The costumes are ordered, the kids are excited, and the classes are learning their parts. Everyone is on pins and needles. "What do our costumes look like???"

I WAS going to make you wait until the costumes arrive, but I SUPPOSE I could take pity and give you a sneak peak. ;)

The costumes are listed by part for the Ballet 3's and down. Ballet 4's up will have to wait a bit longer (sorry kids!) If you don't see your dancer's part listed, please leave me a note in the comments section and I'll get it posted as soon as I can. :)

Daisies:

If you show this photo to your dancer, please make sure to tell her that we will NOT be using the big flower that's pictured. We have flower headpieces that are loaned to the studio and we will be using those. You won't be able to keep the headpieces but you WILL get to keep the big flower in this photo! :)




Roses:

Again, if you show this to your little one, please let her know that we won't be using the little arm puffs. The girls will be borrowing a pretty rose head piece from the studio. You won't be able to keep the head piece, but we'll be sure to send the arm puffs home. I'm sure the girls will want them for playing dress up later. :)



Dragonflies

We probably won't be using the scarf, but the girls will have some pretty neat wings to wear! I'm not sure yet if these will be on loan from the studio, or if we'll be able to send them home. We'll let you know as soon as we can. :) We'll be sure to send the scarf home if we don't use it.



Butterflies

How cute are these? :)



Cats Sorry! No pictures yet. They will have a long sleeve white leotard and a white handkerchief skirt. The rest of their pieces will probably need to be made in our sewing room...so you get to be surprised.

Sleep Fairies

The sleep fairies will be wearing this leotard in the blue color, along with this skirt:

They'll also be wearing a pair of pretty wings to match. I'm not sure yet if these will be on loan from the studio, or if we'll be able to send them home. We'll let you know as soon as we can. :)

Trees

We will only be using the green and blue colors of this costume. The kids will also have "branch" props to dance with and some tree-style head pieces. The props and headpieces are on loan from the studio, the costumes are yours to keep. :)

Wood Fairies

We've ordered this one in the sage green version. The woodland fairies will also be provided with a set of wings and a headpiece. I'm not sure yet if these will be on loan from the studio, or if we'll be able to send them home. We'll let you know as soon as we can. :)

The Children Who Live in the Shoe

We've ordered two of each color, but which color you get will be a surprise. The girls are matched in their lines, two by two. :) Very cute. If there's time we'd like to add an apron and handkerchief to these. (Anyone want to do some very simple sewing?)

Young Aurora's Friends

We've split the class, 1/2 in pink and 1/2 in lavender, but which color you get will be a surprise. A head piece will be provided on loan from the studio.

Everyone else gets to wait and see, but I promise the costumes for the older dancers are beautiful. I'll try to get photos up as we get the first done of each group, so check back from time to time!

If you have any questions, swing by the costume room or leave us a note in the office. Teri or I will be glad to get back to you as soon as we can.
