The ITD Parent Portal has costume requirements!
Once you log in to to 'info' and costumes' to see lots of important details regarding tights, shoes and more.
Undergarments - all students should have either a nude bodysuit, or nude seamless underwear and Capezio clear back adjustable bra. (https://www.bodythings.ca/capezio-nude-beige-bra-with-clear-back-strap.html).
Please note, not all bras will suit the needs of all dancers, costumes or movment styles. Dancers may need to accumulate strapless bras, sports bras etc. in addition to the Capezio, and use their judgment on what will suit their needs for each piece.
For costume distribution, bring a small suitcase or Rac and Roll to hold them. Ensure you are wearing a black bodysuit and tan tights to help the fitting process go quickly.
Any supplies you need will be listed under the costume section on the portal.
Costumes should be hung up and protected with a garment bag or similar.
For shows, layout costumes in the suitcase in the order of the dances (i.e. first number on top and finale on bottom).
Consider providing large Ziploc bags to pack the costumes in after they have been worn for showcase and spring show quick changes.
Pack makeup remover wipes, spare safety pins, hairpins, elastics and hairspray. Always have an emergency kit on hand at performances!
Please wear your team jacket to all events!
Rhinestones
Some costumes will require rhinestones.
For the costumes that need to be stoned, the stones will be supplied by ITD and sent home with the dancers.
See instructions on how the stones are to be applied: Rhinestones
The recommended supplies are listed on the portal under costumes and are the responsibility of families to provide.

Quo liner stick and liquid glue combo works well.
Red lip Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink "Dancer"
A lip brush helps with precise application, specially with the cupid's bow. A clear lip liner can help with clean application.
Make up removing wipes are a must for every dance bag!
Center part, slick back to low pony or bun is our standard hair style
When styling your child's hair, begin with damp hair and ample gel. This will make a big difference in the longevity of your hair style.
Elastics and pins must match hair colour.
Bring a brush to smooth ponytails before going on stage.
Please note, occasionally choreographers will request different hair and make up to suit their piece's costume and overall style. We will accommodate this where we can once the final event schedules are released.
Practicing is important!
For show music see your ITD parent portal under Info > Documents & Files > Class Music.
Videos are in the same area under class files tab.
Please ensure you are noting the call times for shows and bringing your dancers on time.
Please drop your dancers off and ensure they make into the facility.
Competitions can run ahead or behind, so check the TeamSnap app regularly.
If you choose to stay and watch at Senior home performances - we ask you stay at the back and leave seating and best views for residents and guests.
We also ask that parents refrain from going backstage at any shows, unless they are the designated volunteer. Space is often tight and there is a lot of activity to get ready for the show.
