Prices and Policies

Dear Parents and Dancers,

We are very excited that you have chosen to be part of Marshall Academy of Dance's 2026–2027 dance season! Thank you for your continued support and for trusting M.A.D. with your dancer(s).

Classes begin September 8, 2026.

Please read the following information carefully and keep it available throughout the year for reference.

Tuition & Payments

Tuition is divided into nine equal monthly payments (September through May).

September tuition and the annual insurance fee are due by the first class.
Tuition payments after September are due on the first Friday of each month.
Payments may be made online or by check placed in the secure drop box located in the M.A.D. hallway.

** Please Note: No refunds, costume reimbursements, or fundraiser cash-outs will be issued. Any credit remaining on a dancer's account may only be used toward M.A.D. expenses. Credits may not be transferred to another dancer unless they are siblings.
