What is the payment Schedule?
Rehearsals: Payments for rehearsals are due before the first scheduled date.
Reoccurring rehearsals: (scheduled weekly or daily) must be paid monthly or as one lump sum for the contracted rehearsal time. CDE will send you an invoice that will have dates and times that you have contracted for rehearsals. You will be charged for rehearsals if you cancel in less than 48 hours, if there is an emergency, severe illness, or other reason, this may be waived.
Performances: a $200 deposit is due at the time of signing of the contract with the balance at the end of the contract time. For single day contracts a $100 deposit is due at the time of signing of the contract with the balance at the end of the contract time. CDE will send to you a separate performance contract agreement.
Pay fees on time to avoid a $50 late fee, and if payment is not made 30 days past the due date, the Agreement becomes null and void.
