When filling out the registration form you must enter a valid credit card or debit card to register. Your credit or debit card will not be charged automatically unless you have chosen option 1 as a payment plan or the tuition falls behind 30 days. If tuition falls behind 30 days and there has been no attempt to make a payment, Nicole Cote School of Dance will automatically debit or charge the account on file. There will be a late fee automatically added of $25.00 per month to the debit or charge on the account.

If the debit or credit card is declined there will be a $40 fee applied to the account and your dancer will not be able to participate.

If you choose the monthly payment plan, payments must be made by the 1st of every month no later than the 5th of every month to avoid a $25.00 late fee that is automatically applied to your account.

You may pay with cash or check by placing it in the studio lobby tuition box, mail payments to: 360 Brightwater Dr. SE Palm Bay, FL 32909, or you may make a payment using the portal off the studio website.

The monthly payment plan is for your convenience only. If your child has an illness or injury and cannot attend class temporarily, tuition is still expected to continue to hold your dancers spot as the tuition rates are based on the fiscal school year.

If you are enrolled in the monthly payment plan, you must give notice by the 20th of the month in order to discontinue lessons so that you will not be charged for upcoming months.

Missed classes must be made up within 2 weeks of the absence or forfeit the class. No refunds or credits are given for paid ahead classes.

Checks: There will be a $30.00 returned check fee.
