Performance Dance Classes
Whether you are a beginner or advanced dancer, 3 years old to 60 years old, we have a performance opportunity for you. Teams work on choreography and perform at our showcases throughout the year. Some teams perform at corporate and community events. These courses are designed to enhance your dancing in all ways – technique, musicality, style, and presentation. At the end of each course you will be a more confident and skilled dancer, and you will be proud of your achievements.

GENERAL TUITION INFORMATION
Annual tuition is based on enrolment in a full dance season, not on the number of classes in any given month.
To make payments more manageable for families, tuition can be paid in one of the following ways:
Paid in full (September 1) - discounted
Two installments (September 1 and January 1) - discounted
10 equal monthly payments (September–June, 1st of every month)
Tuition fees include class instruction only and do not include:
Registration fee
Costume deposits
Performance tickets
Additional show or competition related costs (where applicable)
If registering for more than one class, the second class (or lower-priced class) receives a 20% discount.
Understanding Your Tuition Payments
Tuition at Saskatoon Salsa Dance Company is based on enrollment in a full dance season, not on the number of classes held in a particular month.
To make dance training more affordable and predictable for families, annual tuition is divided into 10 equal monthly payments from September through June.
This means monthly payments remain the same regardless of how many classes occur in a given month. Some months may include fewer classes due to holidays, studio events, or showcase preparation, while others may include additional instructional time.
Your monthly payment is an installment toward your annual tuition, not a payment for that specific month’s classes.
This approach allows families to budget consistently while ensuring students receive the full value of their dance education over the entire season.
Registration Fee
A one-time registration fee of $35 + GST per student/family applies.
This fee covers studio administration and processing costs.
Costume Fees
Costume deposits are due:
September 1
January 1
Fees per costume:
Recreational & adult teams: $120 + GST
Competitive teams: $150 + GST
Deposits go toward the total costume cost. Remaining balances will be invoiced approximately 2 weeks before each showcase.
NEW Performance Ticket Participation Policy
At Saskatoon Salsa Dance Company, our performances celebrate the hard work, dedication, and growth of our dancers. Producing a professional showcase involves significant costs including venue rental, technical production, lighting, sound, photography and videography, administration, marketing, and staffing.
To help support these productions while keeping training costs as accessible as possible, all performers are required to participate in ticket sales for each showcase.
Ticket Requirement
For each performance (June and December showcases), every performer/family is responsible for a minimum of four (4) tickets. You are not required to sell more if you have more than one family member at the school.
A ticket invoice will be issued approximately one month before the show and must be paid no later than one week prior to the performance date.
Additional Tickets
Additional tickets may be purchased or sold, subject to availability.
Opt-Out Option
If a performer does not wish to participate in ticket sales, an opt-out fee of $60 per show per family is available.
Opt-out participants will not receive tickets and will not be responsible for ticket sales. The opt-out fee is due by the same invoice deadline.
Why This Policy Exists
Our showcases rely on strong audience attendance to remain sustainable and successful. Ticket sales help offset production costs and ensure we can continue delivering high-quality performance opportunities.
Performers play an important role in building audience engagement and creating a vibrant, supportive community at each showcase.
Thank you for contributing to the success of our productions.
