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.

NO jewelry of any kind! This includes earrings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, rings, anklets, etc.

DO NOT wear underwear or bras under your costumes. They will show through the costume on stage. We recommend nude or flesh colored leotards with clear straps for modesty purposes.
DO NOT allow the students to wear their costume(s) prior to photos, dress rehearsals, and the performances. Accidents can happen and we do not have replacement costumes.
