July.
The MCDA dance program setup is around a 34-week curriculum that runs from August 2023 to May 2024. Once you are enrolled that spot is reserved for you for the duration of the season. All missed classes can be made up in a comparable or lower-level class. Credits or refunds will not be given for dropped or missed classes. If you are dismissed for un-sportsman-like behavior by the dancer or parent, no refund or credit will be given. In cases of moving or medical emergency, credit may be given upon receipt of a doctor’s certificate. Adjustments are made by number of classes taken vs. number of classes remaining in the season. If a student needs to drop (i.e., illness or moving) written notification is required prior to the 5th of the month.
