December 2010:  Cystic Fibrosis; in honor of one of MDC's students

GENERAL COSTUME INFORMATION

Creative Movement:  Typically, one costume is required for these classes.


Pre-Level:  Expect individual costumes to be ordered, but whenever possible two-in-one or three-in-one style costumes will be used.  


Level 1 and up:  Students and parents should expect one costume per class taken.  We try to keep costs down by reusing costumes (winter show to spring show use) and buying costumes that can be used for more than one dance.


Opening/Finale:  Each year 4 classrd str chosen to perform in the opening, before and after intermission, and the final number.  These classes will have added costumes.


**All Costume Balances are due by January 1st for the Spring Recital and November 15th for the Christmas Show so all costume orders can be placed.  No refunds are made on costume payments.  If a student drops prior to receiving their costume, it then becomes the property of the Mendon Dance Center; no refund will be made.
