POLICIES
Tuition Payment
Creative Steps School of Dance will send you an
invoice the third week of each month for the following
month’s class tuition. This payment is a fixed monthly
fee, and is not based on the number of classes per
month. Tuition is due by the first of each month. If
payment is not received by the 10th of the month a
$20.00 late fee will be posted to your account. If
classes are missed for any reason (i.e. sickness, snow
day) they should be made up in a class of like subject.
Check with the office to see what class will serve your
needs. Make up classes are the responsibility of the
student, and will not be refunded.
Class tuition checks may be deposited in the tuition
box at the school, dropped off in the office, or mailed
to the Creative Steps location at 630 West Main St.,
Suite J, Tilton, N.H. 03276. Please mark all checks with the
student’s name (particularly if the student’s last name
is different from the last name on the check). Any cash
payments must be paid in the office, and only with a
receipt.
