Recital Costumes
To help keep recital costs low for families, we select 3-in-1 recital costumes for each age group.
These costumes are versatile across dance styles, so dancers can wear the same costume for multiple recital dances. Dancers enrolled in more than one class within the same age group only need to buy 1 costume!
Each costume comes with 3 different bottoms:
- Shorts
- Tutu
- Jazz Skirt
- Each teacher decides which bottoms their classes will wear.
Costume Price: $85
Due Date: November 1st
Note: Dancers who opt-out of the recital do not need to purchase a costume. Please submit a
recital opt-out form
as soon as possible if you are choosing this option.

Make Up
- Makeup can make the recital extra fun for young dancers. It also helps their facial features be seen by the audience.
- It’s a personal preference for each family, but dancers typically wear:
- Powder
- Pink blush
- Nude eye shadow
- Red lipstick
- Black mascara
- Black eye liner
It is OK if you prefer that your dancer does not wear make-up.
Recital Tips
It might be hard to contact staff on the day of the recital. Please ask questions in advance.
Look into how far the venue is from your home or from wherever you’ll be coming.
Buy these at least 30 days in advance to avoid sizing or shipping issues. Let dancers practice in them before the big day!
Recital details are updated there regularly. Find it at goinsdancing.com.
Label shoes, bags, lovies, costumes, and anything else your dancer brings backstage to avoid mix-ups.
Masking tape works great!
Please aim to have your dancer backstage 15 minutes before start time.
Perfection is not the goal. Focus on fun and creating memories.
Many dancers receive flowers. Some may feel left out if they don’t.
Stay for the full recital. Silence phones. Sit toward the back with small children.
Recital day is special for dancers and families. Sit back, relax, and celebrate your dancer’s hard work!
