Birthday Parties are a great time at DAC. Please plan 4-6 weeks in advance for your day.
DAC is not raising tuition to allow you to continue your dance programs while recovering from this economy. In return we ask that you register and make payments on time, keep the school in a tidy condition, and volunteer whenever possible. DAC operates in a cooperative environment. Everyone can help keep costs down, and morale up.
To meet these goals,
- Current students enrolling after August 31st will be assessed a late registration fee of $15.
- Late payments will be assessed a fee of $15.00.
- Untidy areas may require a student to clean up after his / her self
- Costumes will continued to be provided by DAC, but older students or parents of younger students will need to iron them.
To insure that your needed dance attire is ready for your first class, come in before Augsut 19th to buy or order it. Feel free to offer your gently used dance wear for consignment through the DAC family email list..
Outgrown dance shoes? Donate them to the adopt-a-shoe box outside studio A. Applications are being accepted for 2010-2011 work-study positions in facility cleaning, and light office help. Inquire with Karyn Edison
