​

SHOE & DANCE-WEAR FITTING DAY

Dancers who need to order the required dance dress and/or shoes will be fitted the week before classes begin (Friday, March 16th at 2:30 PM), so that items will arrive in time for the first class.  Tuition must be paid in full before dance-wear or shoes will be ordered for your child.  Sometimes items are back ordered and may not arrive immediately.  Dancers joining the class late and those who are not able to attend the fitting will still get dance-wear and shoes - they will be fitted at their first class.  In the event that your child's clothing or shoes are not immediately available, they will still participate in dance class wearing their sneakers and street clothing. 

 

​

RECITAL - Friday June 1st

As our 9 week session comes to a close, our dancers will perform a small Recital for their friends and families.  

Each student will be asked to bring in clothing for their costume (more details will follow).  Your Student's recital will be held at the time of their regular classes.   We will send home a reminder the week before the recital, and an email a few days before, but please mark your calendars so you can be there!  We also offer a snack after the performance for our dancers.  If your child has a food allergy, please be sure to note that on your registration form, or mention it to Miss Jericho or one of your child's MCDS teachers so we are sure everyone has a safe and fun experience!
