2018 MCDA Spring Concert Costume Information DANCER NAME:______DANCER’S CLASS:______

Included in this bag is your class costume. Instructors have checked for desired fit. Please be aware that a safety pin may be needed to tighten straps or waist bands. When you receive your costume please hang it up to allow it to settle into place. For stiffer skirts or tutus it's recommended to hang in a steamy bathroom to help the skirt relax. Please do not allow your dancer to wear the costume until after the performance is complete. We are unable to fix or reorder costumes if something happens to them prior to the performance.

Included with this note, and in the MCDA hallway is a complete list of costume items for each class. Items provided by the dancer (such as ballet shoes, undergarments and ) are labeled with a star * Your concert tickets and your concert t-shirt will be available to pick up at the front desk. Dancers are invited to wear their concert t-shirt anytime.

Concert Hair: Unless specified otherwise with instructor performers hair should be in a mid ​ height ponytail. Hair should be slicked back with gel and/or hairspray. Blond, brown or black hair elastics, clips and bobby pins are encouraged. Dancers with short hair should pull or clip hair away from the face.

Concert Makeup: A light application of blush and tinted chapstick is encouraged for our ​ younger dancers. This accentuates their features and prevents their faces from being “washed out” by the stage lights. Older dancers (8+) are encouraged to wear blush, lipstick, eyeshadow and mascara.

Please remove jewelry and nail polish for the performance.

Concert Shoes: Pink ballet slippers (black for boys) with elastics tucked in or in a double knotted bow -We recommend the Bloch full sole leather slipper available at BBW for quality and fit Black tap shoes (including laces/ribbons) Black jazz shoes (slip on or lace up are both fine) Hip Hop Sneakers should be neutral in tone (ideally in the color scheme of the costume)

Concert Tights: If tights are required for your costume please wear the Bloch brand. These professional tights, as well as shoes, can be purchased at local dancewear store Boulder Body Wear at a discount. Mention MCDA at the time of purchase. * A reminder that individual portraits with our professional photography will take place Friday, May 11th. Sign up for a slot at the front desk. Space is limited.
