Packing List
It is essential that you have everything necessary for the big night! Find a list of must-haves below to make sure you are the very most prepared!
Students need to bring all dance shoes with them. They should look 'as new' so they may need a clean the night before the show!
​
All children (even musical theatre students) are required to wear tights on stage. These are not provided with the costume and must be bought prior to the big night!
All students need: Natural Tan Jazz Tights
All Ballet students need: Theatrical Pink Tights
Make up must be done prior to arrival.
PLEASE DO NOT PACK MAKEUP FOR CHILDREN UNDER 8.
Last year students decided to play with their make up back stage and many went home with unuseable products.
-

MPAA will not be responsible for your children's electronic devices
To make this event as smooth and stress-free as possible: All costumes will be kept at the venue.
Students will pick up their costumes upon sign-in on show day.
At the end of Act 2 all students will go back on stage to receive a small token and remain on stage for a final bow and awards ceremony.
We encourage all students to wear some casual 'party' attire for this segment.
Please pack this in your students bag clearly labelled.
Along with tights, it is parents' responsibility to ensure students have the correct underwear for the stage. For our senior students, this also means the correct bra. Please ensure your child is in skin coloured underwear and if they require a bra, that it has clear straps.
