PARTICIPATION FEE:  A Participation Fee for the Dance Concert is required for each family.  

This year's cost is $5 to $10 more than last year. We always keep the cost as low as possible while still producing an exciting, interesting show.  Not a recital year so no costumes but still the sparkling smiles and fancy footwork that make lasting memories for you and your dancer.
