What to Bring

Dress Rehearsal Only

All dancers need to have a water bottle labeled with their name and a snack that will not stain or get sticky on their clothes, and please do not bring peanuts as there are allergies in the studio. If your dancer has to come for both sessions of dress rehearsal send them with a packed dinner to eat.  You will not be able to take them anywhere to eat, as there is not time.  It still cannot be sticky or be staining.

Dancers may bring things to do while they wait backstage, but the studio is not responsible for any lost or stolen items!!  If your child brings expensive electronics or other valuable/sentimental items, we cannot keep track of them!

Shoes should have the dancer’s name written on them so that they are not mixed up with another dancer’s belongings. We will keep their dance shoes at dress rehearsal, so please be sure they wear other shoes into the building.  Dance shoes should NEVER be worn outdoors.
Children with more than one class MUST wear a nude leotard or they will not perform!!
Everyone must have new tights from Pirouette Apparel at the studio (except male dancers, and some break dancers), tumblers may have footless tights unless they are in another class and then they need convertible tights.
**do not buy tights elsewhere as they will be the wrong color**
Tights must be Revolution Brand Classic Pink tights, unless they are in Company level classes, where they will have Revolution Brand tights that must match their specific skin tone.
If your dancer’s costume comes home with them, make sure they are wearing it and all accessories!
