Costume Checklist: Mini/Junior Hip Hop Classes

Please read the following information carefully and scroll ALL the way down. Below is a list of what your student needs to wear for their recital dance(s) at our June 2026 year-end recital, dress rehearsal, and photo day. (Links to hair and makeup tutorials are at the bottom.)

Costume Fees will be posted to your online account. You can pay your costume fees through the Parent Portal at any time, but all unpaid fees will be charged to your card on March 16th.

1. "Their own" means it’s something they have and/or wear already (for example: the leotard or shoes they wear to class). If they don't already own the item, it is your responsibility to ensure they get it before May 1, 2026.

2. "Buy" means that Arise has already purchased this item for you and included the cost in your costume fee. Following the recital, you get to keep it.

3. All costumes will be sent home with students following their photo day on May 23rd (on your photos day). You will need to send your child to their photo day with a garment bag labeled with their name, and one hanger per costume. Teachers will help the students pack up their costumes to take home. Please do NOT practice in or wear your costume at home as there are no replacement costumes available if anything were to happen to the costume.

Hair and Make-Up Tutorials

Follow these make-up videos to get your little dancer stage-ready! Please use gel and hairspray to put your little girl’s hair into a high, slicked-back ponytail.

Boys’ Hair & Makeup:
If your boy’s hair is long enough that it moves when he jumps, hold it in place with a small amount of gel. Use a natural powder foundation so his skin isn’t shiny under the lights. Use a touch of eyeliner to make his eyes visible from the stage.
