Tuition & Policies
A yearly registration fee, then one season price based on your dancer's weekly hours — recital costume included — split into nine monthly payments. Ask us for current rates.
Four things to know
-
One season price, nine monthly payments
Tuition is the total cost of the September–June season, based on how many hours of class your dancer takes each week. It's split into nine equal monthly payments, due at the first class of each month — so it doesn't depend on how many classes fall in a given month.
-
Recital costumes are included
Recital costume fees are built into tuition and based on your dancer's weekly class hours, so there's no separate costume bill in the spring. Each dancer also pays a yearly registration fee.
-
Current rates: ask us
We share the current tuition chart when you call, message, or visit — and we'll help you figure out exactly what your dancer's schedule would cost before you commit to anything.

Start any time
Enrollment is open year-round. If a class has room and fits your dancer, they can start — call the studio and we'll explain how tuition works for a mid-season start.
Get current rates
Tell us your dancer's age and the classes they're interested in and we'll send the current tuition for that schedule — one class a week, a few, or a full team load.

The fine print, in plain English
When is tuition due?
Payments are due at the first class of each month. A late fee is added to tuition not paid by the 10th of the month, and there is a service charge for returned checks.
Tuition is due for every month of the session. If your dancer can't attend some months, those months are still due — make-up classes are available for missed classes.
All money owed to the studio must be paid in full by May 15, 2027 for a dancer to take part in the recital. The studio accepts cash, checks and Visa, Mastercard and Discover.
How does open enrollment work?
Woodbridge School of Dance enrolls year-round. If a class has room and fits your dancer's age and level, they can start. Register online or contact the studio and we'll place your dancer in the right class.
What if we miss a class?
Make-up classes are available for classes missed because of student illness, snow cancellations, and studio holidays: Halloween, Thanksgiving weekend (Thursday–Sunday), winter recess (Christmas Eve through New Year's Day), Easter weekend (Friday–Sunday) and Memorial Day weekend (Saturday–Monday).
Credit is given only for classes canceled because of a teacher's absence.
What happens on snow days?
The studio follows Woodbridge Township school closings. Saturday classes are canceled if there's more than an inch of snow. If you're unsure, call the studio. Make-up classes are available.
Can a class be canceled?
Classes need at least five dancers. Any class with fewer than five dancers is canceled by December 1, and we'll help those dancers find another class that fits. Classes also need at least five participating dancers to perform in the recital.
Is the recital required?
No — the June recital is optional, and every dancer is invited to take part.
For dancers not participating in the recital, classes finish at the end of April.
How do recital costumes work?
Costume fees are included in tuition. Costumes are ordered in December, and you can request a refund on a costume order up until the order is placed. Orders placed after December 1 carry a per-costume shipping fee so the costume arrives in time for the recital.
Recital tickets and rehearsal
Everyone attending the recital needs a ticket except the dancer. On rehearsal night, one parent is admitted with each dancer; anyone else needs a ticket. Ask the office for the estimated ticket cost before deciding to participate. No video or flash photography is permitted at the recital.
Class photos
Some photos of classes may be used in studio publications and advertising during the year. Students' names are never posted with the pictures.
Class rules
Dancers come to class in the dress code for their age (see the dress code). No gum chewing or jewelry in class.
