What does my dancer need?
- Everyone (Girls)- A Nude Leotard to wear under their costume for quick changes. We do not have the luxury of private dressing rooms. This also helps with itchy costumes. If your dancer is only in one costume, the nude leotard is not necessary but some find it more comfortable. *Older girls who need a little extra support may need to buy a nude bra (preferable with clear straps) as well. Please have a realistic conversation with your daughter about the level of support she may need.
- Hair - Pulled back into a neat ponytail - no flyaways or wispys. Option to curl if you would like. Please make sure there is no hair hanging in your dancer's face. Dancers' hair needs to be pulled back so we can see their pretty faces. Boys need to brush their hair so they are stage ready.
- Makeup - Pink/rose blushes, pinks/browns for eyeshadows, dark pink (not red) lipstick. Mascara and/or eyeliner is not necessary for the littles if they’re not comfortable with it. (Our goal is just for pretty faces to show up under the lights!)
- Combo Classes, Ballet/Tap A, Ballet/Tap B, Jazz A and B: Pink tights for all dances, pink leather or canvas ballet shoes, and black or tan tap shoes, black or tan jazz shoes.
- Ballet C and up - Pink tights, pink leather or canvas ballet shoes.
- Tap C and up - Tan tights, black or tan tap shoes. (Special note – Preschool classes, and Tap A, B, will wear pink tights for both ballet and tap – just makes it easier for little ones!)
- Jazz C and up: Jazz C: black jazz shoes. Jazz D, E, Intermediate, and Advanced: Pirouettes (half shoes). All girls in tan tights. Boys, black jazz pants, black jazz shoes.
- Musical Theater (both 1 and 2) - Black pants, black socks, black jazz shoes.
- Hip Hop (all) - Black converse like shoes. High or regular tops are perfectly fine
- Lyrical (all) - Tan tights, pirouettes (half shoes).
