Level 5 Attire for the Spring Dance Concert

 General Guidelines:

• Costumes cannot be ironed or laundered. 
• A lost or damaged costume replacement would be very expensive, if the costume is able to be replaced at all.
• We have labeled many items, but please carefully label anything we may have missed and shoes with the dancer's name or initials using a permanent marker. 
• We do not distribute small accessories in advance such as hair pieces, gloves, etc… They will be provided at dress rehearsal and recital. This is because these items are easily lost or misplaced.
• Female dancers must not wear any panties under their costumes since tights function as panties.
• Please no jewelry with any costumes for dress rehearsal and recital- small studs in piercings are acceptable
• A backstage chaperone (or in most cases two chaperones) are assigned to each class to assist with the costumes and hair as well as childcare, and restrooms.
