Please read all info carefully and ask any questions BEFORE you make your deposit!

1. REHEARSAL AND PERFORMANCE DATES – Our show is tentatively scheduled for the week of May 31st to be held at Meadville Area Senior High School. Rehearsals will be Tuesday and/or Wednesday for Stage Rehearsal, Thursday for Dress Rehearsal and shows Friday evening and Saturday afternoon.

2. ALL STUDENTS DANCE IN BOTH SHOWS! We run two shows. One Friday evening and one Saturday afternoon. All students will perform in BOTH. It is the same show both days.

3. NOVEMBER FEES: Due to the added cost of costume deposits in the month of November, fees for this month can be paid anytime during the month WITHOUT a late fee! This only applies for the month of November!

4. COSTUME LATE POLICY!!! KSD will implement the following late fee policy for costumes:
If the costume deposit is 1 day-1 week late, a fee of $ 10 PER COSTUME will be added to the deposit
($5 PER COSTUME for the 2nd student AND any additional students)
If the costume deposit is 8 days-2 weeks late a fee of $15 PER COSTUME will be added to the deposit
($10 PER COSTUME for the 2nd student AND any additional students)
ANY COSTUME DEPOSIT TURNED IN AFTER 2 WEEKS OF THE DUE DATE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED...
NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

5. Deposits amounts required as follows:
All deposits are PER CLASS (example, if you want to dance in both tap & ballet – pay for TWO costumes at the appropriate size fee). When in doubt, please make payment for the larger size. Any overpayment will be credited to you when the costume bills are done (usually in March or early April). PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AMOUNTS ARE CASH/CHECK/VENMO. IF YOU ARE PAYING VIA PAYPAL YOU MUST ADD 5%

WE WILL MEASURE, THIS IS JUST AN ESTIMATE FROM YOU
Child x-small (2), Small (4-6), Medium (8-10) – deposit EACH = $60 ($63 PayPal)
Child Large (12-14), Adult Small (6-8), Adult Medium (10-12) – deposit EACH = $65 ($68.25 PayPal)
Adult Large (14-16), X Large – deposit EACH = $70 ($73.50 PayPal)

6. OTHER IMPORTANT INFO:
Each student will be measured in class to help determine which size costume is needed, based on the size charts provided by each costume company. When in doubt, the LARGER SIZE will be ordered – it’s easier to alter a larger size to fit than it is to squeeze into one that is too small! Costumes are “made to order” and are NOT EXCHANGABLE. Any alterations that may be needed are the responsibility of the STUDENT.
The final price for the costume will be determined on your costume bill. Each costume will not exceed $20 above the price of your deposit unless communicated with each dancer.
(For example, if your deposit was $60, your costume would not exceed $80)
*NOTE that the above costs do NOT include tights, socks or other footwear needed*

7. Payment policy: Cash, Check, Venmo or PayPal is accepted for Costume Deposits.

If writing a check, you may combine monthly fees and costume deposits together.

Please make checks payable to KSD, LLC.

Cash and Check should be brought to class following the submission of your form. If your payment is late, your form is late and late fees will apply.

PLEASE NOTE:
IF PAYING VIA PAYPAL, CHECK THE PRICES (They are not the same as Cash)

8. CANCELLATION POLICY: Costume Company Policy (NOT KSD policy) states that cancellation of any costume MUST be made within 10 days of order date, at a cost of $5.00 PER COSTUME minimum. KSD can refund to you ONLY what the costume companies refund for cancellations. After 10 days, the costume companies WILL NOT make refunds for ANY REASON, therefore KSD CANNOT make refunds. Please be CERTAIN that you are able to participate BEFORE your costume is ordered!!

9. UNDERSTANDING COSTS: We realize that there are costs involved with participating in the spring performance, especially if your dancer takes several classes per week. We work hard to find good quality costumes at an affordable price so that as many students as possible are able to perform. All dancers are encouraged to participate within the means of the family budget!!
We also realize that not all dancers want to perform and that is OK!! These dancers will be included in the choreography of the performance piece, as we believe that using learned technique within group choreography is an important aspect of learning the art of dance. Placement in the piece will be such that non-performing dancers can easily step out and the overall balance of the piece will not be affected. We suggest that nonperforming students take class through April only.

FORMS ARE STILL REQUIRED FOR THOSE NOT PARTICIPATING. If your student is not participating, simply check the not participating box or the partial participation box (listing which dances you will not be participating in). This is imperative for choreography and purchasing purposes.

10. RECEIVING COSTUMES: In order to take any costume home OR use for pictures, BOTH your costume balance AND monthly lesson fees THROUGH THE END OF THE SEASON must be PAID IN FULL. We are happy to store your costumes for you until the last regular scheduled class. No costumes will be taken to rehearsals, payment MUST be made IN FULL prior to the last class of the season.
