I am working on getting you a more specific guide on costumes and the cost involved. I will email you or give your dancer a paper with the info.</font><br /><font color="#0000ff">But, in theory, it's $55 per class.&nbsp; &nbsp;I put everything into the costume fund and then use that to help supply costumes and props...if possible.&nbsp;</font><br /><br /><br /><font color="#0000ff"><strong>I have already started to buy class costumes...If you can pay Costume Fee now... (in October) that would be AWESOME!!&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</font><br /><br /><strong>Also on a Side NOTE:&nbsp;</strong><font color="#9900ff"><strong> if you can pay cash, check or Venmo that is very helpful because there are no transaction fees, which gives me more money to work with for&nbsp;costumes</strong>.</font>&nbsp; Credit Cards that earn cash back, especially sky miles or&nbsp;<span>corporate&nbsp;</span><strong>card</strong><span>, foreign&nbsp;</span><strong>credit card</strong><span>&nbsp;or a certain rewards&nbsp;</span><strong>card....that fit under non-qualified rate charge the highest fees on my end.&nbsp; Its about 3-3.5%&nbsp; fee of the total transaction.&nbsp; I only mention this because it does make a big difference and I do have quite a few parents who use this type of card on my website.&nbsp; &nbsp;which does cost me about an extra $150 in fees each month. You can still use that card,&nbsp; I just thought i'd mention it to you if you are willing to use a different method.&nbsp; NO PRESSURE THO!&nbsp; :)&nbsp; Overall, I appreciate your support...!!!&#128522;</strong><br /><br /><br /><strong><u>CALENDAR</u></strong><br /><font size="4"><font color="#ff00ff">1.October: all classes run as normal</font></font><br /><br /><br /><font size="4"><font color="#ff00ff">2.
