When does my tour price become locked in?Your trip price becomes locked in when you receive your Final balance invoice.

Do I need to tip on tour in the USA?Yes and No. We have included the cost of tipping your local tour guides and bus drivers etc. in your tour package, however there are some instances in which you will be expected to tip while you are on tour.

Does my rooming configuration effect the cost of my tour?Yes. Our Tours are based off of Quad share pricing meaning you are in a room with 4 people and receiving the best price available. If you would like to have a single, twin or triple room, we can adjust the price accordingly to accommodate your rooming request. Please note that all room sharing is decided by the Studio Director. All bedding in rooms is 2 Queen size beds so if you are in a Quad Room you are sharing a bed.

While all of our tours include some free time for dancers and their families to get out on their own and explore, sometimes this will be an entire day, other times it will be a morning, afternoon or evening. This will depend on availability for your dance experiences and which days the events fall on.
