All students have the option of having their photograph taken in costume by Revival Arts Studio at FVAD’s School Photo Days 2018 on  June 16-7, the weekend before our school shows.

This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain extremely high quality images by an award-winning photographer.  The schedule and order forms are below.

Students performing in the school shows may have a photograph taken in one or more of their costume for each dance.  They may be in a group photo for each dance, and/or an individual pose.

We encourage all students to attend for the group photo as there is no charge to be in this photo.  Students wishing to obtain a copy of the group photo do then need to purchase one.  Students must place an order for a photo item in order to have an individual pose taken.

Students not performing in the school shows may still have their photograph taken, and may borrow a costume if desired.  Please inform the office ahead of time so as to be scheduled in the Photo Day schedule in this case.

School Photo Day Order Form 2018 (coming soon).  Please use one form per dance photo, and write the Name of the Dance on your form under the Contact Information.

As a general rule, if your child changes costume and you wish to have another photo taken, you will need a separate order form.  Forms are to be handed to the photographer (or to our staff) with payment on Photo Day.  Order forms are also available at the Academy office.

Photo Day Schedule 2018 (coming soon)

View the Hair, Makeup and Footwear (coming soon) needs for each costume.

Please be sure to arrive at FVAD at the Arrive Time, and be ready to collect  your child at the Pick-Up Time.  Additional time has already been scheduled for students to be changed in and out of costume between these times.
