show will take place on Thursday,

70’s, and 80’s. We have been discussing costumes, and I have attached some
ideas below. The attached link are just ideas to go off of. These are not a
required costume to purchase. All students must wear pants that are comfortable
to move in. They can be jeggings, jeans, jazz pants, black sweats, or athletic
bottoms that go past the knee. Most pieces can be pulled from your child’s
wardrobe they currently have.

footwear must also be comfortable to move in, nothing heavy or bulky. Students
can wear tennis shoes. For students who are in dance outside of school, they
can wear their jazz shoes.
