What to Wear: Wear dance attire or comfortable clothing (No jeans). There will be a lot of movement and stretching. Also, because this dance form focuses on the hips and abdomen, it is best to wear clothing that makes this area visible. However, bare midriffs are not required. No shoes.
What to Bring: Bring a pen and journal to every class. Bring your school calendar on the first day.
What you must purchase: Each girl is asked to purchase a few items which we will order for you at our wholesale discount: Student Zils $15, an instructional Rhythm CD $15, a hip scarf $35, pantaloons $60 (you choose your own color), and a black choli $40. In addition, you must also purchase a dance journal on your own.
Cost: Though the SEEDs program is run mostly on grants and donations, we do ask for students to make a monthly contribution to help us cover basic costs. We are requesting of each student a monthly payment of $200. *There are scholarships available. Please fill out the scholarship application and contact Pomegranate Studios to discuss your scholarship needs. Pomegranate SEEDs will NOT turn any dancer away because of financial need! Please contact us if you have questions!
We are looking forward to another year of SEEDs®, and excited to share our love of dance!
