Costumes
Students will be measured and parents will be asked to choose a size. If costume does not fit properly, alterations will be the responsibility of the parents. Students are not required to perform in the annual production. Permission slips for participation will be handed out.
The deadline for costume money must be strictly observed! Signed permission slips with costume money must be in by Saturday, January 29. Costumes must be ordered by February 1 to insure delivery by May 1. Once the order goes out no more costumes can be ordered. If your costume money is not in by Jan. 29 we will assume you prefer that your child not perform.
Leads, Solos, and Duets
Leads are chosen from the top level. Solos and Duets are from various levels. Many things are considered when casting the show:
Summer Classes - School year attendance - Attitude - Effort
People accepting leads, solos, etc, are taking on additional responsibility to the other students of the school. Please do not accept the role if you do not want the responsibility.
Show Tickets
Tickets will be available on Thursday, June 2, on a first-come-first-served basis. All seats are reserved.
How a student is chosen:
    Perfect Attendance - Attitude - Hard Work - Effort - Dedication
Improvement is determined from a tape of previous year compared to present. This is not an easy award to win because the only competition is within each dancer and not with classmates. The student chosen is the one who has made the most improvement and met the above requirements.
