Important Recital Notes!

Recital Information & Communications

• Recital information will be coming your way the next several months via email, social media and handouts!

• All of the information you need to know will also be added to this webpage for your easy reference.​

Recital Costumes:

​​​

We want everyone looking their best on stage! Students will receive their costumes in a special CSA garment bag to keep costumes looking fabulous during transport and to help keep all the pieces together in one place!

• After you get your costume home, be sure to take it out of the bag and hang it up in a safe place out of direct sunlight to help release wrinkles. Take extra care not to lose any accessories that might have come with your costume- we do not have extras!

• Costumes with tutus should be hung upside-down to help increase their fluffiness. :)

• You should try on your costume to double check the fit, but as much fun as it is to wear your costume, wait until AFTER the recital to keep it in perfect condition for your performance! We are not able to get a replacement costume!

 

FREE ALTERATIONS DAY! 

• If you find you need an alteration on your recital costume, please take advantage of our FREE Costume Alterations Day Sunday, April 27th at the studio.

• Important note! Once the alterations date has passed you will need to make your own arrangements for alterations.

Tights, Shoes & More:

 

Each dancer will be responsible for providing their own required tights, skin-tone body liner (bike shorts for our guys) and class specific shoes (purchased from Center Stage). 

​

IMPORTANT NOTE! DANCERS IN SHOWS 2 & 3 WHO DO NOT HAVE A COSTUME CHANGE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO WEAR A BODY LINER/BIKE SHORTS. Anyone with a costume change, including for the VIP & Me dance MUST wear a body liner (bike shorts for guys) under your costume. ALL dancers in Shows 1 & 4 MUST wear a body liner (bike shorts for guys).
