Costume fees for 8 and older are of $70.00 per class per dancer. A $65.00 recital costume fee per class per dancer for the 3/4/5 and 5/6/7 year olds. These costs include tax. The costume fee is non refundable. Failure to pay for costumes with your registration fee will result in a $25.00 late fee per costume per month the payment is late. Each year for the finale H.D.A does something special and it might result in purchasing a prop or t-shirt not exceeding the amount of $20.00.

Photo Release

Periodically throughout the year pictures are taken of classes in session and during special events. These photos become the property of The Hudson Dance Academy Expressive Art Center and maybe used in newspaper articles or advertisements.

Dedication and Commitment

Dance takes a great deal of dedication and commitment. It would be expected that you fulfill your obligation of the 10 month term. It also teaches children the importance of sticking to something they have committed to. We expect dancers to be in uniform as they will dance better and try harder. We do not allow sloppy sweats/t-shirts/short/pants/ or jeans in the dance class. They must be in dance attire, with appropriate shoes, and hair pulled back in either a bun or pony tail. No Gum or Cell Phones are allowed in class.
