costume fittings - this week!

4/30/2018

 
April 30 – May 3

At the beginning of each class, costumes will be handed out and tried on quickly
so we can finish class by practicing their dances.


All students must wear basic leotard and tights so costumes can be pulled on in the dance studio!  Parents are welcome to come for fitting.

Pink or Tan tights preferred - black is hard to see legs & lengths.

Dancers will not be allowed to take costume parts to the bathrooms to dress.
Boys should also wear something snug and/or be prepared to take off shirts.

Chris Santana (our seamstress) will be on-site to make quick alterations, or to mark so parents/students can make adjustments. It is your choice as to who will complete the alterations, but please let us know whether you want to do your own alterations or have Chris do it.  Chris can take more complicated alterations to fix and return before Photo Days on May 11 & 12.  


Very basic, reasonable costs:  sew straps $2; hem/shorten $5; take in at sides $3; other, more complicated alterations to be determined.  Please pay cash or check to Chris Santana.

Be sure to sign up for Ash Lin Photo times   on the clipboard in the studio! There is no obligation to buy the photos, but we create a complete composite of all our dancers each year and don't want to leave anyone out.
