All dancers should arrive in costume, ready to perform.
If your dancer is performing in more than one item, please have them arrive in their first costume and pack any additional costumes in a clearly labelled garment bag. You can find out which dance is first by checking the concert program.

Other Things to Pack

• Please make sure all belongings are clearly labelled.

• Dancers with costume or hair changes should bring everything they’ll need — such as stockings, dance shoes, hairbrush, elastics, bobby pins and bun nets.

• We’ll have a range of fun activities available to keep dancers entertained while they wait for their turn on stage.

• Please don’t send phones, electronic devices, or any valuables, as Action Dance Academy can’t take responsibility for lost or damaged items.

• It’s not necessary to send food, as we recommend feeding your dancer just before drop-off. However, if you’d like to pack a light snack, please:

  • Avoid messy foods or coloured drinks

  • Do not include anything containing nuts

Ensure your dancer wears a jacket or dressing gown over their costume when eating or drinking

Costume Checklists

For your convenience, we’ve created costume checklists for each concert. These outline everything your dancer will need — including costumes, accessories, tights, and hairstyle details — so you can feel fully prepared.
You’ll find the costume checklist by clicking the button below

Underwear & Jewellery

Please ensure that underwear is not visible underneath your child’s costume. Where possible, we recommend flesh or skin-toned underwear, which is now available to purchase through our online store. Alternatively, you may choose underwear that matches the colour of your child’s costume.

Please note that no jewellery is to be worn on stage, including earrings, watches, necklaces, or bracelets. We kindly ask that all jewellery and valuables be left at home, as staff backstage cannot take responsibility for lost items.

Tights

If your dancer requires tights, please visit our online store to purchase either matte tan or ballet tights.
Refer to your dancer’s costume checklist to see exactly which type of tights are needed for each dance.

Make-Up

Stage lighting can make faces appear washed out, so we ask that dancers wear the following:

• Foundation

• Blush

• Eyeshadow (brown, gold, or bronze tones)

• Eyeliner

• Mascara

• Bright red lipstick

For guidance, please watch our make-up tutorial for step-by-step tips.

What About Boys?

Boys do not need to wear make-up; however, a little powder and blush can help under stage lights if they’d like to wear it.

Drop off and pick up procedure:

• Students should arrive dressed in their first costume as listed on the program tab above. If your child has other costumes please bring along on a hanger or bag. Make sure everything is labelled as we will not take responsibility for items that go missing.

• Parents should drop their child to the sign in table. Students will be lined up in their class groups and then escorted to their change rooms by our staff. NO PARENTS will be permitted in the change rooms or back stage.

• Each classroom will have staff assigned to stay with your child for the duration of the concert. We will also provide games, craft and movies to keep them entertained.

• At the end of the concert we ask ONLY 1 parent to come to return to the sign in area to collect your child.

Please see below for parking procedures and parking map.

We kindly ask that phones be put away during the performance so everyone can be fully present and enjoy the moment.

We have a professional videographer and photographer capturing all the action for you!
Every family will receive a digital download of the performance, which can be viewed and shared across all your devices.

You’ll also receive access to onstage and backstage photos. Please note that as these are live-action shots, we can’t guarantee that every individual dancer will be photographed. To ensure you get that perfect close-up, be sure to visit our Media Wall on arrival or before you leave — it’s the perfect spot for you to take some fun costume photos!

And don’t forget — we love seeing your snaps too! 📸
Tag us in your social media posts so we can share in all the excitement and celebrate your dancer’s big day together.

Costumes will be handed out during your dancer’s classes this term.
Please take special care of your costume leading up to the performance — they’ve been custom-made and checked carefully before being distributed.

• Hang costumes neatly in a garment bag.

• Do not wear, wash, or iron costumes before the performance.

• Replacements are not available for lost or damaged costumes, so please keep them safe.

All costumes are yours to keep after the show! If washing is needed afterwards, we recommend spot cleaning or a gentle cold hand wash only. Please note that Action Dance Academy cannot take responsibility for any damage that occurs during washing.
