Tuition and Payment Options
REGISTRATION
Ballet Caliente operates under an ANNUAL enrollment agreement.  All class slots are reserved for students participating in the entire dance year.  Students who join during the year will pay on a prorated basis.
 
Ballet Caliente’s Tuition Schedule has a built-in multi-hour discount structure. The more classes you take, the more you save. Families with more than one dancer will see multi-hour discount reflected on their statement.
