NO jewelry of any kind! This includes earrings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, rings, anklets, etc. No fingernail or toenail polish!
DO NOT wear underwear or bras under your costumes. They will show through the costume on stage. We recommend nude or flesh colored leotards with clear straps for modesty purposes.
DO NOT allow the students to wear their costume(s) prior to photos, dress rehearsals, and the performances. Accidents can happen and we do not have replacement costumes.
DO NOT wash costumes in your washing machine nor by hand, you may have them dry cleaned only after the recital.
Make sure all alterations have been completed!
Label EVERYTHING!
Do not wear Recital tights until June 18th!
Ensure your dancer has all of the proper shoes.
No jewelry, gum, or nail polish.
Do not wait until the night before to pack.
All routines will wear their hair in a low bun parted at the dancer's middle of head.
No curls or bangs should be seen.
Due to a restrictive time schedule, there will be no special hair styles (Hairspray and gel are your friends!)
Hair neatly combed.
Dance shoes unless otherwise specified by teacher.
Compression shorts for quick changes
All dancers should wear make-up on stage.
Eye, lip and cheek color are very important as the harsh stage lights can wash a dancer's face out.
