Cookie Dough Delivery
Cookie Dough orders will be available to pick up ONLY ON Friday, November 18th at 4:00 PM. YOU MUST PICK UP YOUR ORDER THIS DAY! WE DO NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF STORING AND REFRIGERATING COOKIE DOUGH. If you do not pick it up, it will go bad. You will be assigned a 30-minute time block to come and get your cookie dough based on the first letter of your dancer’s last name. You can send someone else to get your cookie dough. If you do not come at your assigned time you will have to wait until everyone at that time block has gotten their order. The time schedule is listed below:
4:00-4:30 A-E
4:30-5:00 F-L
5:00-5:30 M-R
5:30-6:00 S-Z
6:00-6:30 Anyone who cannot make their assigned time slots.
WE WILL NOT BE HERE ANY LATER THAN 6:30 SO PLEASE GET YOUR ORDERS.
Personalized Hoodie Orders
A GREAT Holiday gift for your dancer is one of our Glitter personalized Pirouette Hoodies! Please use the Personalized Order link below if you wish to purchase a hoodie. You have the option to keep it a secret from your child so you can save it for a Holiday present. Price is $40 each and they come personalized with your dancer’s name on the front. DEADLINE IS 11/19. CLICK HERE TO PLACE YOUR ORDER!
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 12/10. 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 as the early bird rate expired on 10/29/22. 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. Exchanges can only be made if the company can guarantee a ship date in time for pictures.
Finale
Please note, due to our upcoming Disney trip, our Finale number will consist of just our Disney dancers this year. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but unfortunately, these costumes had to be ordered back in September and the routine needed to be created prior to February. Disney dancers, please make note of your upcoming MANDATORY Saturday Rehearsals below. Group Rosters were emailed out and also posted in the waiting room!
