You need to supply:
1. pink ballet shoes
2. pink tights (Only foot and ankle show, so runs higher up are ok!)
3. white long-sleeved turtleneck shirt (If you don't have one, there are
a few available to be borrowed. Ask at the next rehearsal.)
4. light-colored (e.g., pink or beige) leotard to wear under the costume,
so that costume can be put on and taken off without tying up the restrooms
Rest of costume is provided:
hat
sword
vest and belt
white leggings
There will be a costume fee of $25
per child (a flat fee, regardless of how many parts the child dances) that covers
purchase, repair, and cleaning of the costumes. Make check payable
to Hanneke Lohse, and give it to Scherezada Moreno.
Dressing for the performance:
Hair should be in a bun on top of
the head, where the hat will cover it. The hat won't fit if the bun is
too far back on the head. (Dancers who change to Flower can use the same
bun for Soldier. Just make sure the bun is on the high end of the Flower
range, and check that the Soldier hat fits over it.)
Use a hairnet to make sure that dancing doesn't shake the bun loose.
This picture shows a great bun position; an inch or so farther back will
also work. In this case the hair was braided before being wrapped into
the bun, but that isn't necessary.
