Tuition & Payment Options

Gulfshore Ballet offers rolling/ongoing enrollment and is a Tuition based school. Please note that if you enroll your student closer to performance dates they may not be able to participate in the shows as rehearsals will already be underway and casting complete.

Tuition payments are per Semester (4 months for each Semester, 2 Semesters in each Season) and non refundable for Levels 1-Pre Pro. Legitimate medical reasons that prevent a Student from dancing will be evaluated on a case by case basis and will usually result in a student receiving a credit to their account.

When you enroll you are enrolling for an entire Semester, not on a monthly basis, with the exception of Baby Ballerinas, Pre Ballet 1,2,3 and Adult Ballet.

There are four payment options for the 2023-2024 School Year.

As a courtesy to our families and students, we offer the option of allowing you to spread the payments over 4 months during the course of each Semester. Tuition is generally due by the 5th of the month, except for August which are due prior to the 1st day of classes.

With the 4 Payment Plan option, payments for First Semester are due in August, September, October and November with no payment due in December. Second Semester payments are due in January, February, March and April with no payment due in May.

Late Fees will be assessed after Tuition due dates if payment is not received. Students who have not paid tuition by the due date in any given month may not be allowed to attend classes/rehearsals/shows until tuition is paid and brought current.

All students must create an account, register online, accept all waivers and pay all registration and tuition payments before they attend class.
