GENERAL COSTUME INFORMATION

Creative Movement and Pre-Levels:  One costume is required for these classes.


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


Beginner Level and up:  Students and parents should expect an averege of $65.00 in costume fees for each class that is taken.  Ofcourse we do try to keep costs down by reusing costumes and buying costumes that can be used for more than one dance.  Older students or those in higher levels usually have the highest costume balances, because they take several classes.


Opening/Finale:  Each year one class is chosen (usually Advanced), to perform either the opening or final number.  This class will have an added costume.


**All Costume Balances are due by January 1,2009 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.
