9/27/2011	Costume deposits Dear Parents, We are very excited and pleased with our classes this year. We have seen a lot of progress and are looking forward to preparing for the spring recital. Our recital will be held at Bartlett High School around the first of May (date will be confirmed in Jan.) Dance classes will have two costumes, while acrobatic, ballet, street jazz, and baton classes will have one costume. Cost per costume is usually around $45. We try to keep costume costs as low as possible. Recital is strictly optional, but if you would like to participate, we will need a costume deposit of $50. If you take more than one class, please send $50 for each class – dance, acro, hip hop, baton, etc. Company members will need to pay $100. Please make checks payable to Bartlett Dance Factory with your child’s name on it. Please place these deposits in Miss Christi’s purple basket below the file folders. Costume deposits are non-refundable and will be due by Oct. 6th. Your child will be measured in October in order to make sure the costumes arrive in time for pictures and recital. Also, we will be handing out “dress code” notes in class. Please make sure all dance students have solid leotards (no skirts), pink tights, and hair in a bun (not a knot). Buns require hairagamis or bobby pins. Make sure your child’s ballet shoes are sewn and not tied in a knot. Your child will be given a “dress code” note the first time she/he is not properly dressed. If another discrepancy occurs, she/he will be allowed to watch, but not participate. Acro and baton students need to wear dance attire (leotards with shorts or capris - no t-shirts) with ponytails. Boys need to wear t-shirts and shorts with no zippers or sweatpants. Thanks so much for your cooperation and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Christi
