Fee Schedule
Innovative Movement Dance Company offers what I like to call an a la carte approach. With so many of the students wanting to be involved in many activities; such as dance team, cheerleading, soccer, etc., this approach allows them to take class, have a choice as to how many and is at a cost that is affordable. You create your own package!
For more information, please contact Christy Fisher.
Checks/Cash are also accepted forms of payment.
