2025-2026 COMPETITION TEAM PARTICIPATION
The competition preparation season begins annually on April 1st. Determining the potential participation of an enrolled student in a competition (based on the student’s or their representative’s or parent’s proposal and in consultation with the Artistic Director), Fomkin Ballet Academy establishes a consistent monthly schedule for conducting private lessons. Private lessons are arranged through mutual agreement between the Fomkin Ballet Academy, the student, and their legal guardian or parent. Students interested in joining the Fomkin Ballet Academy Competition Team may inquire about the Competition Team Agreement.
Please take note of the following dress code for the audition:
– Girls should wear a leotard of any color, along with pink ballet shoes and tights.
Boys are expected to wear a solid-colored leotard or fitted T-shirt, black or grey tights, and black or white ballet shoes.
– Students who do not identify as male or female can choose from the above options.
– Please avoid wearing warm-ups, skirts, or baggy clothing.
The tuition rates for the 2025-2026 period reflect the total number of classes attended per week by all students, which is averaged over the period, excluding national holidays. The tuition remains the same regardless of the number of classes in a month. The payment is to be made monthly without exception.
A group must have at least four enrolled students to remain on the schedule. If a group is not completed, we will ensure that all the enrolled students are placed in another group at their level.
BALLET VAGANOVA 2, 3: Each person’s audition non-refundable fee is $40. The payment should be made before the audition. Attendance for the audition is limited to once.
The annual non-refundable registration fee for every student is $125.00. There is no annual registration fee for adult classes. The registration fee should be paid once the student enrolls to secure the spot.
The non-refundable registration fee for BALLET PERFORMANCE PARTICIPATION solely is $30.00. There is no additional registration fee for FBA-enrolled students. Space will be held for students upon payment of the registration fee.
Due to limited classroom space, Fomkin Ballet Academy does not offer make-up classes, credits, or refunds for missed classes. We also do not prorate tuition for missed lessons. Enrolling at the beginning of the school year ensures your place for the entire education period. However, tuition will be prorated by month for students enrolling mid-year.
TUITION and other FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
