6 ALL ABOUT COSTUMES We spend many hours selecting, ordering and organizing the costumes for each class. They are always age appropriate and of the highest quality possible. Costumes may include accessories (hats, gloves, etc.), but not shoes. We are supplying tights or socks for most costumes. 1. Can dancers wear jewelry, underwear or nail-polish? No jewelry, nail polish or underwear is to be worn with costumes. This includes during dress rehearsals, recital and photos. 2. What are tips to keep costumes clean for rehearsal/recital? Students should not chew gum, eat messy foods or drink anything other than water while in costume. Please do not wash costumes in your washing machine; dry clean them only (after the recital). 3. What should I label? Please label all costumes, shoes, accessories, tights, dance bags with your child s full name. Accessories can be packed in a clear plastic bag, also labeled with your child s name. 4. What needs to be done for my dancer's costume? You should remove any tags that could hang out of the costume or that show through the fabric. If costume straps do not have snaps or are not attached, please sew them prior to picture day. Please do not cross the straps unless specified by the teacher. 5. Do you provide costume alterations? No, we do not provide alterations. However, Dino's or Design Nouveaux (both located in the South Adams Square plaza) provide alterations. Dino s is on the main floor in the office building next door to Dance City in Suite 16, phone: Design Noveaux is located on the lower level, Suite L-188, phone: You are responsible for payment for any alterations you need for the costume. 6. How should my dancer wear their costume accessories? Many costumes come with headpieces, hats, or other accessories. Teachers will determine how these are to be worn and will communicate that to parents on visiting day or during dress rehearsal. 7. How do I maintain costumes with fringe? You will notice a string at the bottom of most fringe skirts or trim, which is to keep the fringe from getting tangled. Please do not pull the string until picture day. After that date, please place fringed items on skirt hangers to keep them from getting tangled. 8. Can I iron the costume? No. We do not recommend using a traditional iron when pressing costumes. Silks can burn, sequins can melt, and fabric colors may change. Please use only a steamer, and do so with caution. 9. How do I maintain the tutu? Grasp the waist and give it a gentle shake, then use your fingers to comb out any pieces of tulle that are wrinkled. To store a tutu, put it on a hanger upside down. To help remove persistent wrinkles, hang the tutu in the bathroom during a shower or use a handheld steamer. SHOES Please make sure your child s shoes are free of any stickers, pen or crayon marks. All Ballet shoes should be pink. The elastic should be tied and any extra length cut off and tucked into the dancer s shoes. (Please keep at least 0.5 inch of elastic for any future adjustments if needed). Page 6 of 24

7 For the combo classes, tap shoes should be black Mary Jane style tap shoes with velcro closures or have black elastic inserted in the lace holes instead of any ribbon ties. Elastic can be purchased at any fabric store and easily threaded through the holes where the laces go, and sewn. We ask you to do this so that we re not dealing with shoes coming untied during the dance or ties becoming knotted making shoes difficult to remove. (Please, NO Ribbons, NO strings and NO bows) Jazz shoes are all tan slip on jazz shoes. Shoes for Acro: NONE Shoes for Tap I classes are black Mary Jane tap shoes. Shoes for Tap II, III and IV are black tie-up tap shoes Shoes for Hip Hop classes are black, Converse style high tops. TIGHTS THE RECITAL FEE INCLUDES TIGHTS FOR YOUR COSTUME. PLEASE WEAR THE PROVIDED TIGHTS ONLY FOR THE REHEARSAL AND THE RECITAL. THANK YOU! Page 7 of 24

8 HAIR AND MAKEUP* 1. What is the hair style requirement? All dancers in all classes are required to have their hair in a slicked back high bun (at the crown of the head), unless instructed differently by the class instructor. 2. How do we style the hair? For a bun, here is the best way for this to work: When hair is wet, take hair gel and slick hair back into a high ponytail and rubber band it. With the hair sticking out of the pony tail, take it and twist it around the pony tail holder, and rubber band this off. Now take a bunch of hairspray to keep this masterpiece that you have created in place and make sure that we do not have any fly away whispies! They REALLY show up on stage with the lights. 3. Does my young dancer have to wear makeup? Yes. All dancers are required to wear makeup, even the 'baby' classes. We do this because the stage lights wash out the dancers' faces onstage. Makeup is applied to define facial features and expressions. Makeup is part of the costume. Let's make sure we can see their beautiful and handsome faces onstage. 4. How do I apply make-up? Foundation: The first thing that you need is liquid foundation that is a shade darker than your dancer s skin tone. Then apply a light powder over it. This will give your dancers faces a velvety look! Blush: Light peach or pink colors. Do NOT use bright pink! No clown circles! Eye Shadow: You will need 2 eye shadow colors. Use a lighter color on the lid and a darker color in the crease. We use browns, wines, taupes and greys. All eye shadow should have a matte finish. Blending with a brush is much easier. Mascara: Black. The best way to apply mascara to the little ones is to hold the wand close to the lashes and have them blink. Eye liner: Black eye liner looks best onstage. (you can use liquid or pencil - whatever black eyeliner you have). Eyebrows need to be filled in with eye shadow or a brow pencil. Again this is to define your dancer s features so they can be seen onstage. Lips: Deep pink or red tones. Optional, but highly recommended: clear lip gloss. It adds a lot of shine to the dancers lips. *HAIR AND MAKE-UP QUICK LINKS HOW TO MAKE A RECITAL BUN HOW TO APPLY RECITAL MAKE-UP Page 8 of 24

