If your dancer is in more than one number, it is helpful to bring everything you need in a small suitcase, laundry basket or plastic bin. This way, you can keep all your things in one place. And if you have quick changes, you can just throw everything in your bin when you are done with it. Small clothing racks are encouraged and we appreciate if you share with other dancers.

• Dance SHOES – labeled inside with a permanent marker
• All TIGHTS that have been provided for you with your costume.
• Arrive in your first costume with your hair and makeup done but bring a garment bag with COSTUMES on hangers – labeled on tag INSIDE with a permanent marker
• All ACCESSORIES (hat, gloves, hairpieces, props, earrings, etc.)
• NO JEWELRY unless it’s part of the costume. This includes extra holes in your ears and nose rings.
• PERFORMANCE/MAKEUP KIT with makeup, band-aids, hair ties, hairspray, brush, tissues, safety pins, bobby pins, mini-sewing kit, extra tights, etc.
• Wear a button-down or zip-up SWEATSHIRT over your costume. This way you will not ruin your hair or makeup.
• NO UNDERWEAR underneath your costume – that’s what tights (or a leotard) are for. It’s like wearing a bathing suit!
• NO NAIL POLISH on your fingers or toes. White/Pale french manicures are fine!
• NO FAKE TATOOS and cover real ones
• Bring a FULL WATER BOTTLE. No juice!
• A HEALTHY SNACK that won’t stain. No chocolate or cheesy snacks that can ruin your costume.
• WARMUP as soon as you arrive to prevent injury and to help you dance your best!
• NO VALUABLES (ipads, etc) because things get lost in the shuffle of the day!
• YOUR SMILE!
