Dresses
For Competition and Performance (including Recitals and Dance-Outs) dancers must wear either a hot pink leotard and school skirt, or a school dress, or if they have achieved the necessary level, a solo dress.
- All young dancers in the school recital need to wear a school leotard & skirt. Let Maureen know if your dancer needs a school skirt so she can be measured as soon as possible.
The last model of leotards sold out unexpectedly, here is the NEW link :
Make sure to order HOT PINK.
- Fittings for school dresses are in the Fall, please let Maureen know if you are interested in having your dancer fitted.

Hair
Curled hair is required for girls dancers in Competition and Performances. Beginners can curl their hair or wear bun wigs. Older dancers may wear full wigs. Wigs can often be purchased at feisanna, and of course online.
Check with Maureen if you have any questions.
- Irish Wigs (the Meghan wig is a good choice for young dancers, the Grainne is a good choice for older/ more advanced dancers) We can get fairly sizable discout if we can order at least 10 wigs at the same time.
