If you are a new student there are no payments due for the summer as you paid at time of registration. For current students payment will be due the 8th. As always if you cannot make auto pay on the 8th or have the payment on the first class of the month please speak to me. I am happy to work with anyone as long as I know the issue.
* Dance wear:
For all – we are not requiring our uniforms for the summer as we transition to this new space. HOWEVER your child MUST be in dance attire (leotard and shorts or skirted leotard dress, tights optional). If you would like to purchase our uniform it is $45. Please email us so we can get your size.
We will bring some gently used shoes back and forth. New or current students who have outgrown their shoes who would like to borrow gently used shoes please respond with shoe size and we will bring some options with us.
If you want to purchase shoes new we recommend KaShe Dance and Designs located at 473 Centre Street in Nutley. If you are new and in grade 3 or above please email me about shoes.
STARTING THIS SUMMER: All students will bring their shoes back and forth with them, we will no longer store them.
