Costumes
ava

We have measured your children for the costume pieces that SDC will be providing for the holiday show. We ask that parents provide a base costume. SDC provides the rest! 

 

For example, a hip hop student may receive a T-shirt and hat from SDC and parents are asked to  provide  basketball shorts, socks, and shoes of their own. A ballet student may receive a tutu and headpiece from SDC and parents are asked to provide a leo of certain color, tights, and shoes.  

 

You will soon receive a list of the items we ask that you provide. On Your November statement, there was a $20 charge for the costume pieces per class that SDC will provide.
