Costumes cost a maximum of $100/dancer/class taken, and dancers keep costumes after the show. If your dancer participates in more than one class such as Hip Hop and an Acro class, they have two costumes to purchase. If they take three classes, there will be three costumes and so on. *The exception to this is Children's Combo classes including Ballet/Jazz/Tap. These classes will pay up to $125/dancer, with Ballet/Jazz usually paying less than those who have added Tap* We do our best to keep costume fees as low as possible.
