Dance Company Fees:
The following fees will be due at the beginning of each month, beginning with September and throughout the
dance season (September- July). The fees cover rehearsal time, renting studio space, director fees, and some choreography
fees.
Mini Fees Per Month- $25 in addition to studio tuition costs
Company 52 Fees Per Month- $55 in addition to studio tuition costs
Company 21 Fees Per Month- $55 in addition to studio tuition costs
Company 13 Fees Per Month- $65 in addition to studio tuition costs
In addition to monthly company fees, the dancers will have conventions and competitions many months throughout
the dance year. At these conventions and competitions, the company dancers receive classes and training from the best
instructors in the country. They also receive technical critiques on their dances at competition. Conventions cost any where
from $100-$250 per dancer for two full days of classes (Mini’s will not be required to attend any conventions). Competitions
cost between $18-$30 per dancer per dance. Please remember that this does not include hotel stays (which you book yourself)
and personal food costs. Many company families share hotel rooms together in order to save money on these costs.Convention/Competition

Garment bags and dance bags with embroidered names are optional.
Solos, Duets, Trios: OPTIONAL- A select few students from each company level who score high enough in auditions
may be asked if they would like to compete a solo, duet, or trio. If interested, the dancer would need to pay an additional
competition fee when we compete (costs more than group dances, usually $40-$75), as well as a choreography fee to the choreographer
($50 an hour for rehearsing, can be split between dancers in duets and trios).
SAVE THE DATE- This year we will be teaching all of the competition dances at a week-long dance camp. The
camp dates are August 13-17th and the girls will need to dance one hour per competition dance per day. The fee
for this is:
Mini’s- $100
Company 52- $200
Company 21- $200
Company 13- $250
These fees include competition choreography, teaching, and rehearsal for August (1 rehearsal a week after
camp).Required Classes Company Dancers Must Take at Suzanne’s Dance School for the 2007/2008 Dance Year:
Mini Company is required to take: 1 Ballet/Tap Combo class, 1 Jazz Class, and 1 Rehearsal
(maximum of one half hour) per week
Company 52 is required to take: 1 Ballet class, 1 Tap class, 2 Jazz classes, 1 Hip Hop class,
and 1 Rehearsal (maximum of one hour and a half) per week
Company 21 is required to take: 1-2 Ballet classes, 1 Tap class, 2 Jazz classes, 1 Hip Hop

Company 13 is required to take: 2 Ballet classes, 1 Tap class, 2 Jazz classes, 1 Hip Hop

We believe in the importance of developing well-rounded dancers. This is accomplished by taking classes in
many different dance styles and subjects, as is required for participation in the company. This will allow the dancers to
compete more successfully and keep up in all styles of dance at conventions. It will also greatly help dancers who plan to
move on to be professionals.
