I knew of the $60 costume fee for this years recital (up from 55 last year) but then received a phone call that there was an increase of $30, to bring it to 90. Costumes are beautiful, but that's too much for a costume that will be worn once, for about 4 minutes! And not being told the cost up front made me mad.\r
And classes are cancelled if school is closed, or teacher goes out of town for holidays, but you still pay the same each month. I feel a little cheated. Overall, a great place to learn...but is it worth it? Also...the big recital is ALWAYS graduation/Father's Day weekend in June. Hard to make it there if you have siblings graduating from any high school in the area. Keep that in mind.
Pros: dedicated and talented teachers
Cons: expensive costumes, classes cancelled w/o makeups
