3 Costumes All dancers will be provided with a dance costume and a pair of tights for the dance recital. The costume fee was included in your registration fee this year. Parents will be given a form from the instructor stating the suggested size to order. Once parents have signed off that they accept that size, costumes will be ordered. All costumes will be handed out by mid May. A detailed list of how to wear your costume and any accessories will be included with the costume bag. Costumes should NOT be worn prior to the Dress Rehearsal.

After signing their child in, a staff member will hand that parent a wristband; at pick-up the child will only be released to the person wearing the wristband.
