Our Annual Showcase will be held on Saturday June 7th @ Patrick Henry High School. We will be hosting two shows- 1:00PM and 5:00PM. Each class will be performing in ONE of these shows. If your dancer is enrolled in multiple classes, your dancer may be performing in both shows. We are still working on your dancers performance time slots for that day.
Dress Rehearsals will be held on Wednesday, June 4th and Thursday, June 5th at Patrick Henry High School. You will only be attending one day of dress rehearsal, unless you have multiple classes. Your rehearsal days and times will be assigned.
We will measure your child for costume sizing, but want to know what clothing size they are wearing, so we can cross check when ordering. This costume form and fee is due by February 10th. Costume Fees are for each class and will include the costume and tights. Creative Movement, Ballet/Tap/Jazz Combo and Junior Combo Classes are $80.00. Junior, Youth, and Teen Level Classes are $90.00. This will be charged to the card on file on February 10th. If you wish to pay by check or cash, just make sure we receive it on time.
**We will be unable to place late costume orders, so please make sure to have your payment in by this date. If you need to make special arrangements for this, please just reach out to me.**
