Two weeks notice is required to stop a tuition payment. It must be given to the administrator (Susan.Boyle@rothesayballet.com) by email. Once a cheque has been deposited for a term, no refund will be given for that term.
All students must pay a registration fee at the time of registration.
Students are not guaranteed placement in a class until the registration fee is paid.
Registration fees are non-refundable. Students remaining in classes until the end of the year will have their registration fee credited toward the cost of their spring recital costume.

School Closures

Rothesay Ballet School closes for all public holidays. We remain open on Teacher In-Service Days and Parent Teacher Days. The school is closed when public schools are closed due to inclement weather. Please call the studio to check if classes are cancelled when weather worsens through the day. A message will be left on the studio line at 847-7272. Ballet students are encouraged to make up a class missed due to illness or weather by attending an alternate class at the same level.
