About Us:
We would like to welcome you to Michelle Ferraro’s Dance USA, one of the most prestigious dance studios on Long Island. Our dance studio has been established since 1993. We have devoted ourselves to building a studio of excellence and dedication to dance education, in a fun and loving atmosphere. We have a wonderful staff that is dedicated to giving each and every student the personal attention that they deserve. In order to achieve this, we limit class size so that all of our students are able to really get thorough training, not only in dance steps but dance terminology as well. We have class viewing the first week of every month and we encourage parents to watch their children’s development throughout the year. Our dance studio is beautiful and spacious. We have five dance rooms with specially designed floors that inhibit injury. We have a girls and boys locker room and 2 bathrooms for convenience. Dance USA offers classes in all areas of dance to students ranging from 2 years of age through adults.

We follow the school year, so your tuition is based on a 10 month year. All tuition is due by the 10th of the month. If we do not receive your payment by the 11th there will be a $15 late fee added to your account. If you do not pay it with your monthly tuition, it will then be added to your next months payment. We accept cash, checks, & credit ( visa, MasterCard, or discover). All checks can be made out to MF Dance USA. We also offer automatic payments for your convenience which will be charged the first Friday of the month to avoid all late fees.

At registration we require that your first and last months tuition be paid along with the registration fee. The registration fee is due once a year and is NON-REFUNDABLE. If for some reason you discontinue class, your last months tuition is refundable as long as you have no other balances at the studio. No refunds or credit will be given for missed classes. A credit will only be given if the student is ill or injured.

Make up classes are a courtesy of the studio. If for some reason a student is absent from class, they need to ask THE TEACHER which class they can make up in. You are still responsible for your regular monthly tuition whether the student makes up the class or not. WE DO NOT issue credit for classes that are not made up. After February, we do not offer make up classes because classes start working on their recital routines. If the studio closes for inclement weather, it will be on our answering machine, or website.

We have monthly newsletters on the website to let you know any information from the studio.The newsletters are posted in the lobby of the dance studio as well.  It is very informative and alleviates a lot of questions.

We offer all of our students the chance to participate in our annual dance recital in June (with the exception of our Tiny Tot students). Tiny tots recital have their recital at the studio. For the rest of the students, our recital will be held at a local High School. Participating in the recital is not mandatory, but we encourage all of our students to show off what they learned all year.

Any student that participates in the annual recital will be required to purchase a recital costume for their class. A $50 costume deposit is required before the Christmas Break or your costume WILL NOT be ordered. We measure students starting in October, during class. All costumes are NON REFUNDABLE. Costume companies do not allow us to cancel orders, so once you pay the deposit, you are responsible for any balances, if there is a costume balance. Costumes will not be handed out unless the full balance is paid.
