Costume Info
Important costume dates:
- May 1-7: Costume & tights distribution
Costume details:
- RDC staff take dancer’s measurements in class. Our teachers choose the costumes for each class and then we size them carefully and order everything your dancer needs!
- Dancers will get a different costume for each of their classes. If you’re enrolled in a combo class (Ballet/Tap, Hip Hop/Acro) your dancer will do two dances and they’ll get a 2 in 1 costume for one cost.
- There is a $70 per class costume deposit due up front that has been posted to your account. The actual costs of each costume are reconciled after we order them and your account will be charged for any additional costs or credited for any difference in March.
- We work to keep costs down and our deposit amount is set at $70 to hopefully cover all costume costs.
- Costume, tights and accessories are included with your costume purchase.
- Families are responsible for shoes and any costume alterations needed.
- You will own these costumes and although it’s a LOT of money for an outfit they are going to wear only a few times, most of our dancers wear them for several years after for dress up, costume weeks at RDC and other things!

Important Recital Information
RECITAL PICTURES - Each class has their own specific time slot for their pictures (see schedule at bottom of page). Every dancer will take an individual photo and do a class group photo for each class. You are under no obligation to buy them until you’ve seen them. They will be posted online for you to view and you can order them there. All dancers should arrive to pictures with the costumes/tights/shoes already on and their hair and make-up (optional) already done. Please arrive ready to take photos! Each dancer must have an adult with them to supervise. We won’t wait for anyone so DO NOT BE LATE! If you’re late or you miss your time slot, you’ll miss your pictures!

- Picture Days are not mandatory, but it's a great way to document your dancers year. We print a picture book each year with all class pictures, so you/your dancer will go down in RDC history!

You get to watch! Dancers should show up to these rehearsals in their costumes/tights/shoes and ready to dance. We’ll do a fun group warm-up and then each class will perform their dance for the other classes dancers/parents twice! It’s a fun, low key way for them to practice in front of others.

You can find what show(s) your dancers is performing in by checking the Class recital assignment document below. We will have actual show orders confirmed by the end of April.
Your dancer will be required to arrive between 30-90 minutes (based on age/level) prior to their recital start time. This is so we don’t have everyone arriving at once and to make sure we get all dancers checked in before the show starts. Our youngest dancers will be just 30 minutes prior and our oldest dancers will be 90 minutes, as they need a full warm-up.
YOUR DANCER WILL STAY BACKSTAGE FOR THE ENTIRE SHOW, so they will NOT need a ticket! You’ll drop your dancer off at your assigned entrance to the recital and your dancer will stay backstage with our staff during the entire show with our backstage staff. You will then pick them up after the show is over!
WE WILL NEED MANY VOLUNTEERS DURING THE SHOWS! This is a great way to give back to our community and you can also watch your dancer, for free from backstage. You can volunteer for a show your dancer is in and be with them backstage, or for a show they aren’t in, so you can watch from the audience. There are bunch of different roles you can fill. The online volunteer sign-up was sent via email!
FAQ’s - Our Recital Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document is below! It includes details about each classes costume, hair and make-up, volunteering, how you can prepare for the recital, parking, arrival, ADA info, backstage and dressing rooms, and more!
