PERFORMANCES AND COMPETITIONS
Competitions
If your dancer has been invited by the teacher to participate in a competition, you have the right to accept or decline. Entry fees apply and range from $15 - $95 per student in 2023, depending on whether it is a group, trio, duo, or solo entry. Plus extra admin costs and rental of rehearsal space.
Please let us know whether you would like to be a part of this. Fees due January each year for competitions happening in Feb-May.
Recital
In June we will have a year-end show. There is no extra fee to participate, but audience members, including parents, will need to purchase a ticket.
All tickets $13 each, but children 4 and under are free.
Parents helping with tickets and other recital tasks: most tickets are free, but please confirm with Donna if you would like a free ticket
REGISTRATION FEES
We charge each dancer an annual registration fee of $20. If you are registering several people in the same family at the same time we offer a discounted rate of $35 per family.
Your registration fee covers both gymnastics at Chilliwack Gymnastics Club, which is in the same building, and dance at Chilliwack Dance School.
If you have already registered for gymnastics this year, you do not have to pay the $20 registration fee for dance classes.

DANCE FAQS
Dance Attire
You are responsible for providing your dancer with proper dance clothing and footwear for class. This includes tap shoes for tap classes, and ballet shoes for ballet classes. Come dressed to move - stretchy clothing is ideal, particularly body suit and tights. For hip hop classes running shoes are fine. Baton classes: you must purchase a baton that fits your dancer. We can supply one if that makes it easier. Cost will be whatever the going rate is at the time, probably about $30.
Costumes
Costumes are required for participation in competitions, parades, and in the year-end show/recital in June. We encourage all students to participate.
We make an effort to keep costume costs down to $45 - $80 per dancer per dance. Some could be a bit more or cheaper. For solos and small groups there may be costumes available for rent. Rental price is $13 per full costume.
Most of our costumes are purchased from a costume company.
It is the teacher's choice whether you will be expected to find or sew your own costume, rent from the studio, buy one on your own that the teacher has chosen, or buy one that the teacher has purchased.
