COSTUMES, TIGHTS, SHOES, HAIR, & MAKEUP

Dancers are responsible for their own make-up, socks, tights and shoes. Costumes were ordered by the studio.

Tights & Shoes: To ensure there are no discrepancies in color and style, students wear special dance tights (not nylons) and specific shoes for their performance. We have child tights and shoes for sale at each studio. 

*Child size tights are $12 a pair*

*Child size ballet, jazz and tap shoes vary in price based on type*

Costumes: COSTUME PICK UP will start on Monday, June 2 at the Anderson studio and will continue through the following week during regular office hours.  

*Costumes will only be released to the parent or a responsible adult and only if the account is paid and up-to-date.*

Hair (see guide below): 

Tutus & Bowties = half up, half down curled with included hair piece fastened as pictured. 

Minis = half up, half down curled with included hair piece fastened as pictured.

Petites = low right side bun with hat fastened on left side as pictured.

Basics, Building & Graded Technique = middle part, low straightened ponytail - see specific costume page for any hair accessory

Boys are encouraged to add some product to their hair as well for a sleek look.

Makeup (see guide below):  Stage lights are very bright and can wash out features. In order to see every dancer’s sparkling eyes and smile, girls wear makeup for the Spring Recital: lipstick, blush, eye shadow, and mascara are recommended.
