UWA Campus Carol Merrill Academy Dance & Tumble Recital!

We are so excited about our second annual Carol Merrill Academy UWA dance and tumble recital. Our recital is Sunday, May 4^th, 2014. The recital will be performed at 3:00 P.M. at Bibb Graves. Each girl student will perform 2 routines, a Ballet routine and a tumbling routine. Boy students will only perform a tumbling routine.

Each girl will receive a ballet costume, headpiece for this costume and any other accessories needed for the ballet routine. They will also receive a tumble costume, headpiece for this costume and any accessories needed for the tumble routine. You will need to supply ballet pink tights and ballet shoes for the ballet routine. The girls will perform the tumble routine barefoot so make sure the tights are transition tights. The girls may wear small rhinestone earring. A picture of the costumes will follow. This picture will have details on how the hair should be worn.

A non refundable down payment of $75 is due Wednesday, March 19^th, for the girls and $25 for the boys. The remaining balance due on all costume orders is Wednesday, April 9^th.  We won’t know the remainder of the balance until the order is placed.

Carol Merrill Academy policy states that we cannot order a student any costumes without a down payment and student will not receive their costumes until the balance is paid in full.

Carol Merrill Academy policy states that we cannot order a student any costumes who has an outstanding balance due on their tuition account. You tuition account must be current. If you turn in a $75 payment and you have a balance due on your tuition account, this $75 payment will not be applied to your costume down payment, it will be applied to your tuition account.

Participating in a recital is a very rewarding and an exciting dance and tumble experience. The students work hard all year and this is their chance to “Show Off” the skills for family and friends.

This recital is optional. Students at the UWA Campus School that are a part of the Carol Merrill Academy dance and tumble program are not required to participate.
