What Are the Class Fees?

We strive to provide quality dance instruction for a reasonable price. There is a one time registration fee, per show costume fee, and monthly class fee.

Registration: A $25 registration fee is required to enroll each student for the first time. There is a $40 maximum registration fee per family.

Classes: The first month’s payment is due on the first day of class for the student (This would include partial month payments if beginning mid-month). Following this first payment it is the parent/guardian responsibility for paying the monthly class fee by the 1st of each month. There will be a $20 late fee added after the 15th of the month. If a payment plan or specific accommodations are needed, please reach out to The Oaks Dance Studio. Individual payment plans are a possibility but not guaranteed. A 30 day cancellation notice in email, text, or writing is required to withdraw from classes and the associated payment. During those 30 days the student may continue to come to class until the end of the 30 day payment. The pricing structure is based on the amount of classes taken by the student as shown below.

Pricing:

5 hrs a week - $8 an hr ($160 a month)

4 hrs a week - $8 an hr ($128 a month)

3 hrs a week - $10 an hr ($120 a month)

2 hrs a week - 12 an hr ($96 a month

1 hr a week - $13 an hr ($52 a month)

30 minutes a week - $7 a class ($28 a month)

Costumes:

Costumes cost between $25-$75 due a month before the show . We strive to keep costume prices low for parents and will inform parents of the exact price as soon as possible. Renting a costume for a lower price is sometimes possible.

Is My Child Ready for Dance Classes?

This is a very personal question as each child and their needs are so unique. Dance classes can play a major role in developing learning skills, confidence, self worth, teamwork, dedication, and passion! These lessons can best be learned when a child starts at the right time and pace for them. Here's 3 things I would consider to see if my child is ready.

Desire: The more desire that your child has to dance, the more ready they are for the challenge. Take note of how often they dance to music or bring up being a dancer. Ask if they're willing to practice at home if you sign them up for classes. The more excited and consistent they are, the more ready they are to join a class!
Listening Abilities: Taking a dance class teaches students to listen and follow a teacher. This helps them try new things and become stronger as a dancer and person. Though they learn this skill over time it's important to have a base to start from. If your child is able to listen and follow you as a parent to do simple things at home they are probably ready to learn and apply things from class! Things like putting away toys when asked or wanting to do what you do shows that they are ready to learn more! The better they accept feedback and try new things on their own the more ready they are for a dance class.
Class Plan: Some kids are ready to jump into 5+ hrs of dance a week and absolutely love every second! Other kids completely enjoy having a casual hr long class every week. The class genres and amount of classes a student takes is completely individual and will set the stage for how much they learn and grow! Consider how introverted or extroverted your child is. Consider whether they prefer scheduled events or spontaneous play dates with friends. There are a wide variety of options so reach out to the dance studio owner or instructor to discuss the intensity of classes and which classes would be best for your child. Classes can always be adjusted but starting your child in a class they love at a good level for them sets them up for the most success! Bring up your child's personality and what classes most interest them! You can call Oakley at (801) 361-67000 or set up a time to talk with her in person about your child's needs.
