norma’s academy of dance
tuition structure
Tuition is based on an entire season of dance (August 11, 2025 – June 6, 2026) with an average of 35 classes per season.
Yearly tuition fees are broken down into 10 monthly installments (August-May) charged to the card on file on the first of each month.
Tuition is non-refundable and it is not based on the number of classes in a month or on student’s attendance in their classes.
Families enrolling mid-season will be prorated from their start date.
Tuition is calculated to reflect scheduled studio holidays, so these closures are already accounted for in the season tuition rate. Our calendar generally follows the Fulton County & Fayette County School Systems.
Make-up classes are not offered for absences due to illness, travel, school obligations, injuries, or other personal commitments.
Payment Options
1. Monthly: Tuition payments are due on the 1st of each month.
2. Annual (5% discount w/this option): Payment due at time of registration. If you would like to submit an annual tuition payment, you must leave a note on your registration form so we can adjust your payment amount.
Annual Registration Fee (per dancer)
1st student in family - $40.00
Each additional student in family - $25.00
Payment Policies
Initial Payment: At the time of registration, the annual registration fee of $40 (1st student in family)/$25 (each additional student in family) plus the first monthly installment are due to secure your student’s space in class. Upon registering, our system will immediately process your registration fee. Our administrative team will then review your registration and process the remaining tuition balance to the card on file within 48 hours. This payment is non-refundable. If we are unable to process the payment, your student will be dropped from their enrolled class(es). We cannot hold a student's space in class without payment.
Registration Fee: The 2025-2026 registration fee is valid through June 6, 2026.
Monthly Installments: All accounts will be automatically charged on the 1st of the month towards tuition, Aug-May.
Payment Methods: We accept the following methods of payments: credit/debit card payments via parent portal and automatic payments (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express). No Cash or Checks. In order to register your dancer, a valid form of payment must be linked to your DSP Parent Portal account.
Tuition Late Fee: If your card on file is declined, an alternate payment must be made within 48 hours. A $20 late fee will be assessed for any payments not made in full by the 5th of the month. This includes declined charges for cards on file for any reason. Payment must be received by the 10th of the month in order for your student to attend class. If your account becomes past due, your dancer will not be permitted to attend class until your balance is paid in full.
Payment Processing: All monthly tuition payments, registration fees, concert fees, and concert balances will be auto-drafted to the card on file. You will be emailed a receipt after each transaction is auto-drafted.
Accounts: You will NOT receive monthly billing statements or invoices. You are responsible for staying up to date with your account balances via the parent portal.
Annual Tuition: You may pay the entire season in full or pay it in monthly installments. If you opt to pay the entire season in full prior to August 11, 2025, you will receive a 5% discount. Please note: If you choose to pay your dancer’s tuition for the full year and then withdraw from classes for any reason (loss of interest, school obligations, injury, illness, etc), a 30% penalty will be applied to your refund for the remainder of the year. We recommend only paying for the year in full if you are 100% confident your dancer will participate fully in the entire season. If for any reason we provide a tuition discount during one or more months of the season, this discount will not apply to prepayments. No further discounts are available.
