Mature Content
This studio does not agree with young children performing in mature dance routines. We want strong technique first and foremost.
There are plenty of dance studios around that will put your young child in routines that we believe are too mature in nature and content. You are welcome to take your child somewhere else if you do not agree with our philosophies.
Costumes
If you choose to participate in the recital, we must have your deposit of $20.00 to us no later than January 10th, this is to ensure us enough time to order/construct
the costumes. This deposit is a non-refundable fee although it may be possible to sell the costume to another student who may have joined the class later and wishes to
perform in the recital. Most of the catalog costs are between $40.00 - $80.00 When we have costumes made the cost is sometimes slightly lower than the catalog. If you do not wish to perform in the Annual Recital, you must inform us by January 10th
