Your child must have shoes and tights selected for each class by the studio director which will be given out after Christmas each year. You will be given a recital packet after winter break, which explains hair, make up, tights and shoes, rehearsal and show dates and times, ticket, picture, and video information. Children are required to be at tech and dress rehearsals to perform in the show, unless permission has been given by the director. Attendance is crucial to have the quality productions that we provide. You are responsible for your own costumes, alterations, shoes, tights, hair and makeup. If your child does not adhere to the policies and procedures given in the production packets, Dance Evolutions reserves the right to withhold your child from performing.
