Costumes: The costume fee is $43.00. We have attached a costume order form for each of your dancers class. This form needs to be returned to the front desk with payment by January 26th in order to have your childs costume arrive in time for the show. Costumes will be handed out in class as they arrive at the studio. Please take them home and keep them hidden away until the show. Your dancer may try them on for visiting grandmas etc….but please do not let them play in their costume until after the show.

Tiny Tots Dress Rehearsal: All tiny tots will have an in class dress rehearsal the week of May 15-18th. They should come to class in costume, with hair and make-up done. We will invite parents in for a little show at the end of class.

Back Stage Volunteers: To ensure a safe, smooth running, successful, and enjoyable performance, we need 1-2 volunteers per class to help backstage with the recital. Please let the front desk know if you are willing to be a volunteer–a sign-up sheet is available at the front desk. It is very important to us that your child has a safe and positive experience at the theater. For this reason each class will be supervised by our volunteers. Volunteers will not be able to go into the audience to watch the show, therefore, they do not need a ticket. They will be able to watch the dances from backstage. You may also volunteer for one of the other Tiny Tot shows..

Hair and Make-up: Hair and Make-up details will be handed out during parent observation–March 11-16.
