Costume Sizing Week
2022-11-07 - 2022-11-12 | Pirouette Dance Academy, 1706 President Avenue, Fall River, MA, 02720, United States
Costume Sizing Week
Costume Sizing week is when I, Miss Kiirsten, will personally measure each child so we can pick out the appropriate size costume size for them. I measure the bust, hips, waist and girth and add an extra inch or so for growing room. Once I have measured every child, I will then compare the measurements to a sizing chart to pick the appropriate size for your child. You have the option to let me choose the size or you may review the size chart and select the size you want. If you want to pick your child’s size it is your responsibility to reach out to me and schedule a time for us to look at measurements. If you do not make an arrangement with me, you are forfeiting your right to choose your child’s costume size and leaving it to me.
Either way, there is a $10 exchange fee for any costume that is ordered and needs to be exchanged due to a sizing conflict. There is also a $10 fee for XL & up adult costumes.

Costumes
As you know our Cookie Dough fundraiser helps to defray the cost of costumes. Any extra money that goes beyond costume payments will be put towards tuition. We are doing an early bird rate of $70 for costumes if paid by 10/29. We will be billing for costumes shortly so please make note of this when you review your account balance. Any costumes paid after 10/29 will increase to $80. All final costume payments are due by 12/10. If your costumes are not paid, they will NOT be ordered which results in your child not being able to participate in the Recital.

Please keep in mind these prices are cost per costume. Please see class descriptions for an accurate count of how many dances each class performs (for example: Creative Movement 2 has two costumes). There will be an additional $10 fee for an XL and XXL Adult costume. I know this is a tough time of year for people to be spending extra money but I will need to order the costumes in December to ensure their arrival. You may make payments at any time. Children will be measured then Miss Kiirsten will pick the costume size based on a sizing chart. If you want to pick your child’s size

Cookie Dough Fundraiser

Every year we do an OPTIONAL cookie dough fundraiser to help reduce the cost of costumes. You may also use your profit towards tuition. Forms were passed out the first week of classes and all money and forms are due by 10/8 between 8:30 AM and 1:00 PM. Extra forms are available in the office. We will accept CASH ONLY,(NO COINS PLEASE) no checks/cards will be accepted!!! You will receive a $6 profit for every item you sell. You will also get prizes based on how many items you sell (see board in waiting room for details). Top two sellers will receive a $100 bonus towards costumes/tuition to be applied directly to your account! We will be accepting cookie money during the week if one of the staff members is in the office and is free. Please be patient since we need to count all the money and verify forms when it is dropped off. Pick up will be ONLY on Friday 11/18. If you do not pick up your cookie dough on this day, it will go bad and not be able to be handed out. We will do time slots starting around 4:00 PM by the student’s last name. If you think pick up will be a problem for you, please consider that when participating in this fundraiser. Keep in mind, anyone can pick up your cookie dough!
