Tuition, Class Fees, & Discounts
Children's Dance Classes
Most of our children's dance classes operate on a school year style schedule and have the option to participate in our annual Recital! This is what we mean we say "Full Season Classes." Full Season Classes will begin August 17th and run through May 22nd, 2027.
Based on valuable customer feedback and the rising cost of costumes, we have established a "Costume Closet." This initiative involves purchasing costumes in bulk for future use, allowing us to offer a more affordable and streamlined process. This fee covers the costs of storage, cleaning and maintenance, and one pair of tights. Complimentary alteration services are provided. Costumes will be returned to the studio after the recital in our final week of classes. Classes participating in the recital will have an additional $4 added to monthly tuition to cover this costume fee. This will also be subject to discount rules.
The more classes a dancer takes, the greater the discount!
The base monthly tuition fee for each class is listed next to the class info on the registration page. This is the cost of a full season of dance divided into equal monthly tuition for your convenience. Dance class does not cost more in months with 5 weeks of class nor does it cost less for months with 3 classes.
Additional Fees & Costs
Registration Fee
-
A registration fee of $45 per dancer will be applied at the time of enrollment in Full Season Classes.
Dance Wear and Shoes

Each dancer will need appropriate practice clothing and dance shoes. See our Dress Code for more information.
Recital Fee

Families with dancers participating in Recital will be charged a Recital Fee for each dancer in an amount to be determined upon booking a venue. This fee is due February 15th, 2027 and includes a dress rehearsal and performance with lighting and full production, a full color dance yearbook with photos and space for friends to sign, a participation medal, and a digital video download of the performance. The recital fee does not include tickets. Families are welcome to purchase as many or as few tickets to the show as they prefer.
Adult Classes, Family Dance & Yoga, and Kids' Yoga
These classes operate differently than the "school calendar based" kids' dance classes and are paid for when you register for the individual class or purchase a membership. See our "Adult Classes" and "Family Classes" pages for details!

Class Etiquette & Behavior Expectations
A common understanding of class etiquette creates the best possible learning environment for all the members of our studio community.
We like this list of etiquette guidelines put together by The Radio City Rockettes!
Most importantly for dance and yoga...
Dancers must be in dress code with hair secured properly.
Arrive on time and stay for the entire class. If you must arrive late, enter quietly and wait for the teacher to signal that you may enter the space.
No gum, food, or drinks besides water in the movement studios.
Leave phones off and away!
Never sit down in dance class unless given specific directions to do so!
No side conversations during class.
Do your best and try new things!
Attendance & Class Make Ups
There is no specific attendance policy for classes at Monarch Movement Company. However, tuition is still charged when a student misses class. Make Up Classes may be arranged in any existing age appropriate class and can be arranged within your Customer Portal! If a student is not able to make it to an alternative existing class, Monarch may not be able to accommodate a makeup.
Monarch Movement Company takes a Winter and Spring Break. By the end of the dance season, each class will have the same number of class opportunities regardless of which day of the week it meets. For convenience, tuition remains flat throughout the year.
In the case that Monarch Movement Company must cancel classes, every effort will be made to schedule make up classes but it may not be possible to meet every person's scheduling needs.
Inclement Weather Policy & Procedure
If classes must be canceled or postponed due to inclement weather, you will find this information on Monarch social media and the website home page. Additionally, classes specifically affected will receive an email about schedule changes as well as an app notification.
Movers attending drop-in classes - please remember that if you aren't registered for classes we cannot contact you directly! Please check the above places for class schedule updates!
Weather decisions will be made based on conditions at the studio and closely surrounding areas. Please always make attendance decisions based on what is best and safest for your family and your travel route to the studio. We are happy to discuss an opportunity to make up any missed classes.
