Tuition
Tuition The cost of each class is based on the number of hours of instruction and number of instructors from September to May (or January to May for the Winter Semester).
Costs of competition fees are included. Parental input will be asked for festival and competition availability. Families will pay for their own travel when necessary.
We will elect a fundraising committee to run fundraisers that offset the costs of costumes, performances, travel, cultural enrichment and so on (bottle drive, Easter chocolates, Perogies/Sausage from the hall, 50/50, casino, clothing sales)
Please make all payments in a timely matter. There is a 2.00% fee on credit card payments. Thanks for understanding. You may pay by E-transfers or cheque to avoid this fee.
If paying by e-transfer or cheque, pay the entire registration or split it into two payments, one at the first dance class and one post dated January 1.
If paying by credit card, the registration system allows paying in full or splitting into eight (8) equal payments: first at time of registration and then first day of the month from October to April.
Refund Policy: Please note that a society membership registration fee of $25.00 is included in tuition and non-refundable. If a student leaves St. Basil's Ukrainian Dance before the year is over, the remaining tuition will be prorated and refunded accordingly once costumes have been returned.
