Important Tips to Families to Help Get Kids Ready for the Show
1. Bring a Bin
Use a bin with a lid to keep all your child’s things in one place—shoes, clothes, jewelry, makeup, hairbrush, water bottle, etc. Label the bin with your child’s name to avoid losing anything.

2. Hair Prep
Do not wash your child’s hair after 4 PM on Sunday. This helps their scalp stay fully dry for easier styling on Monday afternoon when we do hair styling backstage from 4-6pm.

3. What to Wear Under Outfits
Please have your child wear a fitted base layer under their regular clothes—something like a dance leotard, fitted tank top, shorts, or leggings. This can help them feel more comfortable.
4.Snack
We suggest kids eat before/after the event, but if you think your child might be hungry, please pack them a snack PLUS a water bottle.
