Picture Day
We are thrilled to announce that Picture Day 2026 is just around the corner! This exciting event gives everyone the chance to preserve class memories with both group photos and striking individual shots. These photos will feature your dancer in the recital costumes that were ordered in December. We will begin handing out costumes prior to the Picture Day dates in May, so everyone will be ready for their close-up!
Picture Day SchedulePlease note that there will be no regular classes held at a location on the day Picture Day is scheduled to allow us to dedicate the time and space to capturing these special moments.

Arrival & Participation-Be Early: Please arrive no more than 10 minutes early to your scheduled time slot to ensure your dancer is ready for their group photo.
-Photo Ready: All dancers must arrive in full costume with hair and makeup done, wearing the correct color tights and shoes.
-Strict Scheduling: We run on a strict schedule and cannot retake group photos if a dancer misses their assigned time.
-Individual Shots: If your dancer cannot attend their group time slot, individual photos can be taken throughout the day at any location.
-Purchasing: You can conveniently purchase these dance memories during the recital dress rehearsal. Costume Care & Appearance-To ensure every dancer looks their best, please follow these guidelines:
-Handling: Hang your costume immediately upon receiving it. Do not wear it outside of designated fittings or the recital.
-Cleaning: Costumes should not be washed in a washing machine.
-Tutu Care: If your costume has a tutu, hang it upside down by the crotch to help it regain its fullness and release wrinkles.
-Tights & Shoes: All dancers must wear Capezio Ultrasoft tights. Please refer to the attached list for the specific tight and shoe colors required for your dancer's class by clicking here. The "Extras": Dancers may not wear jewelry, nail polish, or underwear (tights have a built-in lining, and underwear will show under the leotard).
Makeup: While not mandatory, we strongly encourage at least blush/bronzer, mascara, and lipstick so features are not washed out by bright lights. Hair Requirements:Hair must be pulled back into a professional ballet bun with a part over the left eye. This is the required hairstyle for both Picture Day and the Recital/Dress Rehearsal. We have attached detailed instructions and a video below—remember, practice makes perfect!
