Registration
Our dance registration fee is an annual nonrefundable fee. The fee guarantees your place in a class and covers the administrative costs associated with your enrollment. All students registered are registered for our entire season, or from their time of enrollment to the end of the season. Class registration is on a first come, first served basis.
Important Policies
-
Registration does not carry over into the Summer Session OR the next School Season.
-
Classes will be closed when capacity is reached.
-
If a class has low enrollment it may be cancelled. In this case, we will work with you to find a suitable alternative. If no other class will work, we will offer a refund or credit for the cancelled class.
-
There are no registration fees for Theater, Art Sessions, or for Summer Day Camps.
-
The registration fee is nonrefundable.
-
Any student who drops all classes and then wishes to re-enroll within the same dance year will be charged the $25 registration fee again at the time of re-enrollment.

Tuition Discounts
-
Semester payments are given a 5% discount, rounded down.
-
Year payments are given a 10% discount
These discounts are only for those paying for, and completing, a full year or semester. If you terminate before the end of the season or session, your discount is no longer valid. Your tuition will be recalculated at the regular price before a refund is issued.
MDSA’s Recital Payment Plan
When a student signs up for a class, the recital fee will immediately be added to the account. Families can pay a full or partial payment towards the recital fee at any time from the first day of registering, until January 15th. On January 15th of each year, any unpaid recital fees will be automatically drafted via the card on file.
All students need a card on file that would only be charged in three situations:
-
When MDSA is told to do so by the card holder.
-
On January 15th of each year if enrolled in a recital class, and only if there is an outstanding
recital-fee.
-
The 3rd week of May, if there are any unpaid tuition or late fees on the account.
Important Details
The Recital Payment Plan is for your benefit, offering the opportunity to make smaller payments, at your convenience, towards this expense. Although you are required to have a card on file to be a student at The Moriah Davis School of the Arts, you are not required to use the Recital Payment Plan.
It is important that you understand that all payments made towards your recital fees are non-refundable. If you quit before the end of the year, funds will not be refunded, and the costume(s) will be forfeited. If there is a chance your dancer will not be in recital, you will want to wait until January to make your recital payment.
-
Opting out of recital is easy to do but must be done in writing, via signed letter or via email to mdsaoffice@gmail.com with the subject line: Recital by January 1st. When we are informed of your recital intentions, no later than January 1st, we will go to your account and remove the recital charge if you have opted out.
-
The recital fee for the 23/24 dance season will be $110 for your first class, with additional classes each having a costume fee of $65.
-
Senior Ballet is the exception. The office will send an email to Senior Ballet families regarding the costume fee for Senior Ballet each year. Ballet costumes are more expensive than other costumes.
Late Fees
Dance Tuition is due on the 1st of the month and late after the 7th.
Payments made after the 7th of the month will incur a $10 late fee per family.
Trials & Drop Ins
Each student gets 1 free trial class each school year. After that, there is a $15 drop in fee if the student is not registered for the class.
How do I try a class?
-
Check our schedule to find the class you would like to try.
-
Call, email, or message over social media 24 hours before the class time.
-
This is to ensure there is room in the class for your student to try.
-
The class needs to be the proper age and level for the student.
-
All classes are based on availability and class openings.
-
Come with a water bottle and dressed appropriately for the class.
-
Arrive 5-10 minutes early. Our staff will help you fill out a liability waiver, direct you to your class and introduce you to your teacher! Staff can be found at the front desk or the office past the Shoppe at MDSA.
Autopay
You have the option to pay tuition through Autopay which will draft the payment on the 1st of each month. This payment method lends the peace of mind that tuition has been paid on time and no late fees will be assessed.
Please notify us if your credit card information has changed or your card has expired. Autopay payments that are declined will incur a $5.00 fee.
You are responsible for removing yourself from the autopay system. If you no longer wish to use autopay, you need to login into your Parent Portal to manage your preferences. Alternatively, you can email mdsaoffice@gmail.com and request to have autopay stopped.
