In such a case a refund for unused lessons will be given.

Costumes
Performance costume costs are INCLUDED in the tuition fee for performance classes, so no extra fees due at ordering time. They are ordered through dance catalogs in December. Sizing is by measurement, so your student will be measured in November of each year. Costumes are not custom-made and may require alterations. Pants may require hemming. Some accessories may need to be attached by parent. We select the highest quality costume for the best price. These are not made for everyday use and must be cared for accordingly. Please contact us immediately after receiving your costume if it is extremely big or small. No refunds on costumes even if student withdraws. If you withdraw, you will be responsible for the costume balance since this fee is divided out over 9 months. Combination class students will perform one dance number.
