    Dance is a Performing Art
 

The annual performance gives the dancers an opportunity to express themselves in the art of dance, and to demonstrate their talent to family and friends.  Equally important is the experience of performing in an artistic setting, creating self-esteem and confidence, which will follow them into their adult lives.

DeLarue Dance Centre's 41st performance "Oh, The Places You'll Go", was held at the Heymann Performing Arts Center on June 5th, 2011.  We hope you enjoyed the performance and we are all looking forward to another great year.

  Costume Orders:
 
Costumes are ordered during the month of December and are usually received and distributed during March and April.
 
Costume charges are reflected on your November statement and must be paid in full by November 30th along with tuition in order for your costume to be ordered.  If it is necessary to order a costume after the original order is placed (due to late payments) there will be no guarantee of receiving the costume by performance date.
   
  Costume Meetings:
 
Costume meetings are scheduled as we receive them.  Each student will receive a notice informing you of the day and time their meeting will be held.  These meetings are necessary in order to provide parents and students information regarding costumes and therefore is very important both parent and student are in attendance.  If an account is paid on or after a costume meeting is scheduled, the costume will be handed out during the following week.
 
 
▪▪ Some classes may require special shoes for the performance which will require an additional charge.
 
▪▪ Any alterations that may be necessary are not included in costume fees and must be taken care of on an individual basis.
