The race to Excital 2026, tentatively titled "Hooray for Hollywood!" is on! We'll be spending more time on choreography and less time on technique.

 

Costumes—We'll be ordering costumes for our annual recital no later than January 16. If you are not going to be in class at least one of the next two weeks, please let me know and I will send you instructions to obtain the measurements I need. Miss Caiti and I have made our choices, and we'll show them to you this week. Prices run between $55 and $70, and I will post those in the studio soon. If you do not plan to participate in Excital 2026, I need to know NOW. I do not upcharge on costumes in order to make them more affordable for our students' families; I give them to you at our wholesale price and must avoid buying costumes that will go unpurchased.

You may choose to make costume deposits of $10 or $15 each along with monthly tuition with any balance due in May, or you may pay one lump sum with February tuition, by which time final prices will be available. No costumes will go home until they are paid in full. Please feel free to contact me for questions about costumes and/or the recital, and I'll be very happy to answer those for you.

Automatic Payments: Our bank no longer offers the payment link and automatic payment option they did previously. To pay by credit or debit card, or ACH automatically or when not in the studio, please ask Miss Cammie to send you a monthly invoice. You will be able to choose to make single or automatic payments from that. Please be patient with me while I learn this new trick everyone! It's lightyears easier than we had years ago but I'm imperfect.
