Costume + Shoe/Dancewear Sale
AND Level 2 Costume Measurement Day

We are holding a Costume/Dancewear/Shoe Sale on Friday September 7th !

If you are wanting to sell your costumes please bring them to the studio during the week of intensive (next week).

Attached you will find a Costume Sale Form and you must fill one of them out for each costume you plan on selling. We will determine the final price that the costume will sell for.


For the dance wear and shoe sale, you will simply bring your items on the sale day and you can price and sell your own items.

Costume/Dancewear Sale Schedule:
Friday September 7th
12:00-4:00 Teachers ONLY costume shop
4:00-5:00 Shoe and Dancewear sale (parents stay to sell their own items)
4:00-8:00 Dancer costume sizing for 2018/19 costumes

This shoe sale will be open to all level 2 dancers and parents. If you are wanting to look into purchasing costumes for solos, etc we would love for you to look into these costumes! Our teachers will also be doing some shopping so that we might hopefully be able to save parents some dollars in the costume department!

Let us know if you have any questions! Mandy and Bri will be organizing this event so any questions can be directed to them.

NUVO Convention

Registration for NUVO officially opens next week! Charges for NUVO dance convention will go through on Friday August 24th. Thank you for your patience in the changing charge date for this convention.

We believe waiting for the accurate price will end up saving our families money in the long run but if you have any questions just let Bri know!

Competitive Uniform Lists

Please find the competitive uniform lists attached below. You can purchase all your items at either Bodythings on 17th ave or City Dancewear on crowchild.

We have updated this list with new items, so please make sure you are purchasing the correct items this year!


Note:
If you have a dancer that is in both competitive and rec classes, you will notice that the uniform lists are different. Please follow the competitive uniform for any competitive classes. If you REC classes overlap in style to your competitive classes, you can wear your competitive uniform items (ex, ballet shoes). However if you are taking REC Hip Hop or REC tap and neither of those styles in competitive classes then please follow the REC uniform guidelines.
