Costume Info:
Recital Costumes have been handed out. Windsor Rec – Costume Recommendations will be handed out in our Recital Packets
- Try on your costume ASAP after receiving it in class.* If sizing is wrong beyond simple adjustments that you can make at home, please contact the studio directors immediately at 970-230-3226 phone or text/ email info@thedancedepartment.net
- After trying on your costume and making any simple adjustments with director’s approval, do not wear or play with it again until AFTER Dress Rehearsal and Recital – after that it is yours to treasure, save, wear as a halloween costume or dress up in whenever and however you see fit : )
- Store your costume in a safe place out of reach of little hands and paws. Tutus should be hung upside down. Smaller headpieces may be kept in a small zip lock bag and clipped to the hanger. We CANNOT replace your costume OR headpiece.
- We recommend storing your costume in your bathroom for a week before recital – not in a place where it will get wet but, the steam will help get rid of any wrinkles. You may steam your costume but DO NOT IRON to get wrinkles out!
- DO NOT wash your costume in any appliance or dry clean. If for any reason you need to spot clean, do so by hand. Spot treat only if necessary and do not use any type of stain remover.
- Pro – Tip for Recital and Dress Rehearsal – pretend you’re a movie star and do your hair and make-up (besides lipstick) prior to putting your costume on, so as to avoid accidentally getting make-up on your costume. Always put your lipstick on Very Very LAST : )
RECITAL MUSIC- if your dancer is interested in practicing at home here is a link to find their music.
