Participation Requirements

PHOTO DAYS
We highly encourage our dancers to attend photo day so we can get whole class photos of all our dancers. These pictures are optional to purchase.

COSTUMES
Students will have a costume for all performance classes. Parents are responsible for the full cost of dance costumes. Costume deposits ($50) are due by October 15th. The balances are due by February 1st for ITP dancers and May 1stfor all year end performance classes. Costumes range from $75 to $125.

HAIR & MAKE-UP
Hair & Make-up is the final touch to complete a costume and is a mandatory application for all dancers participating in a stage performance. Students will receive an outline of required hair & make-up with their costumes. Parents are responsible for ensuring dancers have the correct tights, footwear and hair & make-up supplies.

STAGE ORIENTATION & DRESS REHEARSALS
It is mandatory for all students to attend stage rehearsals at the Sid William Theatre prior to festival and the year-end show. This gives the performer the opportunity to get a feel for the stage, dancing with stage lighting and space their dance(s) prior to performing.
