Discounts
Students enrolling in 3 or more classes receive a 15% discount per term on the 3rd and subsequent 1 hour classes on an individual student basis.  The price of the IT program has a 20% discount on each class already worked into the price.  A student in the IT program will receive a 20% discount on any class above and beyond the set classes excluding competition solo, duet or trio rehearsal.

Fees are due before the first class of each term.  Payment options include cash, cheque, visa, MasterCard and debit. G.S.T. is included in tuition fees.  Any student who withdraws from classes before the third class will receive a refund for the remainder of the term.  After the third class no refunds will be made for that term, however, post-dated cheques for subsequent terms will be returned.  A charge of $30 will be assessed for NSF cheques.  The cost of costumes, accessories and tickets to performances are extra and non-refundable.

ITP Students
These students participate with the knowledge that they are expected to have full attendance for rehearsals and any events including 2 or 3 spring competitions/workshops.  Failing to attend a scheduled performance could result in dismissal from the class and program with no refunds.  Extra costumes, shoes, accessories, entry fees and ticket prices etc. will be applicable.  An ITP uniform and jacket must be purchased.

Costumes
A $50 costume deposit per class will be required from every student participating in the year end recital due with the 2nd term payment.  The costume balance will be due with the 3rd term payment.  We do our very best to select appropriate costumes based on the theme of the performance and pricing.  The Bradford School of Dance Inc. and The Barrie School of Dance Inc. does not dictate the price of our costumes. Costume makers, catalogues, seamstresses and shipping charges all affect the price of a costume.  Sizing for students is measured in the winter months and we allow for reasonable growth.  Costume companies require 4-5 months to fill orders.  Any costume alterations are the responsibility of the student/parent not The Bradford School of Dance Inc. and The Barrie School of Dance Inc. Anyone who registers for class after December 31st will experience a late costume ordering fee and is not guaranteed their costume for picture day or recital.
