Costumes and Tuition
It was a crazy couple weeks of measuring leading up to the Thanksgiving break, but costumes have been ordered! Many costumes have arrived and have been tried on already. More are on the way so please make sure your dancers come to class in proper dance attire to try on costumes.
Tuition & Fees Reminder
Recital Fee (Media, Finale T-Shirt and Recital Tights) is due today, December 1st. Late Fee of $15 will post on December 2nd for nonpayment.
January's Tuition will be January and 1/2 of June's Tuition. If you responded on the google form in August for option 1 or 2 this does not apply to you. If you did not responded on the google form, enrolled in September or after, or if you chose option 3, June's tuition will be posted 1/2 in January and the other 1/2 in April. This is due to ordering costumes and closing our season books in May.
Monthly Tuition is posted the 20th of the month prior (or next business day) and is due your first class of the month. We do not send out invoices for tuition or fees. You will get an email on the 14th if tuition has not been paid. A late fee of $15 automatically posts on the 16th for nonpayment.
Autopay is available and you can sign up at any point through your parent portal.
