Reference the class list below & follow the link to view and purchase costumes
The costume option that the link takes you to is the correct color option, and for added assurance, the color name is noted next to the class costume assignment here as well!
I've selected costumes through Amazon again this year to help ensure the quantity needed for each style, at an economical price point for each student family. Please read through each item's size guide and measure your dancer for best accuracy with ordering the correct size.
All costumes are noted as in-stock as of today's date. Families are encouraged to purchase their student's costume soon to ensure you have it in-hand well ahead of the performance date! EBA is notifying you of this class costume selection just under two months ahead of the recital dates, and EBA staff are not responsible for costumes that are no longer available for purchase at later dates or labeled out of stock just before the December recital show.
Clean, ballet pink tights without holes and pink ballet slippers or applicable black tap shoes from class are needed for the performance too. I'll be sending out an email towards the beginning of December with make-up, hairstyle, etc. details ahead of our dress rehearsal/performance day.
Many hours of careful thought and consideration go into selecting each costume, and I so dearly hope that every student loves their costume and feels all the more ballerina-like with it on!

STUDENT COMPANY & Jr. Company COSTUMES
Company dancers are welcome to purchase a rhinestone tiara/headpiece to wear with their soloist tutu, something complimentary to their individual tutu and personal preference with what they feel most confident wearing!
No tiara or headpiece will be provided by EBA on recital day.
Feel free to wear a tiara from a previous performance as an option, as long as it’s something that lays flat on your head, can be secured super well with bobby pins, staying securely on for the entire variation!
The following links will take you to the correct assigned costume and color. Please reference the size charts/guides and sometimes even product reviews to choose the best size for your dancer!
