As you may or may not realize, the planning process for our year-end Recital Showcase takes all year.  Please don't forget that all the recital costumes need to be paid for by November 1st.  We measure dancers in class during the month of November, pick out the costumes in December, order them the first week of January, they don't ship until 12-16 weeks later, and by mid-April, we should have them in time for Recital Picture Week and the Denton Arts & Jazz Festival.  
Costume Fees are as follows:
Combo Classes $85-$110 (ages 4-9)
Ballet or Jazz only, under age 11, $80
Ballet or Jazz only, age 11+, $95
Contemporary, $85
Hip-Hop, ages 8-10, $75, ages 11+, $95
Tap, $85
DANCER MOMS & DADS NEEDED TO VOLUNTEER TO BRING THIS SHOW TO THE STAGE!
Can you say COMMUNITY SERVICE?!  That's right--any help that you can give to our non-profit dance company to bring "A Gift for Emma" to the stage is considered community service from volunteering as a Class Mom to helping to do costume alterations, etc.  WE NEED YOU!
