Non-production means that there will be an in class parent performance in Dec and in April.  There is no costume fee.  Committment for non production is atleast a semester (sept- dec) or (jan-april). 

Production means that these classes will be in our May production at the Nampa Civic center.    Production classes are a (sept-may) commitment and involves a cosutme fee per class, a t-shirt fee and tickets for the show. 

Dropping out before the session is over (production or non production) will result in a cancellation fee, a minimun of the following month's tuition, up to half of what is owed for remaining semester.
Withdrawing requries a written notice and why.
Your comittment is important to ensure class numbers and stability of the class. We do our best to be understanding of situations, while protecting our ability to provide quality teachers and class instruction.
