Storm Dance Alliance Nutcracker Costume Requirements 2014 Dear Parents & Dancers: Show preparations are quickly rolling along, and we are ready to begin photos and finalizing our show. We are so proud of how hard the kids are working, and are getting excited for opening night. Please make sure that you have all of the necessary shoes, tights, hair, and makeup items before Picture Day, Sunday, November 9th, 2014. It is recommended that each child has at least two pairs of tights for all of the pictures and performances. You will be responsible for transporting your personal items and costumes to the auditorium for dress rehearsal. Costumes will be sent home with you after photos. If you lose any part of your costumes, your child may not be able to perform, and you will have to pay the full amount to replace it. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANY COSTUMES HOME during show week for any reason once you have brought them to the auditorium. Question regarding costume info should be directed to my assistant Heather (stormdance.heather@gmail.com) or the costume mistress for Nutcracker Kayla Goss and Laura Kramer (kmg1103@comcast.net) via email. We are so excited for the show, and can not wait to see how fabulous all of the dancers look at picture day Thanks Miss Brook Langkan, Owner Storm Dance Alliance
