Semesters
There are three semesters per year in addition to summer programs. Tuition each semester will vary according to the number of weeks in that session.

Tuition
Tuition is payable in full at registration. Payment plans may be available for students attending more than one class per week or for a family with more than one student attending. There are NO TUITION REFUNDS (except in the case of physical impairment, requiring a doctor's note). No credit is given for missed classes.  There is a one time registration fee for new students of $25.00

Payment
Payment can be made by check or cash. Credit cards payments are not available.

Scholarships
A limited number of merit and need-based scholarships are available to intermediate and advanced level students.  The number of awards available is dependent upon the amount of money which has been contributed to the Oregon Ballet Foundation scholarship fund in any given year. An application form is available through the office. Careful consideration will be given to all requests.  Scholarship students will be assigned work-study chores.

Promotion
Each dancer progresses at an individual rate. The age requirements accompanying each level are guidelines only. Students will be notified by their instructor when they are ready to move up to the next level of training.

Make-Up Classes
Students are encouraged to make-up missed classes. Make-up classes may be done in the same level or one level lower than the registered class. Discuss with office to schedule. Tuition is not pro-rated for missed classes.

Attire
Girls: Black leotard, pink tights, pink leather ballet slippers. No jewelry, skirts, sweaters or leg-warmers are permitted. Hair in a bun. Boys: Black tights, white T-shirt, white socks, white or black ballet slippers.

Performances
Our annual Spring Concert is held towards the end of the school year, as theater availabilty permits.  Participation is not mandatory.  Costume fees typically run no more than $50, and dancers keep their costumes.  In the Fall, partnered with Oregon Ballet Foundation, we do a classic children's production such as the Nutcracker (2006. 2008), Sleeping Beauty (2008) and Swan Lake (Nov. 28, 29, 2009).  Typically there will be a participation fee, but costumes are the property of the Foundation so that they can be used in future productions.  Participation in performances is contingent upon adequate attendance.

Class Observation
Parents are welcome (but not required) to stay and observe class.  A viewing window is available.  We ask that visitors be respectful by keeping conversation and children quiet in the lobby area while classes are in session.

School Closings
OBA will close for 4j Spring Break, Memorial Day, July 4th, and Thanksgiving weekend
