As a reminder we are still accepting Fundraising Calendars. Cost will be $10 and will be split as $5 going to your dancer’s account and the other $5 going to the Pirouette Scholarship Fund. All money and slips must be submitted to the office by 11/23.We will accept CASH ONLY,(NO COINS PLEASE) no checks/cards will be accepted!!! When you sell a calendar please have the person fill out the top part with their contact information. Be sure they or you write the dancer’s name on the calendar as well to receive proper credit. Everyday in December we will pull a prize. We will announce it on social media and the dancer who sold it to the winner is responsible to be sure they get their prize which you can get directly from the studio.
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.
Angel Tags
We will be doing Angel Tags from the Salvation Army again this year. I’m still waiting on the information but as soon as I have it, I will pass it along.
Costumes
ALL COSTUME MONEY IS DUE BY 12/4. Unfortunately, if your fees are not paid (INCLUDING TUITION), then I cannot order your child a costume and they cannot be in the Recital. Costumes are now priced at $80 each. 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 or reference your online parent portal. There will be an additional $10 fee for an XL & up 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. There will be a $10 fee for a costume size exchange.
