Tuition and Fees
At Blacksburg Dance Theater, our mission is to make dance accessible and affordable for everyone. To support this, we keep costume fees and recital charges low, and we offer flexible payment plans upon request to fit your family’s needs. If cost is a concern, please reach out! We’re here to help make dance possible for all who want to move with us.
