Costumes have been ordered and will be passed out on a class-by-class basis once they arrive (typically in February/March). Please keep the general information in mind once you receive your costume and as you prepare for recital day.
Costumes:
Costumes should remain in the garment bag provided to you until dress rehearsal or the day of recital. If you need an extra garment bag, you can pick one up from the front desk. If your dancer has a tutu as part of their costume we ask that you hang it upside down from a hanger by the leotard portion of the costume. This keeps the tutu fluffy and not wrinkled.
**If your dancer is in multiple numbers and potentially multiple shows, please label every costume prior to recital.
Tights:
There should be tights for your dancer in their garment bag. Dancers will wear pink tights for ballet and tan tights for tap or jazz. There will be no tights for acro.
Shoes:
Please make sure that your dancer's shoes fit! Many of our Combo level dancers are growing quickly and have had to borrow shoes at the studio lately because they do not have shoes that fit their feet. We won't be able to provide anyone with shoes to borrow for recital.
Hair:
A low bun with a center part is required for ALL CLASSES. A tutorial is listed below:

Hairpieces:
Please check your costume bag to see if your child received a hairpiece. Not all costumes came with hairpieces; they will only be worn if they came with your assigned costume. All hairpieces will be worn on the right side of the bun. If the hairpiece you received is a ponytail cover, we will not be using it.
Makeup:
We always recommend some makeup for dancers so that they don't get washed out on stage under the lights. However, we don't require a certain level of makeup. We highly recommend mascara, blush, and lipstick for minimum coverage. Dancers in multiple numbers may consider a setting powder or spray to lock in their makeup as they are dancing and sweating more.
