Studio Dance Pictures:

March 3rd-10th!!!

  

*You received an email last week containing the picture schedule for this year. All classes will have both group & individual pictures taken in each of their costumes at their assigned class time. 

 

*All combo classes will take their tap photo first!

 

*Please wear "skin toned" tights with tap and jazz shoes and pink tights with ballet shoes, unless otherwise instructed! 

 

*Please plan to come in the last 5 minutes of class the week leading up to pictures. The teachers will make announcements regarding hair and accessory placement.

 

*We ask that all tights be purchased through our dancewear boutique located at 13 Industrial Park Dr. Ste 200.

 

Dancewear Boutique Hours

Monday - Thursday

4:00pm-7:00pm

 

The Dancewear Boutique will not be open during picture week. We will have tights available at the main studio, but please purchase shoes ahead of time if you need them.

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

​

*Please check with your teacher re: hairstyle, color of tights, shoes, accessories etc. 

 

**PLEASE be on time for your dance photos as we are on a tight schedule! Group pictures are taken before the individual pictures. Please notify the Main Office ahead of time if you are not going to be at your scheduled photo time.

 

Most regular classes will NOT meet during picture week (March 3rd-10th)! 

 

*This month, a charge of $3.00 will be posted to your account for each group shot in which your child appears (i.e. you will be charged $6.00 if your child has 2 costumes). This fee goes toward printing the class photos in the recital program book. The photographer (Mark Griffith) will provide parents with a website address where you will be able to view proofs and purchase photos online, if you are interested.
