Checklist:

Bring your basket/bin to carry everything. Be sure your basket/bin is labeled with your name.

If you have multiple classes on the same day, bring all costumes you need in your basket/bin.

Everything should be labeled with your name.

Remember we're taking photos, so be sure to look your best.

Stage Rehearsal

Stage rehearsal for Recital 1 is held immediately prior to the show and is mandatory without exception. If your child misses they will not be allowed to perform. Recital 2-8 do not have a stage rehearsal.

Costumes & Basket/Bin

Dancers must arrive dressed in their 1st costume. Costume changes, shoes, extra tights, and a water bottle/snack, must be carried in a small laundry basket/bin labeled with their name.

Costume Care

Label costumes, shoes, accessories, and tights with the student’s name.

Place costumes in a garment bag with the student’s name on the outside.

Carry costumes & shoes in a small laundry basket/bin labeled with student's name.

Pack accessories in a clear plastic bag with the student’s name on the bag and on each item.

Press or steam all costumes prior to coming to the theatre.

Please do not wash costumes in your washing machine; dry clean them only (after the recital).

Leotards (Ballet 3-8, LCP + Open): In an effort to keep costume costs down, and to present a classic and elegant appearance, Ballet 3+ costumes are created by accessorizing the students’ dress code leotards with a skirt and headpiece. Skirts & Headpieces will be distributed during In-Studio Dress Rehearsal Week. Leotard color must match those in our boutique (see chart) and must be in good condition (no rips, stains, holes, or faded color). Leotard style must be camisole/spaghetti strap or thin tank. Stage lights will enhance any color discrepancies.

Makeup is necessary otherwise facial features will be washed out by the stage lights.

Female students: red lip-stick, blush, eye shadow (brown), and mascara.

For the boys, a little bronzer/blush, eye shadow (brown) and tinted lip balm, works well.

Complete makeup instructions and video tutorials.

Tip: Pack extra make-up in your basket/bin for touch ups

Dancers may not use cell phones or other electronics backstage or in the dressing rooms during the Stage Rehearsals or Recital. These items are easily lost and distracting, but more importantly we need to protect our students from being photographed while costume changes are going on. If a dancer is seen using a electronic device backstage it will be confiscated and the dancer can retrieve it after the rehearsal/performance.

"Zootopia Rhythms" includes our Early Childhood recital classes for ages 3-6: Pre-Ballet & Tap I, Pre-Ballet & Tap II, Primary Ballet & Tap, Twirl and Tumble and Kids Bop.
