Tuition is due on the 1st of every month. Payments are considered late after the 7th. Payments made after the 7th of the month will incur a $10 late fee per family.

At the end of the Regular season, the card on file will be charged on May 15th for any remaining fees.

• We gladly accept cash, check, and all major credit cards.

• Be sure the name of the student(s) and what the payment covers is written clearly on all checks made out to MDSA or MDSA Foundation.

• There will be a $30.00 charge for each returned check. Repayment in cash, money order, or credit card, with the $30 service charge included, will be required within three days of notification.

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. 

Tuition Discounts

• Semester payments are given a 5% discount.

• 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 If you terminate before the end of the season or session, your discount is no longer valid.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.

Prorating

Tuition is not transferable to the preceding or following month, or to a different student. If a student enrolls after the beginning of the month, tuition will be adjusted for the remaining classes.

​

Family Special

Families with multiple students that take between 10 to 15 hours per week qualify for this Family Special.

• Regular registration fees and recital/costume fees still apply.

• Family Special Prices do not reflect the $25 registration fee.    

• The Family Special is available to families who wish to enroll multiple legal dependents from the same household into dance classes at The Moriah Davis School of the Arts.

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 Registration 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.

• At the end of the Regular season, the card on file will be charged on May 15th for any remaining fees.

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:

1. When MDSA is told to do so by the card holder.

2. On January 15th of each year if enrolled in a recital class, and only if there is an outstanding recital-fee.

3. The 3rd week of May, if there are any unpaid tuition or late fees on the account. 

​

To participate in recital, all participants must have a zero balance or a payment agreement with the office.

​

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 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.

Try a Class for Free! We're excited to offer limited number of free trial classes in select classes that still have space! Free trial classes are available only for classes students have not yet tried or enrolled in before. After that, there is a $15 drop in fee if the student is not registered for the class.

• This offer is intended for new students to that specific class, so if your dancer has already attended this class in the past (either this season or previously), we kindly ask that you sit this one out. But we'd love to have you try something new so contact the office for help in choosing!

​

How do I try a class?

1. Check our schedule to find the class you would like to try.

2. 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.

3. Come with a water bottle and dressed appropriately for the class. 

4. 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.

​

Make up policy August through December

If a student misses a class due to illness or conflict, we ask the parent to email mdsaoffice@gmail.com to request their make up class option(s). All missed classes must be made up within 2 weeks of the missed class. There is a limit of 3 make-up classes per dance season. Make-up classes are available to be completed at the student's level or below only. Make up policy January 1st through Recital Weekend

We do not offer makeup classes after January 1st, as classes will be preparing for recital. Tuition payments are not prorated for missed classes.

Withdrawing Refunds for Bulk Payments

• Semester payments are given a 5% discount, rounded down.

All students registered with The Moriah Davis School of the Arts, also known as MDSA, are registered for our entire season which lasts from the time of enrollment through May 31st of the recital year.

For Summer Session, enrollment lasts from your start day to the final day of the session. Summer Session is usually 8 weeks in length. 

Simply not showing up to class does not cancel your child’s registration. Parents or guardians are responsible for tuition payments and late fees until the MDSA Class Withdrawal process is complete, regardless of attendance.

• We do not charge any withdrawal fees.

• Withdrawing from a class must be done with a 15-day advance written notice prior to the month in which you would like to withdraw. 

• For example, if you plan to make January your last month, you must inform us in writing by January 16th so that you do not get charged for February. We hope you will continue to dance with us for the reminder of the month after the form is submitted. 

• There are no refunds or credits for any classes a student chooses not to attend following the successful submission of the MDSA Class Withdrawal Form. 

• Print the form or pick up a copy at the studio, complete and sign it, then drop it off in person or email to mdsaoffice@gmail.com.

• You will receive a confirmation email at the receipt of your form. If you do not receive the confirmation email, please contact the MDSA office at 832-447-9532 ASAP, as the form submission may not have been successful.
