Costumes

We like to keep our Winter Showcase costumes simple and easy for families! Each dance will have a small costume fee for teachers to order costume pieces (things like matching skirts, accessories, matching shirts etc.). Along with this, students may be asked to wear items following the dress code for each class and/or items brought from home. Ex. Jr. Ballet 3 classes may wear their own pink tights, black leotard, and ballet shoes + a red ballet skirt and matching headpiece that Airborne provides. To make this process as easy as possible, please make sure you are following the Airborne Class Dress Codes for all classes.

If the costume requires a part of Airborne Dance’s studio dress code and your dancer has not purchased it yet, we may ask you to do so. Other than that, we will do our best to work with what you have at home already!

Hair and Make-up

Teachers will be asking parents to come in closer to the show to go over costumes and hairstyles. Make-up should be kept pretty simple. Light stage makeup is preferred.

Participation

Participation is optional for all recreational students. If students choose not to participate, they will still learn the choreography and practice performing in class with their peers. *Select classes of the same style and age group may be combined based on enrollment numbers. Certain specialty classes will not perform, as they are based mainly on technical growth over performance. The deadline to sign up is September 30th.

Fees and Payments

There will be a $60.00 participation fee for each performing student as well as a $25.00 costume fee per dance. The participation fee also includes 2 complimentary tickets. Additional tickets will be available for purchase at Airborne for $5.00 per ticket. Registration will close 9/30/23.

Example: 1 Dance, Jr. Ballet 1 = $60.00 + $25.00 = $85.00 total
Example: 2 Dances, Jr Ballet 1 & Jr. Tap 1 = $60.00 + $25.00 + $25.00= $110.00 total

Tickets

Each dancer will receive 2 complimentary tickets. Additional tickets will be available for purchase at Airborne for $5.00 per ticket.

Attendance

Attendance is required for both Dress Rehearsal and the Show. Please make sure you can attend both days. Class attendance is also important as teachers begin to teach choreography. The more your dancer is present in class the more confident they will feel on stage!
