For families
Everything in one place, and searchable — rates, the calendar, what to wear, and how the studio runs.
Taken from SABA's studio policies packet. The packet currently on the website is the 2025-2026 edition, so please confirm dates with the office.
Discounts
Financial circumstances change, and we would far rather work with you than lose a student. Talk to the director about a payment plan or a different payment date. A limited number of scholarships are available — ask at sabaworkshops@gmail.com.
You can withdraw from any class with two weeks' notice by phone, email, or in person. Tuition adjusts from the 1st of the following month. We keep a rolling waiting list, so early notice genuinely helps another family.
There are no refunds for missed or canceled classes, and registration, costume, and competition fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Accounts can't be paused for holidays — but a student out more than two weeks for medical reasons or a family emergency can be placed on medical hold and not charged until they return. Contact the studio; without that conversation, billing continues.
The studio runs a nine-month calendar, excluding half of August, December, January, and May, and follows the San Angelo ISD calendar for holidays unless we say otherwise.
In severe weather we consult SAISD and the media. If conditions make it unsafe, we'll notify families through the parent portal by email and text as early as we can. If a teacher is ill and no substitute is available, a make-up class is scheduled around teacher and studio availability — tuition isn't credited or refunded for those.
