———————————————————————————————————————-
Here are our Holiday Informal Performance costume assignments.  We encourage you to use things you have.  For example: if your dancer has been assigned to wear a PLAIN RED TOP it could be any style of shirt (tank top, short sleeve, long sleeve, sweatshirt. etc) and if it has a print on it then simply have them turn it inside out so the print doesn’t show.
For the performance dancers will wear their hair in a ponytail with no extra bows or hair accessories unless provided by us.  Please have dancers that have costume changes wear their leotard and tights underneath as all changes will be done in the open.
All dancers need to wear their assigned holiday costumes to class the week of November 29th-December 4th.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
