payment policies

Any payment that is not honored by a financial institution will result in a $15 late fee. Any returned check will result in a $25 service charge. No discounts or prorated options will be provided for scheduled days off, Holidays, illness, family events, or school functions. Prorates will only apply to joining a class. For example, if a student joins a class on the third meeting of that month, payment will be prorated for the final 2 meetings. For insufficient or neglected payments, student participation may be suspended until account is settled. All registration fees, tuition, recital, costume and other payments are non-transferrable and non-refundable. Monthly statements will be sent out on the 1st of the month to the primary email account holder. A receipt will be provided for all payments made in cash.

Annual Performances are held once a year at the Allen ISD Performing Arts Center. McKinney Dance Studio, Inc. must receive dues by December 1st. All fees must be collected in advance to order costumes, reserve our location, as well as pay production costs. All costume providers have deadlines on their ship date. If a student misses the due date we can not guarantee their costume in time for the recital. There are no refunds once payment has been collected - costume providers will not cancel orders once in production.
