Cost of Joey Santos Figure Skating Designs:

It should be noted that the price of custom designed ice skating clothes may be considered too high for many ice skaters. Joey's designs are for very serious competitive figure skaters who are used to spending money on custom competition figure skating clothes, stones, perfection, and special details. Clients should expect to pay between $750 and $2000 for Joey's figure skating creations.

Skating Dress Design Camp For Figure Skaters:

Each year, Joey's Dress Camp, takes place at Colorado Dansport in Littleton, Colorado. The camp was originally organized by figure skating coach, Amy Schneider. With Joey's assistance, the figure skaters in the camp spend a day designing and drawing their dresses on paper. Participants also choose fabrics and stones.

They return two weeks later. During the two weeks, Joey does everything: He makes a custom pattern for each participant, cuts all the material, and makes the skating costumes.

When the girls return, they come back to put the designs they created on the first day on their dress. Participants do all the embellishing, including applying rhinestones and doing required handiwork like attaching hooks and eyes.

They may return one or two more times to complete their projects. Joey hopes that the skaters in his camp will stretch their creativity and imagination. He is there to inspire and help.

When all is completed, camp participants put on a fashion show. They also get instruction on applying makeup before the fashion show.

After the fashion show, the entire group goes out to dinner to celebrate.

The cost of Joey's Skating Dress Design Camp starts at $500, but the rates may change each year. The camp's price includes fabric, rhinestones, instruction, makeup, the fashion show, and Joey's labor.
