As far as costuming is concerned, all classes will be fit for their costumes that will be provided by YDA. However, dancers are responsible to have the required dance supplies for each of their dance classes. For example, Pre-Ballet dancers should have a long sleeved leotard and every female dancer should have tights with no holes, and nude/pink ballet slippers (with no holes). Required dance attire for each class can be found on our website, click here for a direct link.

HAIR

All dancers are to have their own hair supplies; elastics, hair brush, hair spray, hair net, bobby pins. (hair pieces as part of their costume will be provided by YDA).

MAKE-UP

Each dancer is to have their own make-up. Make-up should include; foundation/powder, blush, eye shadow (natural earth tones), eye liner, mascara, lip stick.

*Dancers travelling to the Osprey should bring their own mirror to help them to get ready.

Be sure to have your dancer's name on everything. When we start to have larger rehearsals and combine classes, supplies can get mixed up easily.
