T’DANCE COSTUME NEWSLETTER 11-14-20 No classes November 24th-26th – Thanksgiving Costume payments are due by Thursday, December 3rd, 2020. Costume payments must be on a separate check from tuition payments. If you are on auto payments for tuition, costume payments are not included and must be on a separate check/payment from tuition. If your tuition is not current, payment must be received before we can order costumes. If we have not received your costume payment by December 3, 2020 – late fees of $10 per costume will be added. It is time to place orders for costumes for this year’s dance recital “SHOWTIME 2021”!! Costume payments are due in the studio by Thursday, December 3rd, 2020. If your payment has not been received by this date we will assume that you do not wish to purchase the costume and participate in the recital. If you choose to not participate, please provide us with a written note by December 3rd, 2020. The recital is not required, and you may continue to take classes and learn the choreography without doing the performance. However, if you are participating in SHOWTIME, the costumes are required. We have listed the cost of each costume by class, instructor and studio. All of the students will be measured in their classes. Costumes are ordered according to each of the costume company’s size charts. We also need shoe sizes for several of the Hip Hop classes. If you have a student in one of these classes and can provide us with their current street shoe size. Photos of all costumes and music selections for each class will be posted in the lobby after Thanksgiving and are included with this email in a separate document. Tights that are needed for each costume are also listed. The cost of tights is not included in the costume price. Tights are stocked in the dancewear store and you may purchase them at anytime. We also list in the last column of the price sheet other items needed, such as nude or black leotards that are worn under costumes. Most of the older students wear the nude base leotard under all costumes. These items are not included in the costume price. Regarding the Directed Health Measures and Covid Pandemic – We will deal with whatever the Directed Health Measures may be for holding an event or larger gathering when we are closer to our performance dates. The combination classes all perform on one night of recital only (list follows below). All other single classes perform on both nights. All rehearsals and performances are required if you are participating in SHOWTIME 2021. Dancers are not allowed to miss a rehearsal or a performance. Rehearsal dates: June 1st – 3rd. Performance dates: June 4th & 5th.
