Additional Costs That May Incur
In addition to your tuition, you can expect the following fees listed below. This is a full and complete list of what to expect, no hidden or unexpected fees here. Please note that some sections may be geared more towards dancers participating in our Spring Recital; if you are in our Summer or Winter Sessions, information may vary. Also note that these fees are spread out throughout the year and will not all happen at once. Please contact the studio with any questions.
Registration Fees cover the creation and maintenance of your family account throughout the year. Registration fees are $25 for your first student, and $10 for each additional student on your account.
Registration Fees
We recommend ordering dance shoes through the dance studio, as shoe sizing can be tricky. We exchange shoes free of charge in order to get the perfect fit for your student. Dance shoes can be $25-$45 per pair. Please contact the studio or refer to our dress code below if you have any questions about what shoes you will need.
Shoes
Costumes are $85 plus tax per costume for our annual Spring recital. (This is for dancers a part of our Spring and Fall Sessions) Included in the costume fee is a high-quality dance costume made by dance costume-specific companies, designed to stretch and move with the students effortlessly while looking beautiful onstage.
Also included in the costume fee is tights, a garment bag, a hanger, any accessories that come with the costume, as well as the administrative work of ordering costumes, such as sizing the students, processing the orders, exchanging sizes when necessary, and organizing, sorting, and altering costumes to be given to you!
Costumes
Recital Fees are $40 for your first student, with $15 for each additional student, for our annual Spring recital. (This is for dancers a part of our Spring and Fall Sessions) This includes all professionally shot videography and live photography from the recital.
Recital Fees
Additional optional Items throughout the year are offered. The Dance Studio sells super cute logo wear at least once a year and is always offering new dancewear for students to purchase to feel their best in class! Other special offers we have are lovely recital gifts, done-for-you dance-themed Christmas gifts, themed recital keepsake t-shirts, and more. We often attend special events such as Dance performances we travel to see, workshops, dance conventions, dance camps, our annual Picture Day in recital costuming, studio parties, and studio outings like our roller skating night out. Show tickets are also sold; the amount you choose to get is optional! Full information is released throughout the year as each of these events and specials are made available.
Optional Items
With no hidden or unexpected fees, we understand this list can be a lot to digest! If you have any further questions, we would love to help. Please contact us here. We would also love to help you find the best class option within your family's budget. Whether that's a mini session class, a Winter or Spring Session, or our full year. Crazy Moves does not just provide incredible dance education; we also provide smart family financial planning!
Additional Policies at Crazy Moves Dance Studio
-
Crazy Moves Dance Studio offers a flexible absence policy. Absences are going to naturally happen throughout the year. We want students to make it to important events like concerts, award ceremonies, birthday dinners, and special family vacations.
We just ask that students don’t miss up to 3 classes in a row; after 3 missed classes in a row, students are eligible to be dropped from the class. Regular attendance at dance classes supports consistent pacing for all students in progressive skills learned in dance classes. Too many absences can hinder this flow.
For absences, we do not pro-rate or refund, as families are responsible for any missed classes.
Have additional questions? Contact us here.
-
When the Yale Public School District has a snow day, cold day, or an early release due to weather, Crazy Moves will be closed. To compensate for these few days, we do not charge tuition for June. Parents are guaranteed, by Crazy Moves, a minimum of 40 classes will be held throughout the school year, in our Fall Session. This count begins on Crazy Moves Dance Studio’s first week of classes, regardless if your student joins classes at a later date. 40 class guarantee does not apply to Winter Showcase Session, Spring Recital Session, Summer Camp(s), or Summer Sessions.

We want students to feel comfortable and confident within the classroom at Crazy Moves, for the safety of our students, we’ve developed the following guidelines for our dress code.
Students are welcome to wear what they feel comfortable moving in, with the following exceptions:
No denim
No flare pants.
No pants that are long enough to trip on.
No baggy clothing that prohibits the instructor from being able to determine correct form.
Hair must be up in either a ponytail, bun, braids, or pigtails. As long as it is up and out of their face, we do not mind the hairstyle.
It is our recommendation that students wear a leotard and tights to every class. This is a “special dance outfit”, which will mentally prepare them for dance class. It also provides us with the ability to assess their form and give detailed guidance.
Shoes
Tap Classes:
Students need black tap shoes that are no-tie, so these can be slip-on or Velcro. Eight and up classes have the same shoe dress code, but we recommend them getting slip-on split sole tap shoes as they become more advanced.
Ballet Classes:
For students under 8 years old, Pink, full-sole, leather ballet slippers. For students 8 and older, Pink, split-sole, leather ballet slippers.
Many ballet shoes have laces to tighten the shoe around the student's foot. Once you have this tightened around your student's foot, tie 2 simple knots to the desired tightness and cut off excess strings. Ballet shoes do not need to be tied like tennis shoes, in a bow-like form; little ones often get distracted by untying them or playing with the strings. Cutting them short will prevent this.
Lyrical/Modern Classes:
Nude half-sole shoes, otherwise known as “Turners”. As they get more advanced, this may change to barefoot or socks, at the teacher‘s discretion.
Jazz Classes:
Black leather jazz shoes
Hip-Hop/Poms:
Black sparkle, tennis shoes. These can only be bought through the studio as we purchase them through a costume company.
Pointe shoes:
Please reference point dance requirements.
-
Parents/Guardians of students are able to watch classes through our large, beautiful picture window in the lobby and our clear glass door.
We have a lobby space with chairs, a coffee table, and toys for siblings.
