additional expenses
• Dance attire: (shoes, leotards, tights, ETC.) More information about dance attire here. Costs range - see boutique for more details.
• Year end production costume: (one costume per dance form) Costs can range anywhere from $70 to $140 each. With the Canadian dollar still strong, we plan to order a large majority of costumes from companies in the U.S. (Unfortunately there are no Canadian companies who offer this full service option.). Costumes must be pre-paid and ordered prior to Xmas to ensure arrival time for festival and recital. All ordered Costumes will be subject to exchange, duty, HST and shipping fees.
• Costume Deposits: Costume deposits will be invoiced with dance fees and collected the first week of classes. Deposits are $50.00/per child/per dance. (IE: 2 children taking 2 classes each would = $200.00 deposit). If you wish to write a cheque, you may post-date your deposit up to (but no later than) Oct 31/2011. Any cheques should be made payable to Dancers Den. Deposits can also be paid for using debit, MC or Visa. A transaction fee of 3% will apply. If your child chooses to discontinue classes prior to costumes being ordered, your deposit will be refunded.
Measuring will take place mid November and costumes will be ordered by the first week of December. If you have any reservations about your child's participation in the year end show (May 4th and 5th -2012) Please contact Leslie prior to costumes being ordered. Once costumes are ordered there are no refunds and parents will be responsible for the balance owing.
Any balance owing will be invoiced mid January and must be paid in full by Feb 15th/2012. Costumes will not be distributed until all outstanding accounts are cleared. Please note: Company costume deposits are $100.00/per dancer
