We ask that you provide your own uniform! This is in an effort to make sure everyone is comfortable and able to be confident on our performances. We are also hoping to allow families that might already have items in their closets to save some money/fees. Please let us know if you need help providing these uniform parts.
Let's remember: Please dress up - no jeans/tennis shoes, etc. No crocs, converses, Vans, other tennis shoes. And no, black jeans are not dress pants and leggings are not pants! But, feel free to wear leggings under a skirt/dress that follows the guidelines.
