COSTUMES EVERY class (except for Stretch/Technique classes) requires a Costume for their performance routine. A Costume Deposit of $75 is required for each class your dancer is enrolled in, and is due by October 30th.

MDE will make arrangements to hire a seamstress or have a costume ordered for each class. Teachers will design and purchase a costume for their routines. Please note costumes will be ordered several months before they will be worn, and that we will always try to accommodate for potential growth and buy a larger size as needed. As everyone grows at a different rate, it is impossible to ensure that all costumes will fit perfectly, however, we will do our best to have all dancers in well-fitting costumes for their performances.

This payment must be submitted to the MDE office as a Post-Dated Cheque or set up onto a Credit Card Payment Plan during Early Registration Week. Costume deposits are non-refundable after October 30th. This costume deposit will go towards the production of the dancer’s costume – any balance outstanding will be collected at the time when the costume has been completed. MDE does its very best to design costumes that can be worn again. Parents are encouraged to get involved with making the costumes to keep the costs down!

Costumes are designed for dancers in accordance with the latest trends so that costumes can be enjoyed long after the Recitals are over!
