GUARANTEE OF CLASSES: (Fall Only)
Body Expressions yearly tuition rates guarantee a minimum of 30 classes per year. We do, however, average more classes per year to allow for unforeseen occurrences such as exceptionally bad weather. If for some reason we fall below the guaranteed 30 classes we will hold make-up classes.

Withdrawals must be done at the information desk, not with the individual teacher. Withdrawals must occur within the first 15 days of the month in order for the automatic payments to stop for the next month. If a withdrawal is made on the 16th - 31st of any month, you will be required to pay the following month. Your child can come to the classes until automatic payment stops. To withdraw from a class a parent or adult student must:
1. Inform the office personnel in person, and
2. Complete and fill out a withdrawal form provided by the office personnel within the first 15 days of the month.
NO withdrawals will be accepted, and no refunds will be given for tuition, costumes, or recital fee after January 31, 2026.
