Fee Breakdown (per class/not cumulative hours):

We will now offer two payment options for families: monthly via CC or a one time payment via cash or check
- For those wanting to pay a monthly installment we will add an additional $5.00 to each students monthly installment, which totals to an additional $50 per student per year.
- The processing fee will be waived for tuition paid in full by cash or check.

Miss Charity's Shuffles and Chaines Dance Academy takes into consideration Covid-19 and other illnesses guidlines set forth by the CDC and NCDHHS.

Summer Concert Costume Fees are due in two installments. Costume fees will be charged to the credit/debit card on file according to the schedule below. We do our best to provide the most beautiful, modest and budget conscious costumes for our students.
Tights, socks, hair accessories, shoe bows are all included in costume fee.
PLEASE NOTE: Since majority of the costumes (fabrics, and sometimes production) are outsourced and with the potential of looming tariffs, we cannot predict the cost of costuming for the 25-26 seaason. We will do our best to keep all costume costs at a minimum.
