Dear Parents and Dancers,

Welcome back to another year with Dance to the Music’s competition team! We are looking forward to a new, exciting dance season!! As part of the commitment to the team, each member is expected to be prompt for class, work hard, and not miss more than 3 practices. It is mandatory that ALL team members take the following classes listed under their category:

Jazz/Tap/Hip Hop/Modern/Character
2 classes per week plus a ballet or lyrical class

Ballet / Pointe
2 additional ballet classes per week

See schedule for hi-lighted classes. Choose all other classes according to your age and level.
The above is a minimum requirement for all competition team members.
Absolutely no exceptions will be made to these rules. Please plan vacations and
other activities accordingly.
For class fees, see tuition schedule.

Competition costumes…………………...…$75.00 (per costume) if paid by Oct.15, 2009
                                                                      $85.00 thereafter
                                                                      $10.00 added for any extra large size
Additional costs for accessories may be added. Certain shoes will be needed for different routines. Your teacher will notify you as to what you will need after classes begin.

Each competition requires a registration fee and entrance fee. We will inform you of the exact amount and due date as the information becomes available. Competition dates will be announced by winter break.If anyone has a conflict, let us know immediately so that we can arrange for an understudy. Competitions are usually held between March and May. We encourage fundraisers; however, they are the responsibility of the parents. If you have an idea, or wish to be on a committee, please let us know.  Finally, we require all team parents to volunteer at the recital and/or dress rehearsal. We really appreciate your support.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
Peggy and Carol
