Tuition Payments
Students who commit to enrollment in the Fall, Winter, and Spring Sessions will be considered for roles in The Nutcracker and the annual Spring Showcase. If Session Payments are not received by the due dates below, a $25.00 late fee will be applied.
If you choose to withdraw your child from Ballet Hawaii classes for any reason, please fill out Ballet Hawaii’s Withdrawal Form prior to the tuition due date of the session. If you are on autopay and do not fill out the withdrawal form, there will be a $25.00 admin fee.
All students pay a $35.00 annual registration fee. This is collected at the start of our Fall session. If a student drops out and then rejoins, their registration fee will be charged again. New students starting before the Fall session pay a registration fee when they enroll. If they start in the Summer session and pay the registration fee, it will be waived in the Fall.
If your child is not participating in Summer session, a non-refundable deposit in the following amount is required to reserve their spot in the Fall session.
Creative Movement, Creative Dance, Pre-Ballet, & Ballet 1: $200

Lateness
If a student is late they are expected to warm themselves up and ask the teacher’s permission to join the class.

Absence
If a student must be absent from class, Ballet Hawaii requires a parent/guardian to report this absence via their school’s Jackrabbit account PRIOR TO the start of the missed class for the absence to be recorded as “excused”. If an absence notification is received during or after a student’s class, it will be recorded as simply an absence. Only excused absences are allowed to be made up. (Please refer to “Class ‘Makeup’ Policy” below).
What is an “Excused Absence”?
An absence is considered “excused” in the event of:
• Student is ill/injured
• Graded school activity/event
• Family emergencies
• Family vacations
• Natural disasters
and the BH front desk staff was notified of the absence prior to the start of the class.
*Ballet Hawaii takes ALL absences into consideration when casting major productions like The Nutcracker. Attending ballet classes is necessary for a student’s progression and maintenance as a dancer. As excused absences are allowed to be made up, it is important that a valid excuse is provided.

Class “Make-up” Policy
Students may make up missed classes in the level at/below their current level at the school in which they are registered. All make-ups must be completed before the current session ends. (Exception: Spring Session – no make-ups are allowed as our students will be rehearsing their dances for our Spring Showcase during their class time)

Cancellation of Classes
Ballet Hawaii School will be closed in case of severe weather conditions according to the Hawaii DOE School Systems closings.
