Step 3: Take your child to the class parent for the first dance they are in. Look for a sign with the child's class information. To drop off your child, show the class parent your wrist band. 

Step 4: After the recital, please find your child's class parent for the last dance they were in. Look for the class sign in the auditorium. Classes will stand together along the wall. DO NOT pick up at the stage door.

Step 5: Your child will be dismissed to the parent who is wearing the wristband they received at check-in. Then, the parent can take their child to get their belongings. 

.

On performance & dress rehearsal day, students must arrive on time! If late, the child will miss important safety information and therefor may not be able to participate.

​

​​

​​

COSTUMES

 

Costumes will be given to students the day of the performance and then they are welcome to take them home!  

 

Students will try their costumes on during class time when faculty and staff will assess if any adjustments need to be made. Parents may be asked to help with costume adjustments.  

 

Students must arrive without bright colored nail polish, bandaids, temporary tattoos, etc. to have a uniform, natural look.   

​

​*For girls in more than one dance: Arrive to the theater wearing a camisole leotard that matches your skin tone under their dress code leotard. Dancers will wear this for any costume changes.

​

​​

​​

HAIR 

 

For ballet classes, hair must be worn in a proper ballet bun for girls, please see bun tutorial HERE!  Boys must have long hair pulled back from face in a pony-tail or braided. Hair product should be used, so dancers have no loose hair in their face.

​

Non-ballet classes will receive instructions on performance hair from their instructor. 

​

For both tech rehearsal and performances, dancers must arrive with hair done. We recommend practicing your child's hair for classes. 

​

​​

​​

MAKE-UP

 

Simple make-up must be worn so we can see the dancers' faces under our performance lights. Please see the helpful "How to Apply Stage Makeup to Children" tutorial HERE.

​

For both tech rehearsal and performances, dancers must arrive with make-up done. We recommend practicing your child's make-up before the performance. 

​

​​

​

MASKS 

 

Wearing a mask for the performance is optional. If wearing a mask, it is required to be a flesh colored mask that matches their skin tone as close as possible. We recommend purchasing your child's mask from our dress code provider Grand Prix, but any brand is acceptable.   

​

​

​

BEFORE THE THEATER 

​

Arrive in dress code leotard for girls/black t-shirt for boys (arrive dressed). Costumes are worn over dress code for most classes. Please leave ballet skirts at home. 

​
