Costume Size?
Each student will be measured during class and will have a costume fitting prior to concert day to ensure everything is just perfect (they get very very excited about this!!)
When will you get your costume?
Babies, Tots and petite feet costumes will be given to parents the week of the concert so they can arrive dressed to the performance and wait with parents until their performance They will not be required to be back stage. All other classes will be required to be dropped off back stage where they will be looked after and dressed by their class parent helpers, until the conclusion of their session.
Returning costumes:
After students have performed, they will need to return costumes to the designated helpers in labelled bag provided (for the majority of students, again, if instructions for your particular class vary, you will be notified by your teacher in the lead up to concert day).
Please ensure your child has a set of play clothes to change into after their perform and return their costume. If costumes are not returned, you will be responsible for payment in full.
In addition:
As a general rule all students require dance stockings and dance shoes, even our babies, tots and petite feet dancers. If you are unsure what tights and shoes are required, please confirm with teacher.
Some classes will be required to purchase additional items for concert day (your teacher will notify all students and parents and cost will be kept to a minimum).
HELPERS:
Many hands make light work… and concert day needs lots of hands. If you are able to lend a hand on the day please let your teacher or Miss Mia know (hello@bbstudio.com.au) as we have a variety of fun roles for parent helpers . Thank you in advance for putting your hand up to help out x
Helpers required for the following roles:
1. Two parent helpers from each class for backstage pre and post performance support for students
2.Two cake & refreshment stall helpers per session. Helpers to be responsible for the stall during, before and after a performance session (of course you will not be expected to help out during your own child’s sessions, there is plenty of time during other sessions and from when you drop your performer off backstage to when the session actually starts to lend a helping hand)
3.Whizz’ in the kitchen to bake some goodies, make up lolly bags etc to donate for the cake stall
4.Additional helpers for ticket collection, support student backstage drop off pickup and more…
