Bring all required undergarments to class on this day.  This dress rehearsal is during your regular class time with me. Don't forget to pack your bag in the morning. Your grade depends on it - and it's worth a midterm in points!  (Make up and hair is not required.)

Required Items Girls:
*Nude Leotard, *tan or caramel tights, *black leggings, *black leotard or fitted top, *black socks *black tap shoes

Required Items Boys:
*Black formal pants, *white long sleeved button down shirt, *black fitted pants, *black top, *black socks, *black tap shoes

Costumes General Info:
Please look over this document carefully to see which items you are responsible for providing. Scroll until you see your class period and grade.  If it says “provided by PPA” then you will be borrowing something from us. It will live in the dressing room on a hanger with your name on it, before and after the show.  This costume will NOT go home with you. 

Find where it says “Provided by you” in red to see what is required on your part.  Be sure to check for all dances and for both modern and tap as you might have multiple classes and / or multiple dances.  All items are due by dress rehearsals.
