Don’t forget your mask! Please bring healthy snacks, lunch and plenty of bottled water. (There will not be water refill stations but it will be sold at retail). Female dancers – dress in dance attire with tights and hair in a professional bun with bobby pins and hairspray. Male dancers – dress in dance attire with hair out of the face. This is your dancer’s opportunity to show their personality with a colored leotard or fun cover-ups. Wear layers because it can be cold in the building when you are not dancing.
