COSTUMES

We supply costumes for all the dancers for their dance display routines for a small hire charge. You will be asked to supply basics such as dance socks, tights, shoes, and hair ribbon. Dancers should wear a skin-tone leotard for changing. A full costume list, with additional guidelines for hair and makeup, will be provided here in advance and brown envelopes will be distributed in class for costume hire.

CHANGING ROOMS

Each class is allocated a specific room / changing area You should check their changing room allocation and the map of the area so that you know where to go on arrival. Please click the button to view the changing room allocation and other information about the changing areas. Note that parents are not allowed backstage (including dressing rooms 1-8) and performers will be supervised by chaperones and the CSBS team. Chaperones will be PVG registered.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS… and answers!

  • The dressing rooms open 45 minutes before the rehearsal / performance begins and all dancers must be ready in costumes 10 minutes before ’curtain up’. You can arrive any time between those points.

  • For safety and space, we ask that parents sign their child into the dressing room then leave as soon as possible. Chaperones will supervise the children. If you are in the audience, you should remain in your seat during the performance.

  • No… all costumes must be left after the performance. Your costume charge is just to hire the costume and does not cover the cost of purchase.

  • Leask Photography will take photos during the dress rehearsals. You will need to collect a password card from the Foyer in the theatre. Our own (amateur) photos will be available on social media.

  • Each class will be allocated a space in the communal changing areas. These spaces are signposted and accessed through the Macrobert foyer. View allocations / map on the changing room page.

  • Long hair should be secured in a tight neat ballet bun. Both hair and makeup guidelines can be viewed on the COSTUMES page

  • It is ANY black shoes! It could be tap shoes / jazz shoes / gym shoes / party shoes / school shoes.

  • The professional videographers will be filming background footage before the show as dancers arrive and backstage as well as each of our 6 performances with multi-cameras. It takes some time to process all the footage and we expect to have the footage in approx. 8-10 weeks.
