MCDA uses a monthly auto-pay system. Once you enroll tuition is auto-charged on the 1st of the month. If you enroll after the start date, tuition is prorated for classes you may have missed.
Dancers who are not feeling well are encouraged to stay home until they are fever-free for 24 hours and no longer have symptoms that would be contagious. Once a dancer is feeling better, they may schedule a make-up class in the same level of dance at your earliest convenience.
If a dancer is injured, we strongly encourage them to come to class and watch. This allows them to take notes, see their friends, and continue learning. Once the dance is released to move and groove, they may schedule make-up classes in the same level of dance at their earliest convenience.
