These individual slots can be used for sibling/cousin photos as well! Your first individual photo slot is $25, and each additional is $20. With each slot, you will get access to 1 digital photo download. You pay our photographer directly in person with her order form.
Group photo: Each student will be in their class's group photo in the program! This fee of $20 will be charged to your account in March, and goes toward the posing session, your group photo digital download, and program printing. Hip Hop and Acro classes will not have a group photo, but you can still take an individual photo in a Hip Hop costume! Group photo times were sent out in our February and March newsletters. |

Makeup is required so the bright lights on the stage don't wash out all your child’s features! All hair should be in a bun. All headpieces go on the child's right side in front of the bun. Only stud earrings allowed.
