This includes class tuition and Performance Costume Rental Fees. (cheaper then normal tuition rates for non team members)
Extra Expenses:
· Being part of the Dance Team will require certain expected Dance apparel and Team apparel that will be purchased by each individual dancer on their own. Fundraising will most likely help all dancers help pay for Palm Springs …thus expect to purchase some if not all of the following items on your own.
