Please note that these are the terms and conditions for enrolling in ESPA's Teen Classes. By registering, you are agreeing to all terms and conditions listed on our website.
REGISTRATION
There is a non-refundable $50 deposit required for all classes that comes out of your tuition (it is not an additional fee). Deposits must be paid for each class at the initial point of registration with a credit or debit card. The remaining balance must be paid in full by the first day of class.
Remaining tuition may be paid by cash, check, or credit/debit card. If a check is returned for insufficient funds, you will be charged a fee of $35 and must pay all remaining balances by cash or credit card only.
There are no credits or refunds for missed classes. If for any reason payment in full is not made by the end of the class, students and guardians authorize ESPA Administration to charge the card on file for any remaining balances.
ESPA faculty are professionals currently working in the field. While it is our goal to adhere to the class dates listed on the website and other registration materials, these dates are subject to change due to unforeseen changes in the instructor's schedule.
ONLINE REGISTRATION
Currently available for all Teen Classes directly through our website. For On-Camera Auditioning, please contact Kelly Letourneau at kelly@primarystages.org or 212.840.9705 with your registration request, and you will be sent an enrollment page directly.
Through our online system, you can either pay in full or use code "DEPOSIT" to pay only your $50 non-refundable deposit and expedite your registration. You will be contacted within 72 hours to set up payment for the remainder of your tuition balance.

ABOUT THE ONLINE PLATFORM FOR OUR CLASSES
Zoom Meeting is easy to start, join, and use to collaborate online in a personable way via desktop or mobile without complicated set-ups. The Zoom Meeting Host (your ESPA instructor or administrator) sends out a meeting link and at the time of your class, you just click the link to launch the virtual classroom via your web browser. In the Zoom Meeting, each participant can share their webcam so that you're not only hearing your instructor and classmates but seeing them too, making it feel similar to being in one of the studios at ESPA. Other exciting collaborative Zoom features include Breakout Rooms in which students can meet in smaller groups, "Raise Your Hand" feature to better facilitate balanced conversation, Video Sharing, and File Transfer for your assignments. If you can't log in via a computer, there are also options to phone into the meeting so you can still participate in the class even if you find yourself without computer or internet access. And Zoom has an Apple and Android app, making it possible to take part in class from any device.
