Registration, Tuition & Payment Policy

2026/27 Dance Season | Connectivity Dance Ltd.

At Connectivity Dance, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and discover a love of movement.

We strive to provide professional, inclusive dance, jump rope and performing arts programs while maintaining clear and consistent financial policies for our families.

Please review the following information carefully before completing your registration. These policies apply to Connectivity Dance Ltd. programs unless otherwise specified in an individual program's registration terms.

1. Membership & Registration Fees

Annual CDL Membership Fee — $45 per student

A non-refundable annual membership fee is applied to each registered student. This fee supports studio administration, membership services and program operations.

Full Season Class Reservation Deposit — $200 per student

A non-refundable $200 reservation deposit is required to secure a student's place in full-season programming.

The reservation deposit is applied toward the student's tuition balance and is not an additional charge beyond the published tuition.

Registration is considered complete once the required registration information, policy acknowledgements and payment arrangements have been received.

Class placements are subject to availability and program requirements.

2. Full Season Tuition & Payment Plans

Full-season programming runs from September through June, following the published Connectivity Dance calendar.

Tuition reflects the complete season of instruction and associated program expenses. Fees are calculated annually rather than according to the number of classes offered in an individual month.

For family convenience, we offer two payment options:

Option 1 — Full Season Payment

Families may pay their full-season tuition balance in one payment at the beginning of the season.

Option 2 — Monthly Payment Plan

Full-season tuition may be divided into nine equal monthly instalments from September through May.

Monthly instalments are due by the 15th of each month.
The reservation deposit is credited toward the student's tuition.
Monthly instalments are a payment arrangement for annual tuition, not month-to-month enrolment.
Missing a payment does not extend the scheduled payment period.
Payment arrangements must be established with studio administration within seven days of registration.

Tuition is not adjusted for months containing statutory holidays, scheduled studio closures or differing numbers of instructional weeks.

Families may review their account balances, scheduled payments and outstanding charges through the Connectivity Dance Parent Portal.

3. Short-Term Sessions, Workshops & Special Programs

Connectivity Dance offers additional programming throughout the year, including:

Ignite four-week mini sessions
Spark eight-week sessions
Seasonal camps and intensives
Workshops and masterclasses
Drop-in classes and special events
Private and small-group training

Registration fees and payment schedules for these programs are outlined in their individual program descriptions.

Unless otherwise specified, payment is required to secure registration, and program fees are non-refundable once registration is completed, subject to applicable law.

Private training programs may have additional scheduling, attendance and cancellation requirements outlined in their registration policies.

4. Performance & Costume Fees

Connectivity Dance offers performance opportunities throughout the season, including our annual Together We Danceshowcase.

Eligible full-season performance dance, competitive dance and jump rope classes participate in the year-end showcase. Acro technique classes may participate through a skills demonstration.

Costume Fees

Costumes are an additional expense unless specifically included in a program's published tuition or package fee.

A standard $50 costume deposit per participating Competitive class is due by December 15.
Final costume balances are due by March 15.
Costume costs vary according to the design, supplier, accessories and program requirements.
Studio inventory and rental options may be used where appropriate.

All competitive and performance costumes are coordinated through Connectivity Dance. Families and instructors must receive studio approval before purchasing costumes independently.

Costume deposits and payments become non-refundable once orders or financial commitments have been made.

5. Competitive Dance Fees

Competitive dance programming may include additional expenses for competition registration, choreography, costumes, examinations and related events.

Competition Entry Fees

A $50 deposit per competition entry is due by November 15.
Remaining competition entry balances are due by February 15.
All competition entries are submitted through Connectivity Dance.

Estimated competition entry costs vary by event and category:

Entry Type ~ Estimated Fee

Solo ~ $115

Duet ~ $85 per dancer

Group ~ $70 per dancer

These amounts are estimates only. Final fees depend on the competition organizer, number of entries and applicable charges.

Solo, duet and trio choreography fees are separate from class tuition and may be eligible for monthly payment arrangements.

Competition entry fees are non-refundable once entries have been submitted or financial commitments made, except where refunds are received from an event organizer and are applicable to the participant.

6. Syllabus Examinations

Connectivity Dance supports progressive technical development through recognized dance and acrobatic training syllabi.

Students participating in competitive programs may be required to complete examinations in their enrolled disciplines as part of their ongoing technical development.

Examinations may include Ballet, Jazz, Tap and Acro.

Examination Fees

Fees generally range from $85 to $200 depending on genre and level.
A minimum of three examination preparation classes is required.
Examination schedules and fees are communicated as assessment opportunities are confirmed.
Required preparation classes and examination fees are additional to regular tuition unless otherwise specified.

Specialized examination attire or equipment may be required. Rental options may be available for selected items.

Examination registration and fees are non-refundable once submitted to the examining organization, subject to the organization's policies and applicable law.

7. Connectivity Skippers — Jump Rope Programs

Connectivity Skippers offers recreational and competitive jump rope training.

The annual CDL membership fee applies to registered participants.

