Semester fees for 2026-2027
Semester fees are billed in Autumn and Spring, separately.
You can ask to pay the semester fee in installments (1-3). If you do, all the bills will arrive at the same time, but their due dates will be a month apart, each.
There is an option to apply for hobby support (monetary aid, granted together with the City of Lappeenranta), or for an exemption of semester fees (granted for highly motivated students of Lappeenranta Dance Institute).
The dance groups that practice at Lappeenranta Dance Institute have 37 weeks of teaching per year. Remote locations Joutseno, Pontus, Ruoholampi (Lappee) and Taavetti have 35 weeks of teaching.
