TUITION & FEES
Ludington & Fremont Locations
A $30 fee per family is due at the time of registration.
Credit card must be on file on the parent portal.
Your monthly tuition is calculated based on a 34-week dance year divided into 9.5 months ( June is 1/2 of normal tuition for Ludington & not 1/2 month for Fremont as we begin our Christmas break earlier than Ludington). *
Tuition is due on the first day of each month and auto-drafted on the 5th.
To avoid a LATE FEE of $20, please use your portal to pay or ensure your credit card will not decline.
If your account is over two months past due, you will be asked to pay it in full before your child returns to class.
*Ludington tumble-bear, acrobatics only, and Gymbear programs run only through May. Students are not charged June tuition or costume deposit.
DISCOUNTS
* These discounts are applied individually & for families!
1-2 Classes- No Discount
3-4 Classes- 10%Discount

REFUNDS
Tuition is only refunded for job relocation & serious illness, which is at the discretion of LFSD.
Refunds are not given for dropping mid-month. Your child is holding a spot as our class sizes are limited.
If you wish to drop your child from our program, call our office before the 20th to avoid a charge the following month.
Performance & Costume Fees
$90 (plus tax) fee per costume beginning October 1, 2026 – March ’27. (For example, your child is in ballet & jazz- 2 costume fees of $90 each- 1 paid in October & 1 in November; 1 hour combo classes for young children have a costume fee of $150; for dancers/families in multiple classes, that $90 fee is pulled monthly till all fees are paid). These costumes are purchased, and each student receives them at showtime, keeping the costume as their own.
On May 1, 2027, a one-time spring recital fee of $25 per family will be charged for costume organization. Additional fee of $30 for a professional memory DVD by Sue and Steve Brown.
Note: Costumes fees are non-refundable.
Ludington Athletic Club Membership Family Discount
ALL LFSD families may also join Ludington Athletic Club with 24-hour key fob access for a discounted rate of $25 monthly. There is a $10 non-refundable fee for a 24-hour access key fob.
