AFTERGLOW DETAILS
At Ann Parsley School of Dance, great care is taken in selecting age-appropriate, high-quality costumes for each class. Our goal is to ensure dancers feel confident, comfortable, and stage-ready.
Each student will need one costume per dance subject they are enrolled in.
Tights and shoes are not included in the costume price and must be purchased separately.
Costume order forms and payments are due in November to ensure timely delivery for studio photos and organized distribution.
Costumes cannot be ordered unless the full deposit has been paid.
Please note: Costume manufacturers do not accept cancellations or offer refunds, so APSD is unable to provide costume fee refunds under any circumstance.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us create a successful recital experience for every dancer.