11 DRESS REHEARSAL/GROUP PICTURE DAY Dress Rehearsals and group picture day is Monday, May 23 rd in Troy High School s Auditorium. 1. Why does my dancer have to be at Dress Rehearsal? It is extremely important for students to attend Dress Rehearsal so that they know how to enter/exit the stage, and where they need to be on the stage during their dance. It also gives them the opportunity to get used to their full costumes, lighting, and loud music. This is also your dancer s only time to practice on stage for their important day. 2. When and how should I arrive at Dress Rehearsal? Dancers with a call time of 4:30 should arrive at 4:30! Dancers with a call time of 6:15 should plan to arrive at 6:00pm. ALL dancers should be dressed in full costume and make-up at call-time. Make-up is part of their costume. 3. Where do I park? You may park in the main parking lot of Troy High School. You may enter from W Long Lake Rd or from Northfield Pkwy (see map below). *Please note that this is the same parking lot for the recitals. 4. What is the Dress Rehearsal process? We will run the Dress Rehearsal like a show one number right after the next. We will run your child s dance, whether your child is present or not. We will not re-run the dance for dancers who were not ready at their call time. Dancers should arrive dance ready full costume, makeup, & hair (no underwear) as there is limited space available to change. Dancers who have multiple dances should arrive wearing their first costume and should bring their other costumes and shoes in a tote bag clearly marked with their name. They will need to take their bag with them back stage and we will help them with any necessary changes. Label everything with your dancer s name (tights, costume, hair pieces, shoes, etc.)!!! Look for the Dancer Check-In area in the Auditorium Lobby. Parents CANNOT go backstage. However, you are welcome to take a seat in the auditorium and watch the other classes rehearsing. This is also a great opportunity to videotape your child s dance as videotaping is prohibited at the recital. (no food, drinks or flash photography allowed) Please keep talking to a minimum. We will help change your dancers costumes backstage. When your dancers are finished dancing on stage we will take them to take their group photo. If it is your dancers last routine on stage, please go to the Auditorium Lobby and we will bring your dancers to you. We will make sure every dancer is accounted for. You may go home when your dancer is finished with all their routines. Please note: there will be a Photographer station set up in the lobby if you wish to purchase group photos. Some dancers may need to repeat their dance onstage for lighting and technical cues. Please remember that the focus of the rehearsal is for the dancers to practice their routines on the stage and for us to set the lighting/staging appropriately. We will inform parents if there are any adjustments needed to the costume, hair, and make-up. We ask that you respect the work the dancers, teachers and staff are doing. 5. Should I pack a snack for my dancer? No. Please do not pack a snack for your dancer during dress rehearsal. There will not be time for any dancers to eat. They will all be lined up ready to go on stage from the time they arrive through the time we take their group photo. Page 11 of 24

12 6. Can I bring food inside the auditorium? No. There is no food or beverage allowed in the auditorium. 7. Does my dancer have to wear make-up for Dress Rehearsal? Yes. Your dancer must wear full costume and make-up. We want to make sure we can see their faces and expressions. Make-up is part of their costume. This is also Group Picture Day. 8. Do boys have to wear make-up? Make-up for boys is optional. However, some powder, a little blush, and eyeliner is recommended. 9. What if my child is in multiple dances? If your child performs in multiple dances, have them dressed in the costume of their first dance (see dress rehearsal schedule on page 14 and 15). Have your dancer bring their other costume(s), shoes and any other accessories in a clearly marked tote bag or garment bag with them back stage. After they have taken their group pictures for their first dance, we will help change them into their next costume. They will stay backstage until they are done with ALL their dances. Dancers are welcome to leave after they have rehearsed all of their scheduled dance(s) on stage and had their group pictures taken. 10. Are there classes running on Dress Rehearsal days? There will be no classes on dress rehearsal day on Monday, May 23. Additionally, there are no classes running on Thursday afternoon (after 4:00pm), May 26 th. 11. When does my child go on stage to rehearse? The rehearsal and recital schedule is listed on page 14 & 15 and posted online at under the Recital tab. Your child will need to stay backstage until they have finished rehearsing all their dances. That may take 15 minutes, or it may take an hour and a half. 12. What is the Group Picture Day process? Once dancers are done rehearsing on stage, we will take them to have their group picture taken. There are no parents allowed in the group picture area. After they take their group picture, if your dancer has no further dances, we will bring him or her out to the auditorium lobby for you to pick up and you are welcome to take your child home. Dancers will be sent home with a Picture Order Form the week of May 9th. Order forms will also be available at the Individual & Special Groups Photo session and at the Rehearsal. 13. How do I pay for pictures? Please bring your completed order forms and full payment on Individual Picture Day and give it to a Photography Representative at the photo sales table.

