Show 2020 - Frequently Asked Questions...

How many costumes will I need to purchase? 

​

This year our costume pricing has changed. Your child will be billed for the amount of costumes required for the classes they undertake. The costumes are yours to keep, or you can sell them on afterwards if you prefer.

​

As a guide, based on the classes your child takes, the costs will be:

​

  • Ballet / Tap - 2 costumes required @ £25.00-£30 each. Total - between £50.00-60.00

  • Contemporary - 1 costume - Total between - £25-£30.00

  • Lyrical - 1 costume - Total between £25.00-£30

  • Street / Commercial - 3 costumes @ £25-30 each. Total between £75-90.00

  • Drama - 1 costume. Total between £20-25.00

​

Please note that depending on the cost of some costumes, you may find these come as a 2 in 1, where part of the costume is used in another routine.

​

Will my show costume invoices be the same cost every time? 

​

No, we have tried to spread the costs where we can but also tried to avoid a higher payment before and after Christmas. Please calculate an approximate cost for your child based on the guide above.
