Tuition & Payment Options

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 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 5 month Semester, not on a monthly basis, with the exception of Creative Dance, Baby Ballerinas, Pre Ballet 1,2,3 and Adult Ballet.

Payment Options for our Semesters

Each Semester runs for 5 months (18 weeks) but as a courtesy to our families and students we offer 4 installment payments, allowing you to spread the payments over 4 months during the course of each semester.

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.

Tuition is generally due by the 5th of the month, except for August and January, the new Semester start months, and are usually due at least a week or more prior to the 1st day of classes.

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.

Outstanding Balances

For Students with outstanding balances for Tuition, Private Lessons, Open Classes or Studio Store purchases, we will charge the payment method on file to bring the account current.

All accounts must be bought current before your student can enroll and take classes or participate in performances.

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