Be sure that you look at the costume example pictures posted in the costume notebook, located in the lobby. This will help all to see exactly how head and arm pieces etc., are to be worn. Also, take notice of the specified shoe and tight color. Now is the time to start thinking about these things. If you need to order shoes please do so immediately, as our picture days will be here soon.  It's important to not wait until the last minute to take care of details such as proper shoes and alterations! Thank You! 

 

If you have any outstanding balances (i.e. - unpaid tuition for December or January, etc.) you will be unable to take home your costumes until all accounts are paid in full.  Please be sure to let your children know - thank you!

 

COSTUME PICTURE DAYS!

Pictures in our beautiful dance costumes will be taken on February 12th &13th at BCFD.  This is the time to take individual and group pictures in your fabulous dance concert costumes. The pictures will be taken at the studio by a professional dance photographer. Please specific days and times below.  Please make sure to make every effort to come at your specific time.  The group photos are keepsakes and it would be great to have everyone in their group photos.  


Normal classes will not be held during our dance costume picture days.  

 

Pictures will be taken individually in all the dance concert costumes. We would like to ask that all PLEASE show up for picture day. We do take a group picture and it often means a lot to the families and me when all classmates are in the picture. Group photos are taken 1st, so don't be late for your picture time, Individual shots will follow - see picture times posted below.  ALL CLASS GROUP PICTURES WILL ALSO BE IN OUR BEAUTIFUL DANCE CONCERT PROGRAM BOOK! Once again, all must be in the group photos.  


For those of you who have purchased pictures in the past years you know how fabulous the pictures are!! Picture prices are comparable to school photo packages. If we can help with any questions please let us know, we are happy to help.

 

Even if you do not want to take individual pictures, please plan to attend for the group photo. All group photos are in the dance concert program book and ar very important to all. Thank you!!!
