Costume Central
When costumes go home in classes, please keep them safe for our June Performance.
When costumes go home, we will want to hand that over to a grown-up. You will be notified as to the date(s) costumes will be sent home.
Costume Changes.
If your child has one or more costume changes, they are required to have and wear a foundation garment (Nude leotard). You can find these on Amazon, Discount Dance and The Dance Store in Salem. This will aid with quick changes and maintain modesty.
Costume Care instructions:
Write child's name in EVERY piece of the costume, including both shoes. If it is coming to the auditorium it should have a name on it.
Remove the costume from the garment bag and hang it so wrinkles will relax. You can take the costume into the bathroom during a hot shower to aid in the process. If the costume is a tutu, after steaming in the bathroom or with your own steamer, pull the tutu skirt straight with your fingertips as it dries and then hang upside down, not in the garment bag. This will provide minimum wrinkles and maximum fluffiness.
