Tuition& Payment

At Kingston School of Dance, we strive to make quality dance education accessible and manageable for families. Our structured payment plan for youth programming bills tuition on a monthly basis, helping ease financial planning throughout each term. Financial Support: If your family is experiencing financial difficulty, Kingston School of Dance is here to support you. Please contact us to discuss how we can help.
We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to these policies, which allow us to maintain smooth operations and continue providing exceptional programming.

Youth/Student Registration Requirements:

Our Youth programming

  • A minimum payment of 25% of tuition due at registration to secure your space in the class.

  • Remaining balance split into up to 3 monthly payments

  • Students with an unpaid balance after Nov. 1 will not be eligible for Term 2 registration.



    Refund Policy:     If a student withdraws within the first 3 weeks of classes, they will be charged for the full first month.
    After the third week, the student is committed for the remainder of the term and responsible for the full term cost, regardless of attendance.

Adult Registration Requirements:

Our adult programming follows a different schedule than our youth programming. Adult classes are offered in seasonal sessions: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer.

  • 100% of tuition is due at the time of registration

  • No payment plans are available for adult classes

  • Spots will not be held without payment

  • Adult classes will be broken up into 3 seasons Fall, Winter & Spring


    Refund Policy:     If a withdrawal or change is made within the first 3 weeks, the student will be charged for 1 month of classes. After the third week, no refunds will be offered.

    Adult Drop-In Classes (Including Dance Card Users):

  • Drop-in classes must be paid at the time of registration.

  • If an adult books a class and does not attend, they will be charged the full class fee. This applies to both single-class and dance card drop-ins.

Important Payment Policies

  • Outstanding Balances: Students with unpaid balances will not be permitted to register for Term 2 until their balance is at $0, including adult students. Additionally, students with outstanding balances may not be eligible to participate in the year-end recital.

  • Year-End Performance: Participation in the year-end performance is conditional on full payment of all Term 2 (spring) fees. If payments are incomplete, eligibility to perform will be reviewed and may be revoked.

  • A non-refundable $25 annual registration fee is required at the start of Term 1 for all students, including those in adult classes.

  • Performance Fee: Any student participating in the year-end performance in June will incur a performance fee on March 1st of that season, based on the number of classes they are performing in.  

  • After the performance fee is charged no-refunds will be offered if a student decides not to participate. 

  • Costumes: KSD does not charge for costumes and the school keeps them to reuse for future years — a tradition we are proud to continue. However, students may be required to purchase a piece of their costume to keep, for hygiene reasons.
