Happy February! I hope everyone is doing well this evening. Please read the following email carefully, and as always, feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns!
As mentioned in the Contract of Understanding, some costuming may need to be purchased by students and their families. If any families need help purchasing any of the following items, please reach out to me individually so we can work something out with you. If you already have the shoes listed by your character, please bring them to rehearsals so you can practice with them!
Dance shoes should be purchased and brought to all rehearsals as soon as possible. This will help you break them in so they are not stiff for the performances. Sneakers will suffice until then!
All other costuming needs should be purchased and brought to the March 16th rehearsal.
***All girls should wear a basic spaghetti strap nude leotard layer to dress rehearsals and performances for modesty during costume changes.
