RECITAL FEES
Recital is optional but recommended!
Rehearsal/Recital Dates: May 3-8
Your exact times and more information will be given in October when we send out your class's recital info!
If you choose to participate in the recital, you are responsible for the costume fee which is estimated at $85.00-$100.00 per dancer, for each class they attend. We try to keep our costs down as much as possible, but as with everything, the costs from costume companies are rising. You will also be responsible for a family production fee. The production fee will help cover the cost of the recital venue, props, and stage help.
There isn't a penalty for not participating in the recital. All dancers will learn the choreography and participate in all dance classes leading up to the end of our dance season.
The costume fee is due October 31, 2026 and the production fee will be due by April 22, 2027.
You will receive an invoice before both payments are due. A $10.00 late fee will be applied after the due date.
