This is a volunteer-run event open to all dance families.

If you have costumes that you would like to sell please attend this event! Bring a small table, garment hanger or rack and roll to showcase your costumes for sale. Space is limited and the studio does not have ballet bars to hang your items.


Transactions will not go through the studio. Please bring cash!

Thank you!

• Physical distancing of 2 meters will be maintained in all common areas and in dance studios when possible.
• If your dancer is sick (even if symptoms resemble a mild cold), or has tested positive for COVID-19, they are required to stay home.  Please notify the studio that your dancer will be absent.
• Lobby will remain closed to all parents (*preschool: only 1 parent or caregiver accompany their preschool dancer for drop off or pick up and only if needed)
