Dance Recitals at Nan’s in Raleigh

Recital Costs

Because the performance element is basic to our philosophy, we start planning now for every dancer to participate in the recital. Again this year, you will be asked to buy one costume for each class. There is also a recital fee, which is $45 per student. This fee helps defray the cost of renting the auditorium and the production costs involved as well. We strive to keep all of these costs low for you. Starting with reasonably-priced costumes, our well-trained recital staff, and down to the printing costs of programs, we carefully monitor all aspects of our recitals. We do not sell tickets to our recitals.

Payment

Costume and recital fees are due from each dancer by November 10 by cash or check. A $10.00 late fee will be added on payments made on or after November 15th. This late fee will not apply toward your costume and recital fees. The costume and auditorium fees are non-refundable and non- transferable as we order costumes (that we cannot return to the manufacturer) in late November and book the auditorium nine months to a year in advance.

Measurements

Measurements for costumes will start in class during the month of October. Parents will be asked to choose their dancer’s costume size based on those measurements. If you do not choose your dancer’s costume size by November 15, we will choose the most appropriate size for your child.

Not participating in recital is an option for you, however our office must be notified in writing prior to November 10th. After this date, you will be responsible for full payment of the costume fees.

Because we order custom-made costumes in advance and reserve the auditorium ahead, several policies below apply to all dancers:

• Costume & recital fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

• If a student withdraws from class after his/her costume is ordered and all fees are paid, they will
  receive their costume once the recitals are over.

• Students may not switch class times once costumes are ordered without director’s approval.

• For students who enroll between November 10 and January 31, your costume must be special ordered; therefore, costume fees plus shipping and handling are due upon registration.

• For those not participating in recitals, mailing of your costume after recital will require shipping and handling charges be paid before delivery.

While we make every effort to establish recital dates, costs, and class times so that everyone has this information in advance, we must reserve the right to change or amend our policy, dates, class times, etc. in the event of an unforeseen circumstance beyond our control.
