COSTUMES
We handle our winter recital costumes differently than our spring performance. Costumes will be rented to each dancer by the studio for the dress rehearsal and the show, and must be returned immediately following the show. Any missing costumes or accessories will be subject to additional fees if not returned. 

COST
Fees are per student and cover the rental of costumes, weekend rehearsal times, and tech/dress rehearsal times. These will be billed to your account by 10/15/26 and charged to your card on file with your November tuition (11/1/26). Solos are considered a role.

• $100: 1 role, 1 costume

• $125: 2 roles, 2 costumes
