Costumes, Accessories, Shoes, Hair, & Make-up
COSTUMES
Please make sure that you have each costume with the correct shoes, tights, & accessories labeled with your dancer's name.
ACCESSORIES
Accessories that were 202included with the costumes are the only accessories allowed to be worn on stage. This includes extra hair ribbons, watches, special jewelry, etc. No earrings are permitted – if ears are recently pierced please replace earrings with clear spacers. Students may not wear nail polish of any color; please have clean nails that are neatly filed so as not to snag the costumes.
SHOES
All shoes are to be new or in new condition—no holes, scuff marks, etc. All ballet shoes should have elastic strings cut and taped inside the shoe. Ballet shoes must have two elastic straps. Make sure all shoes are the specific color and type as per costume instruction. For Creative Arts, black tap shoes are to have black elastic straps with shoe bows sewn on. Please make sure your child has each pair of shoes and tights necessary to complete each costume change.
HAIR
All students’ hair should be completely done before arriving! No studio provision for hairstyles will be made. Dancers will wear their hair in a low bun with a center part. Please use hair ties and bobby pins/hairpins that match your dancer’s hair or ensure that they are not showing. Use hair gel or hairspray to make sure hair is completely secure. Cover the bun with a hairnet matching the hair color to secure any stray hair. Students with bangs above the brow should curl and feather them completely away from their eyes. If your student’s hair is short, it is to be rolled and styled away from the face.
MAKE-UP
Stage make-up is mandatory and is applied very heavily for picture day, dress rehearsal, and the show. For students in Tiny Movers, Intro, and Creative Arts classes, our backstage staff will be responsible for any needed make-up touch-ups before they go on stage. All make-up should accompany your student for touch-up purposes. Make sure your name is on each item; we will not be responsible for lost items.
The eyeshadow palette shown below is E.L.F.’s Cream and Sugar eyeshadow palette. These are the colors you will need for stage make-up for picture day, dress rehearsal, and the show. You do not need to purchase this exact brand, just use it as a color guide. If you wish to purchase this palette, it can be found at Target, Walmart, Ulta, and Amazon for about $3.00.
Lipstick should be dark red or berry-colored, like the example below. Please invest in either a lip stain or matte lipstick that dries completely and does not smudge. The matte lipstick shown below is Maybelline's Matte Lipstick, shade 115: Founder. This is a great option and stays on well once dry. It is available at Target, Walmart, Amazon, and Ulta.

All dancers Level I-IV should bring their costumes covered in a garment bag and change once they are backstage.
This is a closed-door rehearsal; no parent or relative will be allowed to sit in the auditorium and watch. Please pick up your student promptly at the end of their rehearsal by checking them out at the cast entrance. No student may be picked up before the entire rehearsal is complete.
SHOWCASE CHECK-IN & SPECIAL NOTES
CHECK-IN & OUT
For both Showcase and the Full Show Dress Rehearsal, students should be dropped off at our cast entrance located to the left of the main auditorium doors.
Parents must walk kids up and check them in at the table. When you arrive, you must sign your child in at the designated area. Parents will receive a tag that corresponds with their child's check-in number. For the safety of our students, no child will be released to any member of their family without this tag. Please return the tag back to the check-in/out table at the end of the show/dress rehearsal
Please note: If someone other than the parent/guardian on file must pick up your child you must submit a signed note stating who will pick up your child in advance of the show. ID and prior notice will be required for anyone other than the parent/guardian to pick up their child.

No student will be permitted to sit in the audience during any part of the show. Our staff will be responsible for all their needs during the show.
