Costume Reminders for when you take your costume home
Center Stage Dance Studio
When You Get Your Costume Home
When You Get Your Costume Home
- Check costume fit – try it on with proper tights, bra, etc. Notify us with major problems within 3 days.
- Check Costume information sheet (included with costume) for detailed instructions on your costume
- You are responsible for minor alterations: hem pants, tighten neck straps, etc. If you need a seamstress, please let us know and we will be glad to try and help you locate one.
- Check and label all costume pieces including: hats, shoes, gloves, tights, etc.
- Clean shoes before Picture Day. A magic eraser works wonders on leather shoes. Also, be sure that you have the correct color for Picture day
- Hang costume up properly and keep away from the dog or siblings. Hide it in the back of the closet if necessary.
- Do not wear costume for talent shows, costume parties, or any other even before your recital date.
- CSD costumes should debut at our annual production.
- Prepare your dancer’s survival kit: bobby and safety pins, gel/ hairspray and comb, extra tights, make-up kit and lipstick.
- Be sure to check your recital packet for your picture day schedule. Remember that purchase of individual pictures are not required but we do request that everyone be here. We take class group shots and those are included in our souvenir program.
Costume Information:
CENTER STAGE DANCE
COSTUME INFORMATION SHEET
HAIR – Unless otherwise instructed, hair should be slicked back into a tight bun on the back of the head (not on top). Bun should be secured with a HAIRNET in the color of the dancer’s hair. If your headpiece is a hat, you will be told if modifications to the placement of the bun must be made – usually a low bun or ponytail. Unless otherwise instructed, NO BANGS PERMITTED since bangs obscure the face and we want to see your face. Spray, Gel or Mousse all loose ends. No dangles or curly ends permitted. If you need clips to secure your hair, they MUST BE THE COLOR OF YOUR HAIR. Almost all hair lengths can get into a bun – practice. EVERY BUN must have a HAIRNET!
ABSOLUTELY NO UNDERWEAR – No underwear should be worn under your tights or costumes. Your tights will act like underwear. If you need to wear a bra, make sure it is BEIGE and that the bra straps cannot be seen when wearing the costume.
JEWELRY – No jewelry may be worn on stage or for pictures other than a) small stud earrings in the ears and/or b) accessories that have been assigned. This is a safety measure as well as for uniformity. No necklaces, dangling earrings, ring, anklets, etc. can be worn. Leave any valuables at home. We are not responsible for any lost jewelry.
NO NAIL POLISH, VISIBLE TATTOOS OR PIERCINGS – Clear nail polish or no nail polish at all. No white tips. If you wear colored polish you will need to remove it before pictures and before performance. All tattoos and body piercings must be covered or removed.
NAME IN ALL COSTUME PIECES – Put students’ last name and first initial in all costume pieces, including tights, shoes, gloves, sashes, headpieces, cuffs, etc. We have no extra costume pieces! Keep up with your costume pieces! Every student in the class has the same costume – how will you know which costume or accessory belongs to you?
SHOES – All ballet shoes must have the RIBBONS TAPED IN. All tap shoes must be the buckle kind (age 4) or be double knotted (older classes) or be the slip-on version. All jazz shoes must have the color required for the class and costume. If you need to purchase new shoes, do not wait until the last minute! Never EVER wear dance shoes outside!
COSTUME ALTERATIONS – If sewing is required, please sew where the instructor has pinned or told you. You are responsible for minor adjustments such as straps, hems, etc. If your costume has pants, the hem must be placed at the top of the shoe. Do not let pants be too long – for safety reasons. The costume manufacturer allows lots of extra fabric for all the taller students, so usually costumes with pants need hem alterations. If you need a seamstress, we will gladly give you a number of someone that we have used in the past.
PLEASE do not wear new costumes to any other events, such as talent shows, etc. until after our show.
Costumes should debut at the CSD Annual Production
NO EATING OR DRINKING IN COSTUME – COVER-UPS MUST BE WORN.
