What You Need to Know!
Practice Music & Performer Details
Click on the spreadsheet below to find the show order, practice music, and class-specific requirements for underdressings, hair & makeup, and shoes. All routines are listed in show order. Practice music is uploaded as we receive them from the instructors.
Rehearsals
All rehearsals and prep-time for our Summer Showcase 2023 occur during your child’s normal class time.
Costume Rental Fees
A fee of $25 per class is charged to your account along with tuition on May 1st. If you decide to opt-out of any performances following May 1st, costume fees are not refunded.
Underdressings
All performers are required to wear underdressings beneath their costumes:
- Girls are required to wear skin-tone leotard and skin-tone tights (pink tights only for Ballet routines)
- Boys are required to wear a white T-shirt and black shorts
We have girls’ nude leotards, light suntan tights, and pink tights available for purchase. You can visit us in-studio or head to our Customer Portal to check if we have your child’s size in stock. Please note, once the package for tights and leotards is opened, we cannot exchange sizes or refund your order. If you’re unsure of sizing, please visit us in-studio to try on the leotards or view our tights sizing chart to ensure you purchase the correct size for your child.
If we do not carry your child’s size, you can also purchase them here. Be sure to select a skin-tone color before purchasing.
Volunteers for Backstage Supervision and Front-of-House Help
Putting on a show this size requires the help of many volunteers. Please consider helping us by volunteering for the show your child is not in. By helping each other, we can ensure that every parent can watch their own child perform instead of “work” the show. If you prefer to volunteer during your child’s performance, you are welcome to “watch from the wings” backstage. If you would like to volunteer to help during our Summer Showcase, head to our Sign Up Genius.
HAIR AND MAKEUP
Following our hair and makeup guidelines ensures your performer will be clearly seen under the bright stage lights! Girls should wear their hair in a Hair in high, slicked back bun. Stage makeup should include foundation, blush, eyeshadow, mascara, red or pink lipstick. If your child’s hair is not long enough to get into a bun, or if you child refuses to wear certain parts of the makeup, just do your best to get as close to possible with what you can. See this Ballet Bun Tutorial video from Ms. Emily if you need help on securing a bun.
