Recital Dance FAQs How do I register and pay for Recital Dance Programs? There are two payment options: • Pay in full for the 9-month Recital Dance Program. • The first payment is due at the time of registration and then enroll in the automatic payment plan where an additional two equal payments will be charged to a credit/debit card. These payments will occur on December 1, 2023 and March 1, 2024. Each class payment will be charged individually. Please call 630-848-5000 to notify us of any credit card changes. Credit/debit cards that are declined will be charged a $25 service fee by the Naperville Park District and may result in the forfeiture of this payment option. How do I pay and get measured for the dance costume? Included in the cost of the dance program is a nonrefundable dance costume fee. Costumes are ordered at the end of November and this cost is nonrefundable after the order has been placed. Parents are responsible for alterations if needed. Exchanges will be made only if approved by the instructor and Dance Coordinator and communicated within three days of receiving the costume. Costumes will be distributed in class as they arrive in early 2024. Will more Recital Programs be offered that begin in January? In the Winter Program Guide, which is released in early December, we will have a few additional new programs that will be a part of the recital. These new recital programs will be beginner level programs for dancers ages 3-12 years old. If your child is enrolled in a seasonal program for the fall, they will have an opportunity to register for a new recital program that begins in January. Recital classes that begin in the fall will not be open for registration in the winter.
