Costumes
Costumes will be designed for each number to suit the selection of music and the dancer(s).
Great care should be taken with respect to all costumes. Plastic cleaners’ bags do not provide sufficient protection for costumes. Costume garment bags and tote bags are ideal. Each dancer is required to wear the studio jacket to all competitions – when arriving at a competition, during award ceremonies and upon leaving the competition. It can all be used as a cover-up for snack time during competitions. No food or drinks should be eaten while a dancer is in costume and definitely not backstage.
Please ensure that your dancer has his / her costumes when leaving home. Please check and double-check before they leave. Make certain that all pieces of each costume are accounted for and that the appropriate shoes, tights, jewelry, hair accessories and props are included (please refer to charts).You and your dancer are responsible for this. If a piece of costume or prop is left behind, every dancer must go on without that particular item. There are NO EXTRA pieces. Be sure you have an extra pair of tights packed in case of an emergency.
- Every dancer should have a sewing kit containing: scissors, needles, assorted threads, assorted safety pins, and extra elastic if warranted.
- Every dancer should have a first aid kit, which includes; skin tone band aids, tensor wrap, mini-ice pack, and extra tampons (if applicable). The tensor wraps and ice packs have come in handy many, many times.
- Also, clear nail polish may be used to repair tights when there is no time to change. Static guard and nail polish remover pads are also necessary items to have.
- All tap dancers should have a screwdriver on hand that fits their taps.
Dressing rooms will be checked regularly during and after a competition. Lost items are usually brought back to the studio.
Rugcutterz routines have won overall awards at many competitions in the U.S. and Canada
Hair
Please note that grooming is adjudicated along with the actual dance and performance.
Dancers will be notified regarding the hair style(s) required for each competitive routine. Please note that bangs are not permitted and will have to be pinned / gelled back. Each dancer should arrive at a competition in the appropriate hairstyle for the first number they are in. You will need; hairbrush, comb, long and short hairpins, hairspray, elastics, hair-nets for buns, gel or spray gel. Please purchase a supply of these items for your dancer. Do not rely on other dancers to supply these items.
Make-Up
Dancers will be notified at the beginning of the competitive season regarding the correct make-up to be worn by all dancers. It is important that all dancers apply and wear the same make-up for a uniform look. Please do not use other colour choices, as they are ineffective on stage. All dancers in a group number are supposed to look alike.
For hygienic reasons, please do not share make-up.
Most theatres do not have sufficient lighting or mirror space available for make-up application. Please include a mirror in your make-up case.
Please note that no nail polish, watches or jewelry may be worn on stage (including pierced earrings) unless part of the costume.
Hair & Make-Up Demonstration
A full hair and make-up demonstration will be arranged for the 2010 / 2011 dance season. The dates will be announced in the studio.
