COSTUME FEES: |
|
| |
|
Howe Sound Dance Academy believes that performing is a fun and beneficial way to present that which a student has learned. We have performed for Canada Music Week, Trade Fair, Star Search, Hilltop House, Childrens’ Festivals and various dance competitions as well as during our year-end shows. Costumes and associated fees are required for these performances. This year HSDA produced nearly 500 costumes for performances.
There will be a costume fee of $50.00 per student per costume. This is to be paid in full at the time of registration. This fee provides parents with a “costume kit” consisting of pre-made items, pre-cut material, all notions and sewing instructions. If parents do not wish to sew they may an additional fee and have their costume sewn for them. Costumes are the property of the student.

EXTRA CLASSES, CLASS PLACEMENT, CHANGE OF SCHEDULE: |
|
| |
|
Sometimes during the year make-up classes may be held for previous or future cancellations. There is no charge for make-up classes.
Extra practices may be required during exam, competition and performance season. There will be an additional fee for any extra exam and/or competition classes. Additional fees are to be paid in advance directly to your teacher. The cost per half hour is $18.00, split across the number of students in a class.
From time to time, it is necessary to move a student from one class to another allowing her/him to progress more steadily. It is done in the best interest of the students. This will be done at the teacher’s discretion in consultation with the parent(s).
Although HSDA attempts to maintain a consistent class schedule, unforeseen circumstances may mandate a change. In these cases HSDA will make every effort to accommodate everyone but sometimes it is not possible. Advance notice will be given for any such changes.
