Tuition is divided into 10 equal monthly payments from September through June.
Payments are due on the 1st of each month.
Dancers may withdraw from classes at any time; however, tuition is still due for the full duration of the contract.
Late or missed payments may incur a late fee and could impact class participation.

CBM may take photographs, videos, or recordings of students during classes, rehearsals, or performances for promotional, educational, or archival purposes.
