Costumes will be ordered by mid-November, so we can get them in earlier. All classes will perform in the recital except specialty classes: back handspring strength/flex and leaps and turns. A $30 deposit is required for each costume your child will need. No costume will be ordered without a deposit being made. Our recital pictures will be taken in April this year, in order to have more time to work on the program book. The balance of $40(preschool/adv preschool) and $45(all others) will be due by the first of February.
A $20 shipping/processing fee will be added for all costumes ordered after November 1st. If ordered late there is no guarantee that the costume will be delivered in time for the class pictures in April.
