Tuition
Tuition is based on an entire season of dance. For 2025-2026, our season will run from August 18th through Recital (Mid-May). All dancers are required to pay for the entire season. If you enroll mid-season, we will prorate your tuition based on when you begin dancing with us. Tuition is based on hours taken per week . It is not based on the number of classes in a month or on attendance. There is NO refund for missed classes as there are make-up classes offered.
You may pay the entire season in full or pay it in installments. Installments are due the 1st of each month (Sept 2025 - May 2026) and will be automatically billed to the card on file on the 1st of each month.

Costume Fees
Generally, between $125-$150 per routine performed in our recital. The initial $125 costume deposit will be charged to your card on file on January 15, 2026 (up to 2 costumes per dancer). If your dancer is in more than 2 routines, an additional deposit for the remaining costumes will be billed February 17, 2026. Final costumes/prop fees (if applicable) will be billed the first week of April.
Once costume deposits are paid and/or ordered, we cannot offer any refunds. This fee does not include any dance shoes, tights, makeup, hair products, or undergarments your child may need for the routine and/or for classes, but it DOES include tights, accessories, a garment bag for your dancer, and administrative time to prepare each look.
All costumes are thoughtfully chosen to fit our recital theme, and many are customized with embellishments to make them extra special. We strive to keep these costs as low as possible while ensuring your dancer feels confident and stage-ready!
Recital Fees
There will be a $175 recital fee assessed per dancer to cover venue expenses, administrative work, $30 ticket credit, a recital t-shirt, a recital video, a program, a dancer certificate, and a dancer trophy for the recital. This fee will be auto drafted on November 15, 2025 (or at the time of registration if after Nov. 15. We will also offer various OPTIONAL recital packages Spring 2026.
Recital Tickets
Recital tickets will be sold through a 3rd party vendor and pricing will depend on seat selection. Each dancer receives a $30 credit as part of their recital fee. More information about tickets will be sent out Spring 2026 in our recital packet.
A Very Vale Christmas Performance & Sparkle Parties
At Sunnyvale Dance Academy, we believe in creating magical, joy-filled experiences for our dancers and families—especially during the holiday season. That’s why we are proud to offer our "A Very Vale Christmas" mid-year show and our festive Christmas Sparkle Parties with no additional performance or participation fees. These special events are our gift to you—an opportunity for dancers to shine, celebrate, and share their progress with loved ones without the worry of extra costs. We aim to make the season feel extra bright and memorable while keeping things simple, fun, and stress-free for families.
A Sunny Soiree- Our Annual Banquet
At the end of each season, we love coming together as a dance family to celebrate all of the hard work, growth, and unforgettable memories from the year. "A Sunny Soirée" is our annual end-of-year banquet filled with dinner, dancing, and special awards to recognize our amazing dancers and their accomplishments. This joyful evening is all about community, celebration, and connection—honoring the journey we’ve taken together. While there is a small ticket cost to help cover the event, we keep it as low as possible to ensure it’s accessible for everyone. Tickets will be required for entry, and more details will be shared closer to the event. It’s truly one of our favorite nights of the year—and a beautiful way to wrap up the season!
