 Recital Dance Bag Check List

Recital can be hectic, The Dance Factory has put together this handy check list to make sure you have everything you need for recital.  Don't wait until the day before the performance to check your costumes. If your costume comes with a lot of small pieces, place small items in a zip lock bag (appropriate size) and pin each individual piece to the costume so they don't get lost in transit or mixed up with someone else's costumes. Use our handy recital check list to be certain you have everything for your special day.

Costumes:

Double check you have all your costumes and any accessory pieces. If you're in more than one dance, a garment bag is very handy to keep all your costumes organized. Don't forget to put your name in all your costume pieces.

Picture
Shoes:

Make sure your shoes are clean and in good repair before the show. Place your name inside all your shoes.

Picture
Tights:



Check to make sure you have the right color, brand and size of tights for each dance you will be performing in. As soon as you receive your tights from Miss Katie, place them with your costume(s).  It is a good idea to have an extra pair of tights in case of runs.
