Costumes are to be worn only at dress rehearsal and performances. Once distributed, they become the responsibility of the parent/guardian, and any lost or damaged items must be replaced at the family’s expense. All costumes, shoes, and personal items must be labeled with the dancer’s initials. Dancers without proper costume and shoes will not be permitted to perform.

Dance shoes may not be worn outside. Only assigned accessories may be worn on stage, and jewelry (except small stud earrings) is not permitted.

Dancers with multiple costumes must wear a skin-tone leotard and tights underneath for modesty and quick changes. Costumes should be hung neatly and steamed the week of recital.

Please refer to the Recital Handbook for full details.

Stage make-up helps define dancers’ features under bright lights and ensures they can be clearly seen on stage. Make-up is required for all dancers, including little ones.

All dancers should wear red lipstick (no nude or brown shades), eyeshadow in pinks, corals, purples, or browns (no blue, gray, or black), and blush that matches their skin tone. Mascara is recommended for ages 5 and up, and foundation is required for ages 8 and up. Black eyeliner is optional.

For full details and age-specific requirements, please refer to the Recital Handbook.

All dancers must wear their hair in a bun or French braid(s) into a bun unless otherwise instructed. Hair must be fully secured with bangs and loose pieces slicked back. The only item in the hair should be the required costume headpiece, and no unnatural hair colors are permitted.

Hair will be inspected before dress rehearsal and each performance. Dancers will not be permitted on stage if hair is not properly secured.

For complete details and requirements, please refer to the Recital Handbook.

Lilies of the Valley dancers will remain in their classrooms with their teacher and room mom until Intermission. After performing, they return to their classroom under supervision.

At Intermission, parents must pick up their dancer directly from the classroom. Dancers must be checked out with the room mom before leaving. After checkout, they may watch the rest of the show with their family.

A promo code will be provided for a discounted ticket if your dancer will need a seat in the audience.

Professional videographers will be capturing the Saturday show, and a photographer/content creator will be on site. Exact dates for additional coverage will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
