Costumes: All students should now have their Nutcracker costumes. This year each costume will come with two matching masks. Please do not wear these masks until the day of the show. Please make sure all students have pink ballet tights and pink ballet slippers. All students will also need to have their hair in a bun with light make up. Party Scene will need either pig tails or a pony tail, curled please! This year costumes will need to be returned to the studio the week after the performance. 

 

We understand that both of these locations are unusual but we are trying to do the best we can with what we are able to work with. If you are not comfortable with your child performing at either of these venues please let us know as soon as you can so we can plan accordingly.
