Tuition is due on the 7th day of each month (a $15.00 late fee will be applied to all tuition paid after the 7thday of the month). If an account is not current, the student is asked to sit / observe the class. Student absence does not change the due date of a payment. 

Absence Policy

If a student is absent two consecutive classes without notification to the Office Manager, they will automatically be withdrawn from the class roster. In order for a child to return, a new registration fee and any past due balance must be paid in full, prior to the student’s return to class. Monthly tuition will not be prorated due to absence of attendance.

Early Payment Discount 

You may receive Early Payment discount of $5.00 off monthly tuition if tuition is paid before the first day of each month. If we are closed on dates leading up to that first day of each month, due dates will not be affected. An early payment discount cannot be issued if there is an outstanding balance on the account. The account must be at a zero balance for an early payment discount to apply.

Forms of Payment accepted:

All account management must be handled online in order to restrict the number of people in the facility.

Pre-Authorized Credit Card Payment

You may fill out a credit card authorization form allowing us to process your credit card for tuition at the end of each month automatically giving you the early payment discount.  If a card is declined, the early payment discount does not apply.  You will be notified in order to take care of your account.

Online Payment (myprocare.com)

Tuition will be paid online 24/7 via myprocare.com. To register, go to myprocare.com and use the email address associated with your child’s account. All payments are time stamped and late fees still apply according to BBDP late fee policies. This service is available 24/7!

Recital Planning: 

B.B. Dance Productions is proud to always offer an unforgettable recital experience for our dancers. With that standard in mind, we will plan for the traditional show we always produced until COVID 19 mandates eliminated facility rentals and crowd gatherings. If conditions improve, we will move forth in that path. However, if indoor facilities are still unavailable, we will pursue other options such as outdoor venues. Beyond that point, if the grips of COVID guidelines still prohibit crowd numbers, we will find an alternate solution. To bring this past season to a close, we secured the stage design, special effects and professional lighting necessary to transform our building into a stage like setting. Once that important piece was in place, we were able to create a video production to commemorate the hard work of this unforgettable season. For our student’s, this performance opportunity is a highly rewarding experience and a highlight to their year. We will continue in that tradition as allowed by local and state restrictions.
