Full Regionals Rates
When you submit a pre-season RSVP with a $1,000 deposit by 12/1, your spot is guaranteed in your selected event and you qualify for the lowest rates / largest discount when the remaining fees are paid by the City Deadline Date. This deposit is non-refundable, non-transferable, and is recommended to be paid online via credit card or ACH payment. Studio Credits are not accepted as a form of deposit payment. We do not recommend sending deposit payments by mail as the events sometimes fill while payments are in route.
We also accept RSVPs without deposits for those who wish to let us know your plans to attend. However, unpaid RSVPs do not guarantee or reserve space in an event. We will do our best to notify you when the event is nearing capacity, but it is possible that a large number of pre-season deposits may submit in a short period of time causing the event to sell out before we are able to send out notifications. Since most of our events do sell out, we recommend submitting your deposit as soon as your plans to attend are confirmed.
If you submit a RSVP and/or entry data at any point in the season that is not accompanied by a deposit, our staff may reach out to let you know that a partial payment must be submitted in order to be included in the schedule. Please know that this is intended to prevent last-minute full-studio withdrawals and eliminate no-shows within released schedules.
Entry information is always due by the event registration deadline date, 42 days (6 weeks) prior to event start date. Exact deadline dates for each regional event may be found on the 2025 Tour Page or in the studio online account.
