ATTIRE
All
students are REQUIRED to wear proper dance attire to all classes.
The uniform consists of solid black leotard, pink tights, and correct shoes.
(Male students may discuss their attire with the director).
To enable instructors to see proper body alignment, excess
clothing (t-shirts, skirts, etc) is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Students will not be permitted to participate in class
without proper attire (including shoes).
Dance attire may be purchased through the studio. If purchased
elsewhere, be sure to purchase the correct color.
Please be sure to put student’s name in all dancewear and
shoes. THE STUDIO IS NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOST/STOLEN ITEMS.
RECITAL
After a student has worked hard all year, it is a feeling of
personal accomplishment to perform on stage, “beautifully costumed”,
before family and friends. This
special stage experience also helps with confidence, poise, and
personality. STUDENTS MUST PAY A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF $50.00 PER
COSTUME NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 1st.
Orders received after this date will be charged a separate shipping
and handling fee of $30.00. Balance
is due on all orders no later than April 1 or earlier if the costume is
received prior to this date. Once
an order is placed or deposit is received, orders cannot be canceled and
students are liable for the balance due.
Details will be available regarding costume and production at a
later date.
