[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of current CityDance student here. I wish someone had broken this down for me when I started. I was pretty lost at the beginning too. I can’t speak to the audition process but typically placements don’t come out till late August after intensives. It seems strange that the fee was sent before placements. That sounds like an error. Usually placements come first, then you select classes and pay the fee, which is a deposit to reserve your dancer’s place in the year-long program. We set up a payment plan every year for the balance, depending on the number of classes she takes. The distinctions of select, pre, petite, etc. reflect the level and performance opportunities your kid will have.

The fee structure is based on performing and covers extra rehearsals outside of class time, costume rental and alterations, and production costs related to performances. Some schools build these costs into their year-long programs and some charge extra for things like the Nutcracker or make you buy costumes. CityDance charges a fee at the beginning of the year. At the lower levels, this fee reflects the number of classes your kid takes. At the conservatory levels, the fee covers master classes, coaching, more performance opportunities, college recommendations, etc.

Hope this helps.[/quote]

So, yes, that does help.  But the fact that I am getting it from you, and not the studio is not ok.  We're going to look into Maryland Youth Ballet.  They have to be run better than this place.[/quote]
