Dancers with short hair must pull their hair SECURELY away from the face. {hair clipped back, secured with gel, bobby pins, etc}. Please ensure that all fly-aways are hair sprayed back. If the teacher wants a specific hair style for their dance they will let you know.

Please bring these boxes to class with you on the last week of class (May 26-31). Additionally, these will need to come with you to Dress Rehearsal and Recital! Families are encouraged to decorate their boxes and make it special!
Please be sure to label your box with your dancers first name and last initial.
