and Financial Aid

Alabama Dance Works a 501-c3 non- profit and it is our mission to make sure dance is accessible to all.

 

In an effort to make sure dance can be affordable, our tuition runs on a sliding scale. If you are in need of financial tuition assistance, please contact the office for a tuition plan that fits your families needs. 

​

We also aim to provide financial aid each season. Our tuition scholarship application is due August 1st to be considered for the 2024-2025 class season. 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% tuition scholarships are awarded based on financial need and a dancers commitment/potential!
