Costume Checklist: Inter Foundations and Intermediate Ballet Levels

Please read the following information carefully. Below you will find a list of what your student needs to wear for their recital dance(s) at our June 2025 year-end recital, dress rehearsal, and photo day. (Links to hair and makeup tutorials are at the bottom.)

Note that all the classes for the Inter Foundations and Intermediate levels are on this page. Only check the costumes for the classes your child(ren) are in.

Costume Fees will be posted to your online account by March 1st. 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 15th.

All costume items below fall under 1 of 3 categories:

1. "Their own" means it’s something they have and/or wear already (for example: the ballet suit they wear to class). If they don't already own the item, it is your responsibility to ensure they get one before May 1, 2025.

2. "Buy" means that this item has already been purchased for you and is included in your costume fees. You will get to keep it.

3. "Rent" means that Arise owns this item and the rental fee has been included in your costume fee. After the recital, this item must be returned to Arise in the same condition it was taken. Lost or damaged rentals will need to be replaced at your cost.
