Costumes

 

Costume fees are included in tuition installments for enrolled students.

 

All students in performing classes will require one costume per class they attend. For example, if you take one ballet class and one jazz class, you will need two costumes. All class costumes will be ordered for you and are yours to take home after The Nutcracker.

  • Costumes will be distributed in class at the teacher’s discretion after costumes have arrived and payment is complete.

  • It is the students/parents responsibility to ensure care for all costumes pre-show and to transport them to the performance.

  • Alterations to costumes are the dancer’s responsibility.

  • Costumes are to be worn during dress rehearsal and will leave with the dancers after the performance.

  • After the performance, it is the students/parents responsibility to take home any purchased costumes.

  • All costume pieces (and other belongings) should be labeled with the dancer’s names.

  • All costume fees are in addition to recital/production fees.

​

Audition parts will have a costume rental fee of $25 per costume for non-Pre-Professional students.
