A Message about the billing process from our Accounts Manager, Lucia Kidney
Last week you should have received a 'class confirmation' email confirming the class you've registered for. Most tuition statements will be not be sent out until the week of
August 9th. Many of our customers have expressed a desire for us to
simplify our billing which includes accounting for recital costs. For this reason and also to better allow for
family budgeting, we are billing full costume
costs, for all students, (except Boys)**, along with tuition this year.
Your first payment will be due on September 5th
which will include 50% of your tuition PLUS costume charges and Munroe fees.
The remaining tuition balance will be due on December 15th.
The Munroe Center has asked us to collect Building
Restoration fees for them again this year which are $25 per student / maximum
$60 per family. (Please read a note from Christian Herold, Director of the Munroe Center for the Arts below in this newsletter.) As always, The Dance Inn offers Alternate Tuition Plans for
families who would prefer to pay in four installments instead of two. There are
no additional costs for this Plan. In order to keep our tuition costs down,
this year we are requiring that any families requesting these plans, must be
enrolled in the "Recurring Payment Plan" that is offered in Studio Director (our online software program). You set up your own account and your
credit card information is secured for The Dance Inn by a third party
processing company. The system would automatically charge your credit card ¼ of
your tuition on the designated dates of August 15, 2010, October 15, 2010,
December 15, 2010 and February 15, 2011. Each time your credit card is charged,
you are automatically sent an email receipt for the transaction. Requests for Alternate Tuition Plans must be received in
writing no later than August 23rd. Please send your written
requests to office@thedanceinn.com
and put "Alternate Tuition Plan Request" on the subject line. *Legacy students will be receiving their statements the week of July 26th.
**Costumes for our male dancers vary, which is why we will wait to bill until our Costume Manager can accurately assess cost when the costuming is
complete.
Please remember we are here to answer any questions you may have about anything mentioned in this newsletter. We appreciate your patience and feedback.
