REGISTRATION FEE: A non-refundable $40.00 registration for first student and $20.00 for each additional student is required yearly at the time of registration.
TUITION AND FEES: Tuition cost is by year and divided into 10 equal instalments due on the 1st of the month from September-June. Some months may have less classes than others and these are built into the yearly cost. Also built into this cost are holidays, breaks and 2 inclement weather days. If the public schools have been canceled due to weather, lessons may also be cancelled, so check on the CBO Dancers group page on Facebook, or your email before leaving your house. Please contact the office staff with any questions about additional class make-up times. No refunds for lessons missed due to these reasons will be given. If more than 2 classes must be cancelled, then makeup classes will be offered either by combining with another class, or by scheduling a makeup class in person or virtually at CBO’s discretion.
Tuition Fees are non-refundable.
BILLING: I understand tuition is due on the 1st of each month. I understand I am responsible for payment for the month whether my dancer attends classes or not. I understand my tuition is nonrefundable and nontransferable. I hereby agree to make timely tuition payments as set forth therein. I understand there are no refunds or deductions from tuition for classes not attended. I will make every effort to bring my child to make-up classes for classes missed due to illness. I understand what my regular monthly tuition is and that it will be due and payable on the 1st day of the month. I also agree to a late fee of $10.00 if my payment is received any time after the 7th day of the month (unless arrangements have been made.) I understand if partial tuition payments are made, payments will be applied to late fees first and then to tuition balance. I understand my account must be closed out in person when canceling classes. I understand if my account has a balance due of more than 60 days, a phone call will be made to the parent and my dancer will be unable to return to class until the account is paid in full. I understand if my account has a balance due of more than 60 days and no attempt has been made to pay, that my account will be turned over to a collection agency. I understand that any and all collection costs and fees will then become my responsibility.

Otherwise, I understand CBO assumes the student is still enrolled and charges on my account will continue to incur (whether during the current month or the upcoming month). The 30 days will begin as of the date a representative of CBO has received and initialed this written notice.
NOTIFICATION: I understand the dancer and/or the Parent must notify CBO office at (417-217-3546) or childrensballet@gmail.com if unable to attend classes (sickness, family emergencies, etc.).