Competitive jump rope athletes are also responsible for applicable Rope Skipping Canada and Rope Skipping Alberta membership fees and submission of required membership forms.

Additional competitive expenses may include:

Competition and event registration
Travel and accommodation
Team apparel or uniforms
Required certifications or training
Special clinics and workshops
Coaching Fees

Competition and event entry fees are not included in regular tuition unless expressly stated in the program description.

Event fees are added to participant accounts as event details are confirmed and must be paid before the applicable registration deadlines.

8. Late Payments & Outstanding Accounts

Connectivity Dance relies on timely tuition payments to maintain consistent programming, staffing and facility operations.

Payment Due Dates

Monthly instalments are due by the 15th of each month unless another arrangement has been approved in writing.

Late Payment Charges

Overdue account balances may be subject to a late charge of 1.5% per month, in accordance with the registration agreement and applicable law.

A $35 administration charge applies to returned cheques or declined payments, subject to applicable law.

Outstanding Accounts

Families with outstanding balances will receive account reminders and may access their payment history through the Parent Portal.

Accounts remaining unpaid may be subject to additional collection procedures in accordance with the registration agreement and applicable law.

Where payment difficulties arise, families are encouraged to contact studio administration promptly to discuss available arrangements.

Financial decisions and payment arrangements are handled by studio administration, not individual instructors.

9. Withdrawal, Cancellation & Refund Policy

Registration in full-season programming reserves a student's place and contributes to the studio's annual staffing, scheduling and operating commitments.

Withdrawal Requests

All withdrawal requests must be submitted in writing to director@connectivitydance.com

Student absence, missed classes or verbal notification to an instructor do not constitute formal withdrawal.

A minimum of 30 days' written notice is required for withdrawal requests to be processed.

A $50 withdrawal administration fee applies, subject to the registration agreement and applicable law.

Tuition & Refunds

Membership fees and reservation deposits are non-refundable, subject to applicable law.

Full-season tuition commitments, cancellation eligibility and any outstanding balance owing are governed by the registration agreement accepted at enrolment.

Fees for workshops, camps, short-term sessions, special events and other programs are subject to their individual registration terms.

Payments already committed to third-party services, competition entries, examinations, costume orders or other non-recoverable program expenses are generally non-refundable, subject to applicable law.

A final account statement will be provided following an approved withdrawal. Any outstanding amount must be paid within 30 days of the statement date.

Studio-Initiated Cancellations

If Connectivity Dance cancels a program, affected families will be notified of available alternatives, account credits or applicable refunds.

10. Missed Classes & Studio Closures

Tuition is based on the published program calendar and is not reduced for individual student absences.

Missed classes due to illness, vacations, personal scheduling conflicts or other individual circumstances do not automatically qualify for tuition credits or refunds.

Scheduled studio closures, statutory holidays and seasonal breaks are considered when annual tuition is established.

If a class is cancelled by Connectivity Dance outside the published calendar, the studio will communicate any applicable makeup arrangements or other remedies.

11. Financial Assistance & Funding Opportunities

We recognize that the cost of extracurricular activities can be a barrier for some families.

Connectivity Dance encourages eligible families to explore community funding programs that may help cover participation costs.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart

Financial assistance for eligible children participating in sports and physical activities.

KidSport

Funding opportunities to help eligible children participate in organized sports and recreation.

City of Leduc — Creative Culture Connections

Local cultural funding opportunities may be available for eligible families and activities, subject to current program criteria.

Funding applications are completed directly with the applicable organization.

Families are responsible for tuition balances and payment deadlines unless an alternative arrangement has been approved by studio administration.

Funding approval, eligibility and payment timelines are determined by the funding organization.

12. Fundraising & Member Credits

Connectivity Dance offers optional fundraising opportunities throughout the year to help families offset participation expenses.

Fundraising credits may be applied toward eligible expenses such as:

Tuition and registration balances
Dancewear and studio merchandise
Workshops and intensives
Competition and examination fees
Approved studio events

How Fundraising Credits Work

Fundraising credits are calculated as a percentage of the profit generated by each fundraiser, not the total sales amount.

The applicable credit percentage and conditions are communicated with each fundraising opportunity.

Credits are applied directly to the family's Connectivity Dance account after the fundraiser has been completed and reconciled.

Fundraising credits cannot be redeemed for cash or transferred outside the member account.

Credits earned during the 2026/27 season must be used by September 30, 2027, unless otherwise specified.

If a student withdraws, available fundraising credits will first be applied toward outstanding eligible account charges. Any remaining credits will be forfeited upon withdrawal or discontinuation of membership, subject to applicable law.

Fundraising Order Collection

Families are responsible for checking and confirming fundraising orders at pickup.

Damaged or missing items must be reported within 24 hours of receipt, or within the timeframe established by the individual fundraiser.

13. Account Management & Payments

Families can manage their accounts using the Connectivity Dance Parent Portal.

Through the portal, members can:

View current balances
Review tuition and additional charges
Access payment history
Make online payments
Review registration information
