Schools of dance registration opens in July SAN ANTONIO – Hermann Sons Life Schools of Dance registration opens in July for the 2025-2026 season. The program is offered at a discount to our members (policyholders) and is also open to non-members. The dance program is available to youth 3 to 17 years of age as of Sept. 1, 2025. Students may enroll in any one of the dance schools they choose. Dance school locations and registration instructions are being mailed out to eligible Hermann Sons Life members, and school of dance enrollment for non-members will be advertised in the communities where
dance schools are located. Dance registration is available online at hermannsonslife.org. The dance schools are designed to teach the art of dance
in a wholesome atmosphere of fun, work, physical exercise and fellowship. Tuition is $38 per month for nine months or a full payment of $342 may be paid at time of
registration. Non-members will be charged the same monthly tuition; however, they will also be charged a $200 registration fee. Dance tuition and registration fees help each dance class pay for expenses during the year and the Home Office cost for teacher salaries and any other expenses that are incurred. Each teacher is an employee of Hermann Sons Life. The teacher(s) and at least two parent volunteers are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the school. The deadline to register is Oct. 1. In most instances, the dance season follows the school calendar.

SAN ANTONIO – Hermann Sons Life announces the formation of the HSL Youth Foundation Inc. that incorporates the camp, dance and scholarships programs. The HSL Youth Foundation Inc. is a designated 501(3)(c) organization. A 501(c)(3) is a recognized nonprofit organization that receives federal tax exemption and donors can deduct contributions. These junior member benefit programs will continue as usual with changes only to business operations. Due to this classification, the foundation can now participate in grant funding programs and accept tax-deductible donations from corporations, businesses and individuals.
“The foundation now makes grants and charitable donations accessible in ways never before possible,” President and CEO Robin Czarnek said. “This will make more improvements possible and better provide for sustainable growth.” “It is a seamless change for the dance, camp and scholarship programs. The mission to provide quality, cost-effective and fun programs for the youth remains steadfast,” Vice President of Member Benefits Cecily Kelly said. “We are excited to be able to seek grant funding for the betterment of these programs. I am already taking classes on grant writing and asking for assistance from experienced grant writers.”
