Tuition: $135 / month (Tuition is spread out over 5 months Aug - Dec). If your child withdraws on or after October 1st, you will be charged for the remaining tuition for the semester.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED FOR THE PERFORMANCE:
Ladies Base Layer: The Base Layer consists of Capezio Light Suntan Tights (or the color that best matches your skin color, if you prefer) and a neutral colored leotard (no bright colors, please).
These can be purchased at Spell’s Dancewear on Harding Pike across from St. Thomas West. Ballet or Jazz Shoes.
Gentlemen's Base Layer: Compression shorts and top that can be worn underneath their costume. Black converse style shoe or a jazz shoe.
Hair and Make Up:
Ladies: Hair should be slicked BACK (no whispies) in a ponytail, one or two buns (hairnets for buns, please). It is best to start with wet hair and slick back from there and then spray until “crispy”…gel also works well!
Make Up: Brown eyeshadow, bright blush, mascara and L’Oreal Red Lipstick.
Gentlemen: Hair should be neatly combed with gel so that it is not in their face.
Make Up: We will apply if needed.
Students should arrive in full hair and make up for the performance and in their Base Layer with a zip up or button down top over it as to not mess up hair and make up.
Please feel free to send any questions our way!

Each student will receive 2 tickets to each performance (a total of 4 tickets). Tickets are $12.00 each and will be charged to your account on October 1st. Your tickets will be sent home the week before the performance.These tickets will guarantee 2 SEATS at each performance. There will be TWO lines, one for ticketed patrons and one for NON-ticketed patrons. All ticketed patrons will line up and enter the theater FIRST. We will then have the non-ticketed patrons fill in the empty seats and any floor space.
CONFLICTS:
While the expectation is that attendance at rehearsal is a priority, if you have an unavoidable conflict, please submit that as soon as possible to Miss Vanessa. The conflict will then be posted on the website, please check to see that the conflict is in fact on the website.
We create the rehearsal schedule around conflicts; it is important that we know if your child will not be at rehearsal. We would hate to schedule your child’s big number only to realize they weren’t there that day. If your child does need to miss rehearsal, they need to check the website for what they missed and watch choreography videos to start to get caught up.
We will post the material we will be working on each week here on the website. It is important that the students come to rehearsal with the material memorized. Students can go ahead and start learning all of the music now! :). We typically start at the beginning of the show and work chronologically.
