ELITE DANCE EXTREME DANCERS (COMPETITION TEAM):

ATTENTION DANCERS & PARENTS:
We will be doing a TEAM fund raiser starting: NEXT WEEK (October 6-8). We will be doing the Little Caesars Pizza Kit fund raiser. EVERY class on the competition team is doing a prop routine this year. In order to help cover the cost for team props each dancer is required to sell 5 items in the fund raiser (5 Pizza Kits). **This fund raiser can also be used for each dancer to earn money towards their warm-ups & competition fees.** The cost for our team warm-ups are $85 each, this includes ALL of the embroidery, including dancer’s name on the jacket. The cost for competition fees is estimated to be $10 per routine per competition. Each class will be competing TWO routines at TWO competitions for a total estimated amount of $40 for competition fees. (Highest level on the team may possibly compete at an additional competition). However, dancers that sell more than 5 Pizza Kits, can put the additional profit towards the cost of warm-ups or competition fees. For EACH Pizza Kit sold OVER 5 that each dancer sells, $5 will be put towards their warm-ups or competition fees. EXAMPLE: If a dancer sells a total of 10 pizza kits, 5 would go towards team props and the remaining 5 pizza kits sold ($25) would go towards the dancer’s costs for warm-ups or competition fees. THIS FUND RAISER IS FOR PROPS, WARM-UPS & COMPETITION FEES ONLY!!! THERE WILL BE NO CASH BACK TO ANY OF THE DANCERS!! (This fund raiser is NOT for costume costs or tuition).

Below is a list of how many Pizza Kit items each dancer would need to sell to cover their costs.

CLASS PROP Sell: 5 Pizza Kit Items Towards team props
WARM-UPS (with Name) Sell: 17 Pizza Kit Items (+ 5 for props) $85
COMPETITION FEES Sell: 8 Pizza Kit Items (+ 5 for props) $40
CLASS PROP + WARM-UPS + COMPETITION FEES Sell: 30 Pizza Kit Items $85 + $40 + Team Props

Please make all checks for the Pizza Kit Fund Raiser payable to: 24/7 DANCE COMPANY
