All costumes should be hung neatly in an out-of-the-way place so that children are not tempted to play with them. At this late date it would be impossible to replace them should any damage occur.

To prepare tutus: Hang and pull netting as straight as possible. A few days before pictures, costumes should be steamed to get out remaining wrinkles. The best way to do this is to hang them in the washroom and let the shower steam do the trick. Netting and sequins do not dry clean well. If necessary, hand wash in cold water and "Woolite" type detergent, then air dry and steam as above. All other costumes can be steamed the same way.

Shoes are required for all performing students. Please make sure you have the appropriate colored footwear. Black tap, caramel jazz shoes and pink ballet shoes. For hip hop please see the desk for appropriate footwear. Acro is performed barefoot.
