Tap Costumes

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.
