Exam classes are offered at the rate of $225 per exam class running Sept. thru April and/or May.

Exam entry fees for the association providing the exam (CDTA or RAD) will be billed separate to Tisdale Dance Centre. These fees are above the class fee. Once your dancer commits to participating in the exam the exam fee must be paid even if the dancer does not examine last minute.

Exam bodysuit, skirts and shoes will be available for rental from the studio. Rental is $10/item. Tights will need to be purchased, we recommend 2 pairs.  Students can also purchase their own attire.

Fees for classes, rentals and exam entry will be billed to your studio director account. These fees are due before the commencement of the exam.​

Students who choose to do extras (Solo's/Duet's/Trio's) will be provided with a form at the beginning of the year that is to be filled out and returned to Miss Dana by October 1st. All students will then be assigned a choreographer for their extra. 

Private lesson fees are set by the choreographers.  For this season the fees are as follows:

- Solo/Duet/Trio's will have a fee of $65.00/hour long lesson paid at the beginning of each lesson. These fees are paid directly to the choreographer.

- Each student should expect to have an average of  3 lessons of choreography per piece. 

- Competition and Costume fees are are not included in the choreography fees.

- The student can choose which competitions they wish to attend and which costume they choose to use and/or order under the guidance and approval of their choreographer.

- Choreographers will do their best to clean each piece prior to competition(s)/performances, rehearse each piece before stage time at competitions(s)/performances, as well as put each piece on stage at all competition(s)/performances. If the choreographer can not be present they will do their best to provide a suitable replacement to support the student. 

- The student will require a mobile device to record the choreography at the end of each lesson.

- If a student needs a piece re-choreographed because they forgot and/or lost the previous lesson's video the rate is $65.00/hour. 

-Those students that choose to do extras must be prepared to practice/rehearse on their own in between choreography lessons, schedule any needed rehearsals with the choreographer, as well as possibly practice themselves before a performance if a situation arises. ​

-Choreography lessons are between the student(s) and the instructors only unless a parent/guardian is invited into the studio space during lesson time.

TDC will register student's extras into the festivals they choose and charge their accounts accordingly. There is a studio administration fee of $15/per solo/duet/trio. The administration fee will need to be submitted by October 1st along with the registration form.

Please plan to attend the Solo/Duet/Trio Costume Night at the Studio (watch your email for details) as it is at that night that you can purchase a used costume or pick out a costume from a costume catalog. If you choose to buy a new costume from a catalog you will need to provide the studio with a $75.00 deposit per costume that night. 

Genre options for extras are Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Acro, Lyrical, Modern, Musical Theatre, Pointe, Hip Hop. All genre's chosen by the dancer need to be approved by TDC Instructors. 

Please review the solo/duet portion within our Policies.
