Tap Costumes

Tap I

Costume Care instructions:

Write Child's name on EVERY piece of costume, even both shoes. If it is coming to the Auditorium it should have a name on it!

Remove the costume from the garment bag. Hang and steam out the wrinkles. You may also leave it in the bathroom as the shower runs to help with steaming.

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.

Hair:

  • One french braid. If your hair is too short for that then half up half down, so hair is out of the face. If you need your hair in a bun for ballet you may have your hair in a bun as well.

  • Ballet Bun - this could be a "Happy Bun" (worn low on the back of the head, right above the neck) or a "Classical Bun" (worn on the crown of the head). Hair too short for a Ballet bun should be secured away from the face if it drifts into the eyes. Otherwise it can just exist on the owner's head in whatever way it usually would.
