Dance Class Trials

If you are new to The Music Room, we offer up to two free trial classes for your dancer to try one of our classes or a specific dance style.  Our instructors will be able to offer placement recommendations upon completion of trials.  Please reach out to Jeannette DeGrave at dance@themusicroomtmr.com to set up a trial class.

Makeup Classes

If you need to schedule a makeup dance class, contact Jeannette DeGrave at dance@themusicroomtmr.com and she can help arrange that for you.

SBK Class Trials

If you are new to theatre and want to see what our SBK theatre program is all about, you may contact the SBK office and schedule an in-studio trial for one of our non-audition classes. Trial classes are free of charge. We close the classes to new participants about six weeks into each new show season. If you have experience and want to join an audition class, you must contact us by the end of September for the first show and by March for our second show. You must email sbk@themusicroomtmr.com with your actor’s name and age to reserve your class trial spot. SBK class trials are not confirmed until you are contacted by TMR Staff. If your actor wants to audition for one of our audition classes, we have auditions in early September. We hold a second audition for new SBK participants in early February. Email us at sbk@themusicroomtmr.com to get our on our email list for information on our Spring performance.

Billing Policies

All students are required to pay a registration fee each year, accompanied by a $45 Registration Fee for first student and $40 for subsequent students for general enrollment in all classes. 
Tuition will post to your account few days prior to the end of the month for the next month’s tuition. Families will be emailed once tuition has been posted. Tuition and applicable fees are due by the first of the month. TMR will run the autopayments on the first. Please log on to your account prior to the end of the month to verify your account charges look accurate and if you are not on autopay, make your payment (or plan to bring in a check/cash to the studio). A late fee of $15 may be assessed if not received by the 10th of the month.
The monthly flat rate will be billed, regardless of how many weeks are in that month. 
Dance tuition is paid from September to July. SBK & Recreational Aerial tuition is charged from September to June. (An actor can drop their SBK class in March if they are not doing the spring show or can join in late February if they did not do our winter show). Aerial Competition tuition is charged from August to February (or whenever the month of the last competition takes place).
TMR will only credit students for classes that have been canceled by TMR (unless they are rescheduled). 
In the event a student needs to drop a class, it must be dropped BEFORE the first of the month by emailing the studio at admin@themusicroomtmr.com or dance@themusicroomtmr.com. If we do not receive cancellation in writing, the tuition obligation must still be fulfilled for that month. A student notifying a teacher is not sufficient.
New dance students are encouraged to contact us at dance@themusicroomtmr.com to discuss enrollment options. All level 1 classes can be enrolled in. Other classes require placement. We can arrange for class trials.
