SHOES: Your shoes MUST be the one listed in image by your show number. All shoes in each number MUST be the same. If you have any questions about shoes and where to get them feel free to email us at [email protected]. Please clean up your shoes so that they look as new as possible.
TIGHTS: All tights MUST be in the colors “Caramel”, “Ballet Pink”, “Black” or “White” depending on which dance you are in. Tights MAY be purchased at the front desk. For darker skin tones THEATRICALS darker tight colors (that are non-shimmer) can be used to match your skin tone. No tights with dirt, holes or rips.
EARRINGS: All dancers are required to have a pair of earrings provided by the studio. They are available in pierced or clip on. If you were a part of the show last year, you have already received a pair and should use them again. If you have lost them or are new to the studio, please pick up a pair of earrings at the front desk. We will also have them available during dancer check-in.
NUDE CAMISOLE: Dancers who are in more than one number are required to wear a nude camisole leotard under their costumes. We want your dancers to feel comfortable while changing. These leotards are not seen by the audience, but keep your dancer modest while changing. They will be available at the desk starting, they are $15.
TIGHTS GUIDE:
There are different tights options that may be suggested by your teacher, but most all tights should be your basic footed tights.
CAPRI (Color: Caramel or Ballet Pink)
Capri styles finish mid-calf. They are usually worn by jazz dancers or those who like to dance barefoot but with some coverage at the top of the leg.
CONVERTIBLE (Color: Caramel or Ballet Pink)
Convertible tights can be worn like a standard tight or rolled up to become footless, for those doing multiple classes one after the other, or ballet dancers who need to access their toes to add padding before pointe work.
FOOTED (Color: Caramel or Ballet Pink)
Everyone’s go-to dance tights, Footed styles must be worn with shoes, whether that’s Ballet shoes, Tap shoes or Jazz shoes. These are also the most comfortable for children with sensitive toes.
FISHNET (Color: Black)
Usually used for Broadway, Ballroom, Musical Theatre or Tap dancing, Fishnets are woven in a crisscross pattern and give a glamorous look when worn with heels.
FOOTLESS (Color: Caramel or Ballet Pink)
Footless tights are ideal for those who are dancing barefoot, with a clean line at the ankle. These tights are popular for Contemporary dance or Lyrical styles.
STIRRUP (Color: Caramel or Ballet Pink)
Stirrup tights are another way to allow barefoot dancing, but with an extended leg line. These can also be worn with shoes if preferred, and are often used for Aerobics in a High Gloss style.
