Registration for classes begins the first week in August and the first week of January each semester. Students may register for any “Dance Training” class with the approval of an instructor. A registration fee payment of $20 is due at the beginning of each semester. (August & January) New students may only join class during the first 30 days of each semester unless the class is listed as an “Open” class (see schedule). Students over 18 years of age may drop in for open classes at anytime using their punch card. Students under 18 years of age must be registered in a class for an entire semester attending weekly classes. Payment for these classes is due on a monthly basis. Tuition payments may be paid in cash, check or credit/debit form, or post dated checks for the semester. A 10% discount will be applied to any tuition payment received in full for the entire semester. Please remember that tuition payments are to be received on a monthly basis by the 1st of each month. After 12am on the fifth day of the month a $35 late fee will be added to your payment. TBB will not “pro-rate” any tuition payments or offer refunds due to missed classes. It is the responsibility of the student to make up any missed classes within the current semester. Classes missed due to holidays are not included.

The purpose of the Pre-Professional Program is to allow serious students the opportunity to prepare for a professional career in dance. Admittance into the program is by audition only. Students are eligible to audition for pre-professional tracks at age 6. Auditions are held in the months of August and January, beginning each semester. Students accepted into pre-professional tracks are expected and must attend all required classes and complete the entire semester. Students of this program must refrain from exceeding excessive unexcused absences. Two or more unexcused absences per month could result in the student’s dismissal from the program. Illness, injury, death in the family and personal family matters are excused absences and are acceptable terms for early termination or withdraw from the program contract. Illness and injuries must be documented by a physician and presented to Tampa Bay Ballet to be released from contractual obligation of completing the semester. Tuition payments for the entire semester will be expected unless such an incident should occur.

Dance Training classes are open classes to all students beginner through advanced. Students do not have to audition for Dance Training classes. The only admission requirement is teacher approval for the classes. Students who are enrolled in these classes may choose to attend once, twice or three times per week. Students registered in the Dance Training Program are required to give 30 days notice in writing be fore withdrawing from the program.
