Important Dancer Guidelines for Show Day

  • Remove all nail polish, earrings, and other jewelry before arriving to the theater.
  • Arrive to the theater in your costume with hair and make-up already finished. Dancers should wear their uniform tights with matching colored ballet slippers and no underwear underneath. Dancers in more than one class are encouraged to wear a skin colored camisole leotard with their tights on top so that they can change costumes quickly.
  • To create a sleek high bun be sure to use extra gel and/or hairspray so that there are no hair wispies. See this video on how to create performance-ready bun.
  • Dancers that choose to wear a mask onstage should wear a Bloch brand skin colored mask, or they can wear a disposable mask while backstage and dispose of the mask before going on stage.
  • In order to provide a secure environment dancers must be checked in by one guardian and checked out by that same guardian. All other friends and family should wait in the lobby. This extra precaution can cause delays, so please be patient. Our primary concern is the safety of our dancers.
