Our first Kids Night Out is Saturday, October 18 from 5–7pm for kids ages 5–11 and only $25 per person. The theme is Halloween! Dancers are encouraged to wear costumes that are dance friendly. You don’t have to be a Carver Dance Center student to attend. Spots are limited sign-up soon on the Parent Portal.
UPSTAIRS STUDIO STUDENTS
If you take a class upstairs, please be respectful of the yoga studio down the hall by keeping your voices low while in the hallway and not touching things that belong to them.
TUITION/COSTUMES
A reminder that tuition fees and costume deposits are now combined and should post as a single amount. This amount will post to your account on the first of each month and needs to be paid by the 10th of each month to avoid the $15 late fee. There is a 10% discount if you pay each month by cash. If you have already paid by cash for the entire year but your tuition gets posted, please let me know so I can correct the error.
