Tuition and Fees

2021-22 season registration is now open!

COVID-19 UPDATE: At Twirl, we are ready and capable to adapt to changing circumstances as they unfold. Until COVID restrictions are adjusted, we will offer both in-person/hybrid and virtual options for every class on our 2021-22 season schedule. Dance classes will operate in accordance to CDC and PA Dept of Health guidelines. At this point, Twirl will maintain the same safety protocols for the 2021-22 season that were in place for the 2020-21 season. To learn about these protocols click the button below.

2021-22 QUARTERLY TUITION SCHEDULE 

Dance classes at Twirl run continuously from September 9, 2021 through June 8, 2022.  Although, tuition is charged in four quarterly installments, enrollment is open through January and families can register any time during this time period.

Quarterly tuition payments are due on September 9, November 15, January 24, and March 28. Families that enroll in classes before the season begins will pay the registration fee at the time of enrollment. The first tuition payment will be charged on September 10. Families that register after the season has begun will pay prorated tuition for the quarter that they join and continue with quarterly payments through the rest of the season. The number of classes per quarter may be inconsistent depending on which days of the week classes fall on, therefore, quarterly tuition charges reflect annual tuition costs divided by four.

A Note about 2021-22 season tuition and class options– Until COVID restrictions are lifted, Twirl will offer both in-person and virtual options for all classes for the 2021-22 season. Tuition is the same for either option. Classes size limits are the same as a normal season, but as long as social distancing protocols are in effect, only nine or ten students can dance at the studio in each class. For classes with a student enrollment that exceeds the nine or ten student limit, the class will operate with a hybrid model. That means that every week nine or ten students per class will be in person at the studio and the remainder will Zoom in from home. This will rotate weekly. As situations change, families can switch from virtual only to in-person classes and vice versa at any time. Class sizes will be adjusted as CDC and PA Dept. of Health adapt their social distancing requirements.

2021-22 quarterly payments are due on September 9, November 15, January 24, and March 28.
