💳 December Tuition Drafts – Dec 5
A reminder that payments will draft on the 5th for most recreational families.
With our new billing processor, Ellever, please remember:
- All families must enroll in autopay on Ellever, just like you originally did on DSP.
- We will continue using the Esprit App FL, but all registration and personal account links now route through Ellever.
You may have noticed that our new processor now includes administrative/software fees within tuition, rather than grouping them into convenience fees.
Rest assured, your tuition prices have remained the same.
Most families will actually see lower overall fees, especially when choosing ACH (only 1.5%) instead of a card.
These updates were made to create a more consistent, transparent, and parent-friendly billing experience.
❄️ Lights in the Park – Thursday, Dec 4
Join us Thursday evening at Auburndale’s Lights in the Park (festivities begin around 5 PM) to watch our Team dancers perform “Our Frozen Holiday,” Esprit’s take on Olaf’s Frozen Adventure!
We do not yet know our exact performance time, but come enjoy the holiday activities and support our dancers!
🎄 December Saturday Market – Saturday, Dec 6
The Auburndale December Saturday Market is a wonderful place to shop local vendors, enjoy holiday music, and support our dancers!
Our performers will take the stage sometime midmorning, with the exact time TBA.
Bring the family to shop and cheer on our Esprit dancers!
🍽️ Caldwell Dinner & Show – Monday, Dec 8 at ~6:30 PM
