My Project

My dance teams work so hard on their choreography and we desperately need matching leggings. One of the aspects of dance that puts the "icing on the cake" is to have matching costumes and undergarments. My students put in hours of work on their routines for their performances and it is so meaningful to them when their costumes match. This is particularly important for their tights because I have students who have different skin tones and they need tights that match their beautiful skin shades. Both my company and junior company teams will feel more confident on stage knowing that they are wearing appropriate tights for their performances.

I would love to surprise my students with new tights in various colors to match their skin tones for our upcoming school year!

Please consider donating to my students' hard work and dedication. They love performing and they are building a sense of appreciation for the arts through their experiences in dance class.
