212200 - Dance Costume
Farmington Recreation Dancers and Participants,
Farmington Recreation will be hosting our Annual Dance Recital for those participants in our Winter/Spring 2020 Dance Classes with Miss Phyllis and Miss Nadia at the conclusion of the session (dates TBD). If you would like your dancer to participate in the recital, the requirements are taking the Winter/Spring Dance Classes and purchasing a costume and the appropriate color of tights and shoes.
Miss Phyllis and Miss Nadia will begin measurements for costumes during classes starting November 1. Miss Phyllis will have an assistant for Saturday’s class coming in on November 2 to measure the students during class. Students should be in their leotards or tight-fitting clothing to get a good measurement. The chest, waist, hips and girth will be measured and if they are wearing bulky clothes their costume might be too big.
The fee for the costume is $65.00 and is separate from class registration fees. Credit card payment for costumes may be made online by clicking on the shopping cart below or you may leave a check or exact cash with Miss Phyllis or Miss Nadia. The costume fee must be paid for by November 10. Costumes will be ordered on November 15. If a student registers for the spring session, who is not participating in the fall session, they will need to pay the costume fee of $75.00 by January 31 and costumes will be ordered February 5. For the spring session it is not a guarantee that a costume can be ordered if they go out of stock. Any costume payment that is received after November 10 will be held until the February 5 order and they are subject to availability.
Registration for the Winter/Spring Classes will be available in December.
If you have any questions about costumes, please see Miss Phyllis or Miss Nadia at the start of your next class.
Thank You,
Recreation Staff

The actual court measures 44' x 20' and the net is 2'10" at the center. The perforated oval paddles made of metal-bound composite materials have short handles. The rules are the same as for tennis, except that balls may be taken off the back or side wire walls after first striking inside the court proper, and only one serve is allowed.
