YOU CAN PAY MONTHLY BY BREAKING DOWN YOUR YEARLY TUITION IN 10 PMTS, BUT TUITION IS NOT BASED ON A MONTHLY AMOUNT OF CLASSES-- IT IS BASED ON A YEARLY AMOUNT OF 30 CLASSES. IF SNOW DAYS, BRING YOUR LESSONS TO BELOW 30, THEN THAT CLASS WILL BE MADE UP. IF A CERTAIN DAY PER WEEK GET 32 LESSONS, A MAKE-UP WILL NOT BE GIVEN UNLESS THEIR AMOUNT GOES BELOW 30 LESSONS.

RECITAL:
WE EXPECT OUR RECITALS TO BE THE THIRD FULL WEEKEND IN MAY (19TH - 20TH) 2012

SOME SIBLINGS WILL BE IN SEPARATE RECITALS. SOME COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS WILL BE GIVEN FOR THE SECOND RECITAL IF YOUR CHILDREN ARE SPLIT UP.

HIP HOP DANCES MAY BE SPLIT FROM YOUR REGULAR DANCES.

ALL TEAM STUDENTS WILL NOT PERFORM IN ALL SHOWS.

OUR ANNUAL RECITAL IS PART OF YOUR CHILD'S TRAINING, (DANCING IS A PERFORMING ART). STUDENTS LEARN COOPERATION, STAGE DIRECTION, TO OVERCOME SHYNESS, AND TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES. PARTICIPATION IS MANDATORY. ALL STUDENTS ARE OBLIGATED TO PURCHASE A COSTUME FOR EACH CLASS.

RECITAL COSTS:
THE AVERAGE COSTUME COST THIS YEAR IS APPROXIMATELY $95- $110 FOR RECREATIONAL STUDENTS AND $105 - $140 FOR TEAM STUDENTS. SPECIALTY TROUPES RANGE BETWEEN $100 - $275??(THIS COST INCLUDES ALTERATIONS AND TIGHTS FOR THE RECREATIONAL STUDENT!). IT INCLUDES ALTERATIONS FOR THE TEAM STUDENTS (TIGHTS ARE NOT INCLUDED FOR THE TEAM/PRE-TEAM STUDENTS). NOTE- TEAM/PRE-TEAM STUDENTS MAY HAVE TO BUY MORE THAN ONE TYPE OF TIGHTS FOR RECITAL.

WE BREAK DOWN THE COSTUME CHARGES INTO 2 PAYMENTS FOR YOU. A $75 COSTUME DEPOSIT (FOR EACH COSTUME) IS DUE BY OCTOBER 15TH. THIS 1ST COSTUME DEPOSIT IS ONLY REFUNDABLE UP TO NOVEMBER 15TH. THE SECOND & LAST NON-REFUNDABLE COSTUME PAYMENT IS THE BALANCE AND DUE BY JAN 1ST.

***All Ballet/Jazz/Tap COMBO classes- Kindergarten thru 2nd graders will have 2 costumes for 3 dances.. One will be a solo costume and one will have two pieces to create two different looks for other 2 dances. This will result in TWO deposits of $75 each for these classes!

Example- a Combo class does 3 dances in the recital (Ballet, Jazz and Tap)-- One costume may be used solely for Ballet and then One costume will be used for Jazz and Tap. The costume used for Jazz and Tap, will use the same bodysuit but have two different bottoms and maybe even different accessories to make them look differently. We do this to save our costumers the trouble of paying for 3 separate costumes while still allowing their child to perform 3 dances in our annual recital.

IF YOU ARE ON A TEAM OR A PRE - TEAM, COSTUME PAYMENTS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR TUITION AND WILL BE CHARGED TO YOU EXACTLY THE SAME AS ABOVE. CONVERTIBLE TIGHTS/STIRRUP TIGHTS OR BODYTIGHTS ARE NOT INCLUDED FOR TEAM CLASSES AND CAN BE PURCHASED AT THE STUDIO AT ANY TIME.

TICKETS WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $20.00 PER TICKET AND TICKET SALES ARE DONE THROUGH A LOTTERY SYSTEM.
