We try to make our decisions about cancellations by 1:00 pm. We will send out EMAIL to everyone when classes are canceled. To receive text message alerts regarding cancellations and closings, text CPACDANCE to 84483 for updates. Please like us on Facebook (CPAC – Columbia Performing Arts Centre) and follow us on Instagram (ColumbiaPerformingArtsCentre) to receive updates as well.

Any tuition balances remaining will incur a 10% monthly finance charge until the tuition fees are paid in full. All account balances must be paid in full by April 1st.

SPRING RECITAL COSTUME FEES ARE PAST DUE – LAST CHANCE!

2022 Spring Recital costume fees have been posted to all accounts. The Spring Recital performances are May 13-15, 2022. Please click 21-22 Spring Recital Performance List to view the breakdown of which classes perform in each performance.

At least one costume fee PER CHILD must be paid on or before December 1, 2021, in order to ensure your child’s participation in the May 2022 performances. Please note that hip-hop classes are not charged a costume fee because they do costumes on their own. Please login to your online account to make a payment or call our office at 441-1818 between 4:30 – 8:30 Monday through Thursday.

If you are declining recital participation, we must receive written notice at cpac@cpac-dance.com no later than December 1 to remove the costume fees charged.
