We don’t believe you should ever pay for a class you don’t attend.  The Center for Contemporary Dance, therefore, does not randomly make use of a monthly tuition systems or contracts.  Only students in the Pre-Professional Program, who are required to attend a pre-determined number of class hours each semester, pay a monthly tuition. All other students participate in The Center’s affordable pay-as-you-go tuition system.  

Students may pay per class, but most take advantage of packaged sessions wherein a number of class hours are purchased upfront and deducted from Dance Cards as students attend class.  Package sessions offer the benefit of a lower per class rate and unused sessions simply rollover to the next month until the (generous) expiration date is reached.  Students who must take an extended hiatus (3 or more weeks) from dance may freeze their Dance Card account, so that time away from The Center doesn’t count towards the expiration period.

Also, you’ll never run into ‘surprise’ fees for anything.  Students who participate in the semester-end concert are not charged costume or venue fees.  The Center’s student showcases are not recitals, but rather an artistic presentation of new work developed by students (all ages and levels) interested in learning more about creative process and the production of concert-level dance.  Elaborate costumes, therefore, are not required for concert presentations; students make use of simple black dancewear allowing the movement to stand on its own.

Please take a moment to review the below tuition schedule, including links to register for classes online.   And be sure to check out these online specials.  Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.  We’re happy to help.
