Clothing and appearance
Clothing
Sub-Juniors and Juniors are required to wear a compulsory
college leotard to training. We will fit and order this for them at
the beginning of Term 1 or when they start classes. Intermediates
wear a black leotard.
Your child may wear a ballet wrap and footless tights or
leggings in cooler weather. Jumpers and tracksuit pants are not
suitable to wear during training as our coaches cannot see correct
deportment and alignment under bulky clothing.
Our college jackets are compulsory for students in all age
groups. Your child must wear their jacket whenever they are
representing the college. We will fit them for their jacket in Term
2.
Appearance
For safety reasons, long hair should be neatly secured in a
ponytail or bun, with fringes off the face. All jewellery must be
removed.
Competitions
For competitions, you will need to supply the following items for
your child:
- flesh coloured dance knickers
- hair brush and tail comb.
You may also be required to purchase:
If any of these additonal items are needed, the team manager
will let you know well before the first competition.
Other items required at competitions are included in the
costume and incidental fees:
- makeup and individual use applicators
- hair consumables, such as, hairspray, bobby pins and
hairnets
- false eyelashes.
Costumes
We own sets of costumes that are carefully maintained and reused.
You are not required to sew costumes and are not left with a
wardrobe full of costumes following competitions.
All costumes are made by experienced sewers. Occasionally you may
be asked to help with some minor hand sewing or repairs. After a
competition or concert, you may be asked to take one set of
costumes home to be hand washed.
We charge a costume and incidental fee to cover purchase and hire
of costumes, maintenance and storage costs.
