Costumes: Ballet & Pointe

HAIR

Low centered bun with a CENTER part.  Please use a hair net, bobby pins, and hair ties that match your dancer’s hair color.  Hair accessories such as barrettes or clips will be worn on the right side of the bun.  Headbands and hats should be criss cross bobby pinned on to secure them. 

MAKEUP

Brown eyeshadow, black mascara, black eye liner, pink blush, and dark red lipstick.

TIGHTS

Ballet Pink or Flesh Colored Footed Tights that match the dancer’s ballet shoes and their skin tone. Tights are provided with each costume.  If your dancer needs a different size OR a different color to match their shoes please see the front desk for an exchange ASAP.  Different colored tights may have to be ordered, but the front desk will order those for you and make sure you receive them.

PRO TIP - To help your dancer change their costumes most efficiently, layer their tights with their last dance’s tights first and then their first dance’s tights on top.

SHOES

Pink or Flesh Colored Ballet Shoes with elastic drawstrings tucked in that match the dancer’s tights and their skin tone.

UNDERGARMENTS

Flesh Colored Leotards with Clear Straps - Optional, but encouraged for modesty while changing costumes backstage and for some it helps with comfort of the costume if itchy.

ALTERATIONS WEEK

If you received a recommendation for alterations, please arrive early to class or stay after and have your dancer change into their costume. They can then go to the back office for it to be fitted by a seamstress. Costumes will be altered after the fact and ready for pickup prior to picture week. We will notify you when they are available for pickup.
