Costume Info

How costume choices work is as follows. We work extremely hard to reuse costumes from our costume room to keep the cost down for parents. Our dancers pay a flat rate whether they reuse or we order for them. 

Please submit

  • 2-3 costume inspiration ideas (images or descriptions) OR

  • A clear description (e.g., "red sparkly half skirt" or all black with a pop of colour

We will first source from our costume room. If no suitable option is available, we will order from a costume company.

If needed we may source from other companies, but we prioritize Canadian suppliers

Company's we order from:
https://canada.revolutiondance.com/
https://stardomdancecostumes.com/
https://laylasdancecostumes.ca/
https://costumesbyjazzamatazz.com/

COSTUME CHOICES ARE DUE: JANUARY

Recital Music

Teachers must finalize and upload recital music by APRIL

Upload your music directly by clicking the button below

Recital Practice Videos

Teachers must upload practice videos within 48 hours of class

Parents have direct access to their dancers class drive so organization is essential.

Videos must be labeled.

Recommended method: DATE - DANCE NAME - WALK THROUGH OR MUSIC.

Example: "September 8 - Boogie - Music"

This helps parents find material and allows leadership to track choreography progress for show lineups.
