COSTUMES, TIGHTS, SHOES, HAIR, & MAKEUP


Dancers are responsible for their own make-up, socks, tights and shoes. *EXCEPTION is Petites - the red/white striped tights are included with the costume. 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 $9 a pair and Adult size tights are $11 a pair*

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


Costumes: COSTUME PICK UP will start on Monday, December 7 at both studios and will continue through the following week during regular office hours.  


*Costumes will be located at the dancer's primary studio.*


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