Fundraiser

Fundraiser information will be distributed during the first few weeks of class and is a great way to help decrease the costs associated with the recital. Participation is not mandatory; however, students will earn costume credit for each pre-determined amount of merchandise sold. Any credit earned will be applied to your child’s “Recital Package Fee.” Credit earned will not exceed the amount of your dancer’s “Recital Package Fee.” Payment is due at the time of order. All orders must be paid for with one check, or money order, when the order is turned in. We will only accept checks from our dance families.
