  • How much is tuition?

    The Fall (school year) session is billed monthly, beginning in August and ending in June. The first month of payment includes our final 2 weeks of the session (June of the school year) along with the current month's tuition. Hour-long classes are $70 per month, and 45-minute classes are $68 per month, with discounts available for company members, multiple students, and multiple classes. Summer sessions beginning in late June and ending in early August must be paid in full before classes begin, and are billed in one billing cycle for the session. Each summer class is $70-$75, excluding camps which are $160, with discounts as well for all previously mentioned items.


    There is a registration fee of $35 for new and returning families annually.


    Payments are autodrafted on the 10th of each month with the card on file.

  • How do I make tuition payments?

    Payments are automatically billed online through a secure system on the 1st of every month, and are due on the 10th. Autopayments are made with the card you have on file. Additionally accepted payments can be made by check or cash, one month in advance for tuition payments. If paying by cash, please obtain a receipt from the admission desk. Payments are due August through May, or Summer Session payments are due by the first day of class. Payments received after the 10th of each month are subject to a $15 late charge.

  • What is the withdrawal policy?

    We strongly recommended that a student complete one full semester before considering withdrawing from class. We require two weeks written notice of all drops, and the last two weeks of tuition paid in the first month are applied at that time. Any outstanding tuition balance will be either pro-rated or credited upon our discretion. If a student drops a class mid-month, you will be assessed the full month’s tuition.

  • How are class levels determined?

    The appropriate class level is determined by the discretion of our professional instructors.

  • Can an existing student try a new class?

    YES! Dancers who are currently students at Momentum are more than welcome to take advantage of our free trial program as well as new students. Dancers are welcome to try one class of each style of dance before making any decisions on adding new classes or changing current ones. 

  • Do I call the studio if my child will miss class?

    Single absences do not need to be reported, unless there is an injury or serious illnesses requiring an extended period of absence. Make-up a class at your earliest convenience by attending the same type of class. Please provide any documentation for an unexcused absence.

  • How many absences are allowed before an automatic drop?

    Dancers are allowed 3 unexcused absences in a row before the system will automatically drop them from the class. Classes can always be made up within 30 days that they are missed.

  • What if class is canceled due to inclement weather?

    An email, text message, and social media post will be sent regarding cancellation. There will be no personal phone calls made. Make-up your class at your convenience anytime throughout the year, and schedule makeups through the parent portal.

  • When and where do recital costume measurements take place?

    The second week in November is reserved to take measurements at the studio. Students will be measured at this time and full costume payment is required by the Saturday ending that week.

  • Is recital participation mandatory?

    The June recital is a wonderful achievement for your dancer, but it is not required. Students will benefit from taking class whether or not they perform on stage. All recital participants must be registered on or before January 31st to ensure they will receive a costume, and a $30 recital participation fee is attached to ensure we put on the highest quality show.

  • What if my child wants to change classes?

    A class change must be for an appropriate level and have the approval of the instructor. Changes will be only allowed until November, and all changes should be made through the front desk assistant with faculty approval.

  • What are the requirements for certain levels/classes?

    Requirements are in place to ensure the proper education for your dancer. They are necessary for your child to successfully participate in class. Our curriculum is designed to guide each student appropriately through training. See our prerequisites by reading our class descriptions.
