Clear answers for registration, tuition, performances, and the parent portal.

Yes. Families should start with registration so the studio can review age, experience, schedule interest, and class readiness before tuition is activated.

KFortier Studios uses a placement-first process so families do not accidentally purchase the wrong tuition plan. Staff confirms the dancer's level and weekly class load before payment setup opens.

Yes. The parent portal is being designed so one parent account can manage registration, approved placements, tuition readiness, and resources for multiple dancers in the same family.

That is expected. Submit the registration with the dancer's age, background, and schedule interests. Staff will review the details and recommend the appropriate class path.

No payment is due during the first registration submission. Tuition setup opens after the registration has been reviewed and the appropriate class path has been approved.

Tuition is based on the total number of classes a dancer takes per week. The current structure supports monthly autopay and annual prepayment options after approval.

Yes. Monthly autopay is the default payment option through the parent portal. Online checkout will open once our payment setup is finalized.

Some rules still need final confirmation, including sibling discounts, registration fees, late fees, recital fees, costume fees, and other one-time charges.

Students enrolled through KFortier Studios may have opportunities to perform in Ballet Apetrei's Nutcracker each December, depending on level, readiness, rehearsal needs, and casting.

Yes. KFortier Studios students traditionally participate in a May recital, giving dancers a formal performance goal connected to their weekly class training.

Public pages should keep performances visible for prospective families and supporters. Family-specific logistics such as rehearsals, costume notes, and call times should live in the parent portal.

KFortier Studios is the school. Ballet Apetrei is the connected nonprofit ballet company that gives young dancers additional performance opportunities and brings fine performances and guest artists to the community.

The ArtWalk is an art gallery and performance space connected to the studio, creating room for visual, performing, and musical artists to work, perform, and show.

No. KFortier Studios tuition belongs to the school side, while Ballet Apetrei memberships, sponsorships, donations, and scholarship support belong to the nonprofit side. Those payment paths should remain clearly separated.
