Studio Pricing


Below are the rates for classes and other services provided by the studio.  You can pay at the studio or online at the bottom of this page.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

Annual Membership Registration
Note: required of all students taking classes at the studio unless otherwise noted
$20 one time new membership fee, $10 annual renewal membership fee.

Complete/Choreography Classes
Complete/Choreography Classes are classes that run for a session (5 weeks - 1 class/week) and run continuously.  In that session a student learns technique as well as one dance choreography for the session.  You can sign up for a Complete class in person, contacting us at 704-510-5075 or send an email to us.  Please check out the class and schedule page for session details. 

NOTE:  Registration into a class is on a first come first serve basis and is confirmed with your class card payment.  You must sign up for a Complete/Choreography Class at the beginning of its session, or you must wait until the next session to join unless the instructor allows you in.  Spaces are limited.
  In the meantime you're welcome to participate in our specialty classes! 

Specialty Classes
A Specialty Class focuses on a particular part of bellydancing, whether it is a certain move, prop, or preparation.  The focus of a specialty class is subject to change at any time.  Specialty classes run continuously.  There are no choreographies learned in these classes.

Class Cards & Rates
A student can use their class card to customize their learning experience!  A student can use their class card for any class that corresponds to their dance level.  Please note that one class taken means one class is used on the class card.  Class cards do have an expiration date and there are no refunds.  Payments for purchasing class cards are listed below.

We now have a new card called the Unlimited Class Card.  The Unlimited Class Card will allow you to take any class in your level for a 5 week session for a flat fee of $75.  Unlike the 5-Class Card, you are not restricted to the number of classes you can take; you will be allowed to take all of the classes in your level that you desire within the 5 week session period.  If your Unlimited Class Card is purchased after the start of the 5-week session, you will be charged the pro-rated charge for the card (number of remaining days left in the 5-week session after week 1).  The Unlimited Class Card will have the same 5-week session schedule as the Complete Class. 

Please note that there are no adjustments in the Unlimited Class Card pricing for holidays, teacher workshop days or inclement weather.

Be advised that "Complete" classes still have a registration date so you must be sure to sign up for your level if interested when the time comes.  Check out the session schedule for details.

Attention Current Students - realize the power of a friend!  Invite a friend to sign up as a new member at the studio and received 20% off your next Unlimited Class card purchase!
