Locations are usually within an hour’s drive of the studio.

In addition to recital costumes for their regular classes, company dancers will have 2 costumes. Expect to pay $90 - $150 for each costume. Additional shoes, tights, and accessories may be needed.Registration fees for competitions average about $75-$100 per routine. Company classes will perform 2 routines at each competition. Participation in Company costs approximately $900-$1,200 in additional costume and competition fees over the course of the year.Company dancers may have the option of purchasing a studio jacket for around $135.00 when an order is placed at the beginning of the school year.
