It’s challenging to find costumes for the wide age and size range we have… so this year we are keeping it FUN and SIMPLE. This will give you an opportunity to be your own costume designer and to be creative (within certain parameters).
BASIC COSTUME FOR GIRLS – we will be adding wings and things to this basic costume. Girls who are playing boys will dress like them.
SKIRT – layered, ruffled or tiered skirts in blues, greens, purples, pinks, yellows. SOLIDS or simple overall FLOWER patterns. Choose the length that best fits your body type and is full enough to move in easily.
TANK TOP – blues, greens, purples, pinks, yellows. SOLID.
CROPPED LEGGINGS & CONVERSE-LIKE SNEAKERS (hi or low tops) – coordinate with your skirt and top. Should be fun and a bit funky!
Here are two examples:
BASIC COSTUME FOR BOYS
Boys (and girls who are playing boys) will be fitted for brown or beige gaucho dance pants that we have from a previous show. So don’t worry about bottoms.
TANK TOP – solid green or blue, no logos. We have some tank tops for the boys to try on but may not have all sizes. Here are examples from the Gap. (It is difficult to find solid anything for boys – especially in colors, without logos. Do the best you can!)
CONVERSE-LIKE SNEAKERS (hi or lop tops) – colors are best. Black is OK if it is all you have and you don’t need a new pair. White is least favorable but don’t buy new ones if they are all you have.
Please wear your costume to the first evening rehearsal that you are scheduled for so that we can see what you have and what you might need (and to make sure it is appropriate)
Also, bring a water bottle and snack to evening rehearsals. They will be long and hot… and fun, of course. It will help immensely if every comes prepared!
