We do NOT offer the ability to "TRY BEFORE YOU BUY" - but you may Watch a Class without signing up!
We want to ensure that you are signing your child up for classes that they enjoy and benefit from, however, due to liability concerns we can not allow a child to participate in any of our classes or programs without first registering with our studio and signing our waiver and contract agreement.
However, we are always happy to give in person tours and schedule the ability for a new student and parent to watch a class before signing up!
Fall Season begins in September and thru October 13th will allow students to view any class once without having to commit to the entire season at no charge (provided that there is still space in that class for more students).
Please register online and select the class(es) your child is interested in even if it is full and get added to the wait list. Once we have at least 4 students on the wait list for any one class we can then potentially add another class onto the schedule to accommodate those wait listed students.
NOTE: The summer schedule is much shorter and also provides and excellent time for students to try out different dance styles for a shorter term in advance to committing to the full 9 month Fall season and recital.

- cost for dance bag, warm ups, etc (not required, but some parents chose to purchase and others do not)
- cost for travel time to and from the studio each week for class, for dress rehearsal(s) and for the show(s)
- at home some children become quite dedicated and long term want to practice at home and will ask parents to purchase floor mats, construct portable tap floors, or install a ballet barre in a basement....all of which can be an added cost, but can provide priceless amounts of benefits for your child(ren) as well

NOTE: We are not the "cheapest" NOR the most "expensive" option around.
We realize this and want to ensure you understand what you are paying for with an "apples to apples" comparison:
When cost comparing please keep in mind that you can save 10% per student per month if you are enrolling siblings.
1. Our goal is to educate your child while enriching their life....which to us is Priceless!
2. Our instructors are all adults. We do not allow students to instruct classes, but we do offer opportunities for students to be a student helper and assist a class.
3. For the Fall season - we run a 9 month season and therefore our annual early pay 5% discount is applied to 9 months where some studios only run 8 months.
4. We provide parents a detailed list of all fees and costs associated with our dance season as mentioned above, so there are no surprise fees and no lump sum payments for costumes due all at once. We spread all of your costs out over the entire 9 month season so you can pay a flat rate and budget accordingly.
5. Unlike ANY other studio around our area, we are providing a 6000 sq ft facility complete with
cleaning, maintenance, refilling, etc. Our owner has done her best not to pass a large portion of these costs on
to you, but instead mere dollars per month for these added amenities.
6. We are not ONLY a dance studio, but strive to offer products, services and events that can benefit our entire community, adults of all ages and children with special needs. You will find our staff and owner donating their time, services and more throughout the year at various local organizations such as
7. Our facility feels more like a home, and our students more like our family. We strive to be all inclusive and ensure that everyone feels a part of the CMI dance family. It is also for this reason that we are a NO DRAMA studio and require all of our STUDENTS, PARENTS & STAFF to be kind, be thoughtful, be courteous and refrain from any type of negative or rude behavior towards anyone at any time. We are a learning environment - which requires structure and stability just as much as it requires encouragement and accolades.
8. We offer an ALL INCLUSIVE FLAT RATE COSTUME & PERFORMANCE FEE PROGRAM - no hidden fees or lump sums!!
This means that we handle all measurements, ordering, fittings, alterations, provide hangers, steam/press AND include an instruction sheet and accessory bag with all costumes. This fee also includes tights, hair pieces and any other costume accessories needed for their performance.
9. We offer a retail store inside our studio with essentials such as dance shoes, leotards, dance shorts, bun helpers and more - typically at a fraction of the cost of other local dancewear stores. We also offer the ability to order in most any dancewear item, including shoes, from all of the most popular brands (Bloch, Capezio, etc). In addition, our boutique offers lots of products from local vendors for the entire family (such as soaps, candles, clothing, jewelry, snacks & food and more!)
10. We offer a Competitive Dance Team like many other studios do, however, the competition team is not the focus of our studio and our Recreational students make up more than 90% of our studio enrollment. While we encourage participation in the competition team, we do not require students to participate in the team if they wish to take unlimited classes (like some other studios do).
11. We provide dance, acro, cheer, voice, acting, production and musical theatre classes all as part of our scheduled classes and all in the same facility. Most dance studios only offer dance, acro and maybe cheer....but we have brought together a widely talented staff to be able to provide all of these skills in one studio. Any student looking to improve their performance skills has an opportunity to learn, thrive and perform through our facility.
12. We provide fundraising opportunities to our ENTIRE STUDIO several times throughout the Fall season to help you raise funds to pay for class tuition, recital fees, etc. (No refunds or cash value.)...see details about our past fundraisers below!

Studio Wide Fundraising Opportunities - FALL SEASON ONLY
All fundraising will be sales organized and offered through the studio where a percentage of each item sold will be credited towards the child's account whom sold them. (No refunds or cash value for any funds earned.)
We will sell items for several weeks and collect the order forms with prepayment at the studio. Dates the following month for picking up the items you sell at the CMI studio will be scheduled in advance. When you pick up the items you sold, your account will be credited the amount due to you. We will offer TWO fundraising opportunities in the 2022-2023 season for any student to participate in.
WE ARE CURRENTLY PLANNING OUR 2023-2024 FUNDRAISERS AND WILL ANNOUNCE THOSE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FALL SEASON - BELOW ARE EXAMPLES OF OUR FUNDRAISERS FROM LAST SEASON!!!
Fundraiser #1 - In 2022-2023 season - Fun Pasta Fundraising (completely online and shipped direct to the purchaser - so nothing to handle!) This past year was a HUGE SUCCESS - as we sold $3500+ (which was well over our $3K goal) and our students earned over $1200 which will be credited to their accounts in November.
Fundraiser #2 - Kellis Kettlecorn - Selling JAN 23 thru FEB 12 - was another huge success with over $3000 in popcorn sold again this year!
Again - these are not required participation and none of them are exactly "set in stone" - but any student enrolled in any classes during the Sept-May dance season will be eligible to participate in one or all of these fundraising opportunities. Emails will be sent to all students enrolled when each of these event details becomes available.
2024 Drama & Voice Classes DO NOT fall under the 2023-2024 monthly class tuition rates.
Instead - these classes only operate for 8 weeks and will begin in March, and therefore are charged a separate fee structure of $58 per month , which includes your costume RENTAL fee and a performance fee for the Showcase.
If you are a student that is currently enrolled in any of our 2022-2023 Fall Dance/Acro/Cheer classes and have already paid the one time annual registration fee, you will NOT be charged an additional registration fee.
ALL NEW STUDENTS who are ONLY enrolled in one or both of these 8 week long classes will be charged a one time registration fee of $30 per student, $45 for siblings or $60 for families enrolling 3 or more students.
NOTE: NO REFUNDS. All contracts, terms and conditions still apply as in our annual contract (which you sign and agree to when registering with our studio online). Once you register for these classes, you sign our contract and are responsible for all charges thru May when the Showcase is held, regardless of how many classes your student attends.
