Accessibility at The Dance Complex

For over 30 years The Dance Complex has been committed to building communities, supporting artists, and offering opportunities for the study, creation and performing of dance.

Insurance Reimbursements

Some participants may be eligible to use HSA/FSA funds for dance classes or Memberships if they have a qualifying medical need, and approval from their healthcare provider and benefits administrator.

If you are seeking reimbursement, we recommend the following steps:

1. Confirm eligibility with your HSA/FSA provider or insurance administrator
2. Ask your healthcare provider whether a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) is appropriate for your situation
3. Purchase your classes or Membership through our normal registration/payment process
4. Present an itemized receipt or invoice from our team if needed for reimbursement documentation.
5. Submit your receipt and any required medical documentation directly to your HSA/FSA administrator for review.

Please note:

• We cannot guarantee reimbursement or insurance approval
• Eligibility requirements vary by plan
• Our studio does not directly bill insurance providers at this time
