Recitals

The highlight of the dance year is Teaching Little Children’s annual recital. This is when dancers have the opportunity to showcase what they have learned. Each class will learn a special dance and costumes are ordered for those who choose to participate. Recital is OPTIONAL, however, 99% of students do take part. If you have already paid your recital fees (full or partial), please read all information and mail/fax in your order form. You can skip straight to the recital documents by clicking here.

Costumes

Because of deadlines placed by manufacturers, we must order costumes early. They are a specialty item, similar to wedding and bridesmaid dresses. Costumes are made once the order is received by the costume manufacturer. It takes many weeks to manufacture costumes once an order is placed. We also need to process and assemble costumes in order to deliver them to you. Costume manufacturers do not accept cancellations for costumes. FOR THIS REASON, RECITAL FEES ARE NOT REFUNDABLE.

Tights

Dancers are required to wear tights. We have included them in your recital fee. Mark the appropriate size on your order form.

Sizing

Here’s where we need your help! On the order form, estimate what size you expect your child to wear in June. Teachers will measure all children during the month of December. Both the measurements you provide and those taken by the teacher will be used to determine what size costume to order.

Orders received after deadline

We will make every attempt possible to get a costume for dancers who either start late, or do not get their order in by the deadline.  If an order is placed after November 30th, there are no guarantees that the costume will be available by the picture dates.  When placing a late order we will check with the manufacturer for a ship date.  If the costume is not available by the recital date, we will contact you and  refund your money.  TLC charges a $10 late fee due to the fact that the manufacturers charge TLC an additional $10 and sometimes more to ship a late costume.

Dress rehearsal

As always, dress rehearsal is mandatory.  This gives your child time to get familiar with new surroundings and get comfortable being on the big stage.