16 RECITAL PROCESS, ETIQUETTE & INFO 1. What do I need to bring for the Recital? We advise you to gather all costumes, accessories, shoes, and makeup in advance so you will know if something is missing or isn t right. Make sure you have all of your supplies before going to the recital. Label all costume pieces, shoes, tights and anything else your child will be bringing to the recital. You can place costume pieces in LABELED LARGE ZIPLOC BAGS. Please do not send your child to the recital with snacks or beverages that could stain their costumes. Crackers, energy bars, apples, and carrots, are some examples of good snack choices. PLEASE NON- NUT, DAIRY AND GLUTEN FREE FOODS ONLY! THIS IS BECAUSE THERE ARE STUDENTS WHO HAVE SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTIONS! Please do not share foods. Water is the only beverage children may have while in costume. Other items that may come in handy are: cleaning wipes, face cleaning wipes, a sewing kit, hair spray, brushes, safety pins, make-up, and bobby pins. You may also include some things for your child to do backstage games, art, etc. (no markers or pens please. Crayons and colored pencils are best). LABEL, LABEL, LABEL EVERYTHING! 2. If I am volunteering, when should I arrive? ALL VOLUNTEERS SHOULD ARRIVE EARLIER THAN DANCERS TO ENSURE WE HAVE SUPERVISION FOR THE DANCERS IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA.

NOTE: Students are only to be picked up at the end of the show, NOT during the performance. 4. What will be in the lobby? Ticket Sales table (all remaining tickets will be sold for $20) Flower Sales table (5-stem flowers for $15 and 3-stem roses for $20) There will also be organized chaos - please refrain from hanging around the check-in area.

There is absolutely no individual videotaping allowed during the performances (this policy will be strictly enforced). A professional media company will film our shows. A recital video is included with your recital Page 16 of 24

17 fee. Every family will receive one video. Videotaping is allowed at dress rehearsals only. Additional videos may be purchased for $ Can I take pictures at the Recital? You may take pictures before and after the show in the auditorium lobby area. There is absolutely no photography of any kind allowed during the performances. We want to make sure the dancers are not distracted on stage with lights out in the audience of any kind. Let's help your dancers remain focus and perform their best. Flash photography is very dangerous in live theater, especially in dance. If a flash goes off during the show and catches the eye of a dancer it can throw them off their balance and cause major injury. 7. What is the Recital and Volunteer Procedure? Dancers will wait backstage in their class area or be taken with the class volunteers to sit in a specially designated area of the auditorium during the show. There will be a live feed of the Recital for dancers and volunteers to watch. Volunteers are there to help the dancers and to be sure the show is running smoothly. No other parents are allowed backstage or in the dressing rooms. Volunteers will be able to watch their child s dance (volunteers can sit in the designated volunteer section in the auditorium or watch from back stage). After the dance is done, the volunteers will bring the dancers back to designated backstage area. Volunteers are expected to stay backstage/in the dressing room with the class until the recital finale. The teachers will also assist in the Recital Process. A Volunteer form is included in this packet. 8. What if my dancer has costume changes? If a dancer is in more than one dance, the backstage volunteers will help them with their costume changes. If your child is in numerous numbers, you may want to plan to volunteer backstage to help them with their multiple costume changes. 9. May I leave after my child dances on stage? This is a short performance and should be treated in a professional manner. Please stay seated for the entire show. If you absolutely have to use the restroom, please do so in between dance numbers and return to your seat in between dance numbers. It is very distracting to performers and other audience members if someone is getting up during the show and performances. 10. What happens after the show/finale? The total show length is approximately 2 hours. Students can be picked up from the stage after the grand finale. After picking up your child from the stage, you may go to the backstage designated area to retrieve all of your dancer's belongings. Teachers and volunteers will supervise all dancers until they have been picked up. If everyone is patient and helpful, this will go very quickly and safely. 11. Will you provide any food for dancers/families if my dancer is in both the 1PM and 5:30PM shows on Sunday? We will not provide food or beverage for dancers/families in between shows. Please plan on packing snacks/food or making other arrangements. 12. What should I do when I am in the Auditorium? Please be seated by 5 minutes to show time. Please plan to turn your cell phones, pagers, tablets, IPAD and any other electronic devices off. Remind your guests that there is No Videotaping, Flash or Digital Photography of any kind at the show. (extra lights or any kind of lights in the audience with not only distract the performers on stage, but your fellow audience members who are sitting around you). In addition, any light from the audience may be caught on the video. Please remember, the recitals will be professionally recorded. Please help ensure the quality of the video by turning off ALL electronic devices. Thank you! If you have young children with you, please, be sure that they are quiet and still during this live performance. Page 17 of 24
