The Les Cygnettes, Les Demoiselles and Les Messieurs programs are open to any child whose parent is an active member in good standing. The Parent will incur their membership fee as well as the program registration fee for the Les Cygnettes, Les Demoiselles or Les Messieurs program. The program fee includes a set number or events/performances clearly outlined in the year line-up BUT we also offer additional events/performances that each program participant may choose to attend for an additional fee (above and beyond the $295.00 for the program fee).
When registering your child for the program you are agreeing to the below listed policies and parameters.
"Program Participant" etiquette and expectations refers to the teen registered for the program.
Program Participant Etiquette & Expectations
