Costume & Appearance Instructions for Dress Rehearsal and the Performance

​

Hair: Bun, centered at the back of the head, please use a hairnet and hairpins to secure. Please watch our “Bun Demo” video for instructions. If a head piece is included as part of your costume, please secure it to the right side of the dancer’s bun. Please do hair at home prior to arrival. Performance Hair Kits are available for purchase in Sugarplums. 

​

Makeup: Neutral color eyeshadows, light blush & lip gloss, no red lipstick - please apply makeup at home. Do not wear nail polish.

​

Shoes: Please clean all shoes (ballet, tap, hip hop, jazz boots, and Irish Step shoes) with a damp cloth to remove any marks. Laces should be tied and (for ballet slippers) tucked. Leather ballet slippers or pointe shoes are required for all performers required to wear ballet slippers.

​

Costumes: Please write the dancer’s initials on the costume tag and keep the costume(s) hung in the garment bag. Do not wear jewelry or underpants. If a dancer is in more than one dance, they must arrive wearing a skin-colored camisole leotard so that they are covered while changing. Camisole leotards are available for purchase in Sugarplums. If your dancer’s costumes require different colored tights, the tan tights go on under the camisole and the pink tights are layered over the tan tights and camisole. Dancers should wear clean, hole and run free tights to dress rehearsal as we will be taking photographs. We will distribute a new pair of performance tights at departure from dress rehearsal at the Sugarplums Pop-Up Shop; be sure to stop by on your way out!
