dancer's regular class times.
Order forms will be available the night your child comes
for pictures. Costumes will be distributed the week
before Picture Week. Regular class instruction will not
take place during Picture Week. We ask that a female
parent of young dancers be present to assist their child
with dressing.
Additional information on Picture Week will be
distributed next month.
