Competition Fees
At Studio 55, we like to attend three competitions with one being a convention. Fees for the season will be discussed in the parent meeting at the beginning of the year. These fees are solely for the competition and have nothing to do with the studio. We like to bring in the best choreographers for our competitive numbers, so those fees will differ and be announced in advance.

All competitive members are required to have their Studio 55 jacket. This will be personalized with their name to wear at all events.
