What costs are involved?
1. Tuition, Fees & Discounts
Magnify is a family-based dance ministry that wants to see dancers develop their skills to bring glory to God. We provide family and multiple class discounts to make dance more accessible.
Our tuition rates are the same as last year, but you will see we have added additional rates to accommodate some students with longer classes and will not total 3 or 4 hours for the week but rather 3.25 (as an example). This primarily affects students who are taking level 2+, 3 or 4 classes. The tuition range is the same but now more detailed to make sure you are getting the extra instruction. In many cases, this means less classes but nearly the same amount of instruction — so dance time remains strong & there will be LESS COSTUME FEES! Tuition is still a commitment for the ENTIRE DANCE SEASON. WE DO NOT OFFER MONTH-TO-MONTH CLASSES. Our commitment to your students is not month-to-month and our commitment to our excellent instructors is for the whole dance season. Tuition can be paid in full up front or in 10 INSTALLMENTS for your convenience. Tuition is due on the first of every month during the dance season. All accounts with balances after the 5th will be assessed a $15 late fee.
Remember, ministry teams are stand alone classes and are not eligible for the discounted rates below.

What is your attendance policy?
2. Attendace
Attendance is VITAL to the success of our students. We realize that conflicts arise but we ask that students try not miss more than two classes per semester. Failure to regularly attend class will cause students to fall behind and teachers will be unable to go back to catch up a student who has a history of being absent or tardy.
We WANT our students to be successful and that requires REGULAR attendance. We begin working on technique in August that will build on itself and allow students to flourish as the year progresses.
Students may make up missed classes. Please contact [email protected] to
schedule a make up class. Missed classes must be made up within 30 days.
As the year progress attendance becomes even more important. If at all possible students should not after spring break. This is an important time for us to block and clean choreography. It also helps us insure that students remain safe.
Tech week is MANDATORY for the success and SAFETY of our students. Failure to attend rehearsals during tech week may result in removal.

What does my dancer wear?
3. Class Attire
Dancers should wear a black dance Leo, tights and appropriate shoes to all classes (Beginners thru L2 need to wear ballet pink tights. L3 and above classes can choose black or pink tights). Dancers may wear tight fitting black shorts or ballet skirt. NO BULKY clothes. It is important that we are able to see dancers knees and arms so that we can correct technique.
A black, light-weight warm up jacket can be worn during warm up if needed. Dance attire can be purchased at local dance stores such as Fancy Dancer (18351 TX-259) or Jazz Rags (25701 I45). All hair should be pinned down in a nice bun and secured to the head. Hair that is not pinned back can result in poor dance technique.
Adults can wear modest comfortable clothes they can move in.
We are so fortunate to partner with wonderful churches that open their doors to us. Please remind your dancer to dress modestly and bring clothes to pull on outside of the classroom. We want to respect the other ministries taking place.
