Payment Info

HDC families may access registration, class information, account balances, charges, and payment activity through the HDC Parent Portal powered by Jackrabbit.
For account questions, please contact accounts@hdcdance.com.
Families needing to discuss a payment arrangement or financial hardship should contact the HDC office as soon as possible so available options can be discussed privately.
Payments are applied to the oldest outstanding balance on the family account first. If an account has an existing unpaid balance, a payment submitted for a newer charge may first be applied toward the older outstanding balance.

For the 2026-27 dance season, tuition is based on a 10.5-month season for both Recreational and Company dancers.
Tuition is due on the 1st of each month and must be set up for automatic payment through the HDC Parent Portal beginning September 1, 2026.
Monthly tuition will be processed between the 1st and 10th of each month using the credit card, debit card, or bank/ACH account designated for automatic payment in the Parent Portal.
Families enrolled in automatic tuition payments by bank account draft/ACH will receive a $10 monthly tuition discount.
A $22 late fee will be applied to accounts with unpaid tuition after the 10th of the month and will continue to be assessed each month until the account is brought current.
A $35 fee will be charged for any returned payment, including NSF checks or unsuccessful electronic payments.
Families are responsible for maintaining a valid payment method and updating their payment information in the Parent Portal if it changes.

Additional fees may apply depending on a dancer's program and participation, including recital, costumes, Company participation, competition, convention, choreography, specialty routines, props, and other program-related expenses.
Exact fees vary by program and participation. Families should refer to the appropriate current program materials, Parent Agreement, or Recital page for applicable details.

Company competition and convention fees are separate from monthly tuition and are due according to the current Company payment schedule.
HDC submits registrations and payments to outside competitions and conventions according to each event's deadlines. Families are responsible for submitting applicable fees to HDC by the communicated due date so dancers can be entered on time.
If required fees are not received before HDC submits registration, HDC may be unable to register the dancer for the applicable event. Late registrations, when permitted by the event, may also be subject to additional fees charged by the competition or convention.

Outside choreography fees may be paid by cash or check with no processing fee.
Payments made by credit card will include a 3.9% processing fee.

Accounts must remain in good standing.
Families with past-due balances should contact HDC promptly to discuss their account and, when appropriate, an approved payment arrangement.
Participation in classes, rehearsals, performances, competitions, conventions, costume distribution, or other HDC activities may be affected when an account becomes significantly delinquent or an agreed-upon payment arrangement is not maintained.
Company families should refer to the current Company Parent Agreement for any additional Company-specific delinquency requirements.

Monthly tuition and fees associated with services already provided or expenses already committed by HDC may be nonrefundable.
Costume, competition, convention, choreography, specialty routine, and similar third-party expenses may become nonrefundable once HDC has committed payment or submitted registration on a dancer's behalf.
Any refund availability associated with an outside event is also subject to the policies of that organization.

Families wishing to discontinue enrollment must follow HDC's current withdrawal procedures.
Families remain responsible for tuition and any applicable fees or expenses incurred through the dancer's effective withdrawal date, including expenses HDC has already committed or paid on the dancer's behalf.
Company families should refer to the current Company Parent Agreement for additional Company withdrawal responsibilities, including any applicable costume, competition, choreography, or routine-related expenses.

Updated statements will be available on your jackrabbit account, which you can access at any time. We will no longer be emailing out regular monthly statements. Please allow 24-72 hours for new payments to be reflected on your jackrabbit account.

We accept competition payments in the form of cash, check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, or AMEX. When writing a check, always write in the memo section or include a note that clearly indicates how the payment is to be applied. The check or money order needs to be made payable to Havilah Dance Company.

Any fee related to your student's dance education and participation in the Company program that is paid after the due date will be assessed a late fee. NO EXCEPTIONS. However, we allow a grace period of 5 days, unless otherwise noted. After the grace period, late fees will be assessed and will vary depending on the specific charge. Please see below for details regarding late fee assessments:

2026-27 TUITION POLICY

1. For the 2026-27 dance season, tuition is based on a 10.5-month season for both Recreational and Company dancers.
2. Tuition is due on the 1st of each month and must be set up for automatic payment through the HDC Parent Portal beginning September 1, 2026.
3. Monthly tuition will be processed between the 1st and 10th of each month using the credit card, debit card, or bank/ACH account designated for automatic payment in the Parent Portal.
4. Families enrolled in automatic tuition payments by bank account draft/ACH will receive a $10 monthly tuition discount.
5. A $22 late fee will be applied to accounts with unpaid tuition after the 10th of the month and will continue to be assessed each month until the account is brought current.
6. A $35 returned payment fee will be charged for any returned payment, including NSF checks or unsuccessful electronic payments.

1. Costume Fees: A late fee of 5% of the total costume balance will be added to the total costume charge for each month that a costume payment is late.
2. Participation & Prop Fees: A $25 one-time late fee will be assessed for any late participation or prop fee.
3. Entry Fees: Many competitions assess late fees for late entries; therefore, we must pass those charges on to our clients. We will pay all competition entry fees 45-60 days prior to the event in order to guarantee placement in the competitions we have selected and avoid late fees.
4. If your dancer's entry fees have not been received by the date we register for the competition, we will not be able to enter them. If you pay the entry fees after we have registered, we cannot guarantee placement in the competition, particularly for solos. However, if we are able to register your student at that point, you may be assessed a late fee by the competition.
5. This is why we have provided a payment schedule and timeline. By following the schedule, we can ensure that your student can be entered into competitions when registration is required and that no late fees are assessed.
6. AUTODRAFT: If you choose to sign up for our Autodraft program and elect to have ALL charges autodrafted, you will not be assessed any late fees for the course of the year. If you choose to have only a portion of your fees autodrafted-for example, just tuition or just costume fees-then late fees will only be waived for those specific charges.

If you refer someone to the studio and they sign up for regular classes, a $10 credit will be put on your account. Please ask the person filling out the registration form to put your name on the form OR ask them to indicate that you referred them to the person working the front desk.
