-
Please remember that when a dancer joins a class, they take up a spot that is now no longer available to anyone else. If they choose to leave the class after Nov 15th , we can no longer fill that space as the class will have progressed too far to allow any new students to participate.

Costumes are also ordered by this point and no longer become refundable from the various costume companies.

Please bare this in mind if you have any questions or concerns heading into the second term of the dance year.
