Dancers who are currently full-time students at NBT may sign up for weekly Summer Intensive sessions, either Half or Full Day. Can I sign up at the last minute? You can if space is available. You must sign up for a week minimum and you will charged the full rate. Is there a daily drop-in rate? No. Due to the need to know in advance how many students will be participating each week, daily drop-ins are not possible. The Portal doesn't show the discounted rate. The discount will be applied to your monthly statement. Why do you require a deposit, how much is it, and is it refundable if our plans change? The deposit allows us to plan for and contract professional guest teachers. The deposit is not a registration fee and goes toward your tuition. The weekly deposit is $50 per week for a maximum of $200. The session and full season deposits are $200. Your deposit is 100% refunded up until June 1st. Why should I register early? Registering early will give you a discounted tuition for the Summer Intensive program. It also helps us determine our instructor needs based on the number of students that will be attending. What if I can't afford to pay for the whole thing right away? Payments can be divided up monthly, with the last payment due August 1, 2023. Please reach out for payment arrangements. What other class options will be available this summer if my child is not ready or interested in the Summer Intensive program? NBT will run a reduced class schedule in Wolfeboro and Dover. We will also offer a couple of specialty camps for younger children. Please watch for announcements. Where are the Summer Intensive classes held? Summer Intensive classes will be held only at the Dover studio. To assist students coming from the Wolfeboro area, transportation will be available for a slight fee.
