Most dancers have received their costumes already. We have a few that we are still waiting on. If your dancer has their costume, please make sure it is hung up in a safe place. They should only wear it for dress rehearsal, pictures, and then the recital. We CANNOT get a replacement for any costume at this point. We cannot risk damaging or spilling food on the costumes.
Once in costume, dancers should not eat or drink more than water or saltines. Spills are difficult to clean out of most costumes.
You will receive the tights for the recital the week before dress rehearsals. You get one pair of tights. If the dancers put a hole in their tights, you can purchase a replacement pair at the box office.
It seems that the dance shoe shortage due to shipping has finally improved! If you have ordered shoes and not received them, they are probably in the office! If your dancer needs new shoes you MUST order them by Friday, May 6! All dancers need DRESS CODE shoes, which are sold in the studio office. The shoes must be purchased through us. Please see Daniel or April about ordering new shoes.
If your costume needed any alterations, Monica probably already took care of them. Please be sure to thank her. She has worked hard to make sure everyone’s costumes fit! We do have some ballet costumes with extra long straps. These will need to be pinned. That is something easy to do at home. If you need help, please let us know.
Be sure to put your child’s name in EVERYTHING that you bring to the theater. We work very hard to keep costumes and shoes organized, but sometimes things get jumbled. If your child’s name is inside (not on the bottom) of shoes and costumes, we can easily sort things out backstage.
