Registration
There will be a $25 non-refundable registration deposit due with the registration form. The registration deposit will ensure that your dancer will have a spot. All dancers will need to fill out a registration form. The registration fee will go towards production expenses to allow all ticket sales and any profit to be donated to The Raleigh Rescue Mission.
How much does it cost?
Please note that any money that is paid will be put towards costumes, props, programs, printing, etc. Heather’s Dance does not gain any profit from this event. EVERYTHING goes to the mission!
| $100 for one costume | $175 for two costumes | $230 for three costumes |
When filling out the registration form your dancer will need to choose which style/styles of dance that they would like to be part of in the production. Each style of dance requires a different costume.
You have the option to pay the amount due in full OR pay according to the following payment schedule:

Fundraising
It is our goal to raise as much money as possible for The Raleigh Rescue Mission. This production is such a great opportunity for the dancers to learn the importance of giving back to others.
Each dancer will have the responsibility of raising a minimum of $100. They can do this by seeking donations from family members, teachers, and friends. Please note that $100 is the MINIMUM, but dancers are definitely welcome to raise more!
Stage Fee
Our goal with this show is to have 100% of the ticket sales be donated to the mission. In order for that to happen all expenses must be covered.
Rather than of having tons of different fundraisers, each family will be required to pay a $55 Stage Fee. The stage fee will help cover the auditorium rental, programs, props, sound equipment, etc. This allows everyone in the production to contribute the same amount to help us obtain our goal of donating ALL TICKET SALES! The Stage Fee will be due by November 16th.
Rehearsals
Rehearsals are a commitment that MUST BE KEPT throughout the production. We cannot put on a production without all cast members being dedicated to ensuring the show is a GREAT performance. I try really hard to make this production fun for families while not being a heavy burden. I make it a priority to make it convenient for all ages and their other activities. With only having 4 months to put the production together, ATTENDANCE IS VERY IMPORTANT. On the next page, I have listed the dates for ALL rehearsals. Specific rehearsal times will be sent out after the cast list has been created. MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
