Tuition/Dues

Tuition includes all Tuesday classes and dances. Tuition amounts and payment schedule depend on the class and are shown below.
Dues are $40 annually and are due before the year's annual meeting in the spring. Each member owes dues whether or not he/she is taking a class. Students taking the mainstream class for the first time do not need to pay dues.

If you need assistance paying tuition, you are welcome to speak confidentially with our Treasurer.
