10. When do we get our costumes?
You will receive your costume and all of information needed for picture week, dress rehearsal and the recital during your class. ONLY PARENTS CAN PICK UP THEIR CHILD'S RECITAL COSTUME.
11. I have more than one child that dances, will they be in the same recital?
Every effort is made to place your children in the same recital or in back to back recitals. However, due to the number of classes we have it is difficult to make this happen. Also, we do not allow our youngest students to participate in our late recital which means it is made up of mostly teens and adults. If your two dancers range in age from preschool to pre-teen, you will probably be placed in more than one show.

Tuition is not discounted for classes missed, nor for holidays or inclement weather. Each class is GUARANTEED 30 CLASSES PER SEASON. There is no additional charge for five week-months so that each class receives the same number of lessons during the year. If you miss a class, we offer make-up classes from September to March. Tuition is expected to be paid unless official notification is made to the office that a student is dropping a class.
13. Are pictures optional?
Recital pictures are made at the studio the week of April 16-20. While it is optional, we love to have the entire class available for their class picture to place on our "wall of fame". You do not have to purchase a picture to be in the class photo.
14. When will we teach the recital dances?
We usually start teaching the recital dances when we return from the holidays in January.
15. What if we change our mind after costumes are ordered, can we still order a costume?
Unfortunately, no. It is not possible to get a costume in time for the recital after the holidays. The costume companies only make costumes for orders placed so there are no extras.
16. How do you pick the size of the costume you order for my child?
The costume company sends sample leotards for us to try on your child. We also take your child's measurements and usually add a couple of inches for growth. After years of ordering costumes, we have found it better to order larger rather than smaller, as costumes are much easier to take in than to let out.
