There is a $60 costume rental fee per student per class (charged on 4/5).

*Costumes for the Spring Ballet are the property of TDC and are rented.

Costumes will be distributed in class the week prior to the show (April 7th-11th).

Costumes must be returned by April 19th. A $50 late fee will be charged if costumes are returned after this date.

Every dancer must arrive on show day wearing a skin colored spaghetti strap leotard, pink tights, and their costume with hair and makeup done.

*For dancers who have more than one costume, arrive wearing your first costume with second costume in a garment bag.

Boys: Wear long black pants and a white t-shirt unless teachers advise otherwise.

Hair: Low bun with a center part

Makeup: Stage makeup like Recital/Holiday Spectacular (Any questions please ask!)

We are excited to offer an optional routine for dancers age 3-7 who are not already a part of the spring ballet! This will be a super fun routine, ages 3-4 will be little kittens, and ages 5-7 will be little fairies!

Costume: DIY! Get creative and have fun with this! We encourage themed accessories! Click here for costume inspo!

Please see our “show day info” tab for dress rehearsal and show day arrival times!

CHECK IN/OUT PROCEDURE:

*Little Fairies, Little Kittens, and Sparkle Squad please check your email for your detailed check-in information. The following information DOES NOT apply to these dancers.

All students ages 11- are required to be checked in and checked out by a female caregiver. This caregiver will be given a check out card that you will need to pick up your child at the end of the show. Without a card, you will be asked to wait until identification has been verified.

After the show:

The parent/caregiver with this card should return to the Check In area and form a line. Only one person per family will be allowed backstage. TDC staff will allow you backstage to meet with your student and collect their belongings. Please follow directions to the EXIT area (this is different than the check in area).

THANK YOU for your patience and cooperation as we implement these safety procedures for your dancer!
