- lyrical classes wear suntan tights and tan lyrical or tan jazz shoes
- jazz & hip hop classes wear suntan tights (or black socks for boys) and black jazz shoes
- modern/contemporary classes wear suntan tights & usually perform barefoot unless otherwise specified
*AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE*
Recital costumes will be brought to the studio for students to try on and ensure proper fit so any exchanges can be made asap.
PLEASE BE ADVISED OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. please dress your children in tights and leotards (or other tight fitting clothing) so costumes can be easily tried on OVER their clothes. We need to get the best idea of how the costumes fit and it’s easier to slip them over a leotard or tank top & leggings or shorts rather than trying to stuff bulky clothing in or make the student strip down to their undies 🙂 we will NOT be allowing them to go one at a time to the bathroom; we’ll be using the dance room as our giant dressing room so we can help as needed and costume pieces aren’t lost (and if there’s a problem we can hopefully fix it promptly)
2. the teachers and helpers will dress the students as to avoid loss of essential pieces and so we can explain what’s included and how to wear the costume or if any adjustments will need to be made (sometimes straps need attached or shortened, etc., usually very minor things) THEN we’ll come to the lobby to show the parents as soon as all students have their costumes on and ready. We will also take pictures to send to families so those who aren’t in the lobby to see can still see the costumes.
3. costumes will NOT be sent home with children until the first week of May
4. if your child isn’t in class this week, we’ll hold his/her costume for them to try the following week
We do our best to make sure costume week goes smoothly but usually the entire class time is spent putting costumes on, running the dance a time or two, then taking them off so we can be sure everything is in the proper bag and folded as neatly as possible until it’s time to send the costumes home
Each day we’re able to bring more costumes in, we’ll send you an email (the day before when possible)
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!
