Costumes
Costumes have been coming in and tried on during class time. In your costume bag you should receive all necessary pieces of the costume including the checklist. Please use these as a reference when getting ready for each dance event. Please also check to make sure you have everything on the list. Tights and costumes are to be worn only at dance outs, pictures, and recital. To ensure that our costumes look great for each of these events, please keep them hung up in a special place and be sure to keep all pieces together. I will not be able to replace any lost items in time for these events. Any alterations to the costumes need to be done before the dance outs or pictures!
Makeup
Makeup orders will be coming in soon! Anyone who has not ordered lipstick this year through the studio, please make sure to send us a picture or bring in the correct lipstick to have the lipstick fee taken off your dancers account. The makeup will continue to stay the same color, unless there are any colors that are discontinued. Any brand for black eyeliner and mascara is okay. For your convenience, an online makeup tutorial is posted on our website at www.trinitydancecenter.com. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us at the front desk.
Costume Cover-Ups

Parent Volunteers for Recital
The recital takes a lot of help to help keep it running smoothly. In May, we will be posting sign up sheets for parent volunteers.
