June Tuition  - June tuition is due and paid in advance with May tuition as stated in the Student Parent Handbook, June tuition may be made in payments as long as its paid in full on or before May 10th.  All accounts must be paid current and in full no later than May 10th with all fees paid for dancers to be eligible to dance in the Recital.

Tights & Leotards for Showcase – Tights for the Recital are included with your child’s costumes to ensure that everyone has the same color and style, please save these tights for Pictures and Recital only – do not wear them in class.  

 All students in Tuesday Beg. Ballet, Beg. Jazz, Intermediate Jazz, Intro to Jazz, Advanced Tap, and Sr. Company will need to purchase a black camisole top style leotard to wear beneath their costumes. Intro to Hip Hop can wear either a tank or camisole style black leotard.  We ask this for modesty reasons. Some of the tops are not lined or they may be a 2 piece outfit and we do not want any midriffs showing.

We recommend purchasing these items from either Discount Dancewear or Dance Distributors, we will be more than happy to provide catalogs and ordering information should you need it.  Please order these items in time for our studio photo shoot June 9th. Make sure all items have your child’s name marked on it with permanent maker. 

 Costumes – Costumes are starting to arrive, after all alterations have been done on costumes they will be available to go home with you. All costumes when picked up must be signed for by a parent to ensure that you have received your costumes and all accessories. You will be responsible for them at picture time as well as bringing them to and from Dress Rehearsal and the Recital.  Please do not wear them other than for Studio Pictures, Dress Rehearsal and the Recital so that they stay in good condition and that pieces are not lost before these events.  Costumes and their accessories are non-replaceable.  

Class Evaluations – Evaluations are held every year for Upper School Ballet & Jazz classes, these evaluations will then be sent home with Miss Laura’s class recommendations for Fall Classes. If your child is in a lower school (precious moments, joys r us or intro level) these classes are based on age. When a dancer reaches 8 yrs old they will move into the Beginning Level dance classes. Children at age 5 may move into Joys R Us, children age 6 may move into Intro to Ballet and ages 4-7 may dance in Intro to HipHop/Jazz.  If you have any questions regarding placement please let us know.
