For In-Studio Rehearsals, Royal Children should wear their regular school uniform and shoes.

For Theatre rehearsals and performances, Royal Children should arrive underdressed in pink tights and wear pink ballet shoes, as well as a tan liner leotard to wear under their costume in the theatre. Available for purchase HERE.

High bun, foundation, mascara, lipstick (pink or light red that matches skin tone) for girls. Arrive in a tan liner leotard, with appropriate tights and clean, tidy shoes. No nail polish, no glittery makeup, no holes in tights. Pink tights and pink ballet slippers.

Please note that dancers may not leave the theatre directly into the lobby. Dancers need to be met at the stage door.
