WELCOME TO THE CREATIVE DANCE CENTER!
FALL 2023 - SPRING 2024

          
            Lessons will begin on Tuesday, October 10th and continue into June at which time a recital will take place at the East Hampton High School.  Recital dates and rehearsal schedule information will be posted and distributed when available.  
            All costumes for stage use will be supplied by the Creative Dance Center and after use, must be returned.  There will be a $25.00 rental fee per student to help defray costume upkeep, which includes repairs, additions, and accessories.  This fee is due in January 2024 and should be included in January’s tuition.  The costume base, which must be obtained by each student and can be used during the school year consists of the following: a black long sleeve, scoop neck leotard, pink tights, pink ballet slippers, and black tap shoes for girls; black dance pants, black ballet slippers, and black tap shoes for boys.  Advanced students need to also own a black tank top leotard if so required at recital time. These items may be purchased through the Creative Dance Center.  Students may wear any color or style of leotard and tights during classes and hair must be pulled back out of the face.  NO STREET CLOTHES PLEASE.       
            Payment for lessons is due on the first lesson of each month.  There are no adjustments to monthly payments due to unattended lessons and payment does not fluctuate according to the number of weeks in a month, as some months have 3 weeks and some have 5 weeks.  Missed lessons may be made up in lower level classes.  Prompt payment is necessary and very much appreciated. Cash, checks, or Venmo (@creativedance) are accepted.
