Costumes
We are very fortunate to have a very talented group of incredible volunteers who design and sew dozens of costumes every year. It is because of their talents and efforts that we do not have to order a lot of costumes out of catalogs. Catalog costumes are expensive! Costumes for the Spring Production are rented for a minimal charge of $28 for group dances and $35 for soloists. This fee helps us with purchase and labor costs as well as cleaning and maintenance of the costumes. It may be necessary for some of the Jazz and Tap classes to purchase their costumes. This will depend on the theme for the production. We will do our best to find the best quality for a reasonable price. Many of those costumes will be appropriate dance class attire for the following season.
RECITAL ACCESSORIES, ETC:
The following is a list of costuming, hair, accessories, etc. that the dancers will need for the performance. All dancers will need to wear full stage make-up (foundation, blush, eyeshadow (neutral colors), eyeliner, mascara and lipstick (coral/rose shades - NO BRIGHT RED).
Hair accessories include bobby pins, hair net (same color as hair), barrettes (no colored, silver or gold), tortoise shell style the same color as hair. Lots of hairspray. NO BANGS PLEASE!
ABSOLUTELY NO JEWELRY, WATCHES OR NAIL POLISH!
The list is in order of appearance to help you with planning costume and hair changes. Unless otherwise noted, hair for all ballet classes should be worn in a bun. Pink tights with seams and clean ballet slippers. (No drawstrings tied in a bow. Please tie them in a knot and cut off the loose ends. It is for your child's safety.)
All headpieces should be secured with several bobby pins. All rentals are to be returned the day of the performance. Please do not make any unauthorized alterations to the costumes! Thanks....
