SESD Picture Day Expectations

  • Every dancer receives a group picture and an individual picture in each of their costumes.
  • Dancers should arrive in costume, with hair and makeup completed. If your dancer has multiple dances, check the Picture Day schedule to determine which costume to wear first.
  • Picture Day may span more than one day depending on the season. Check the schedule to see which day, or days, your dancer is assigned.
  • Sibling pictures are allowed. Friend pictures are not, since the schedule does not allow time for them.
  • No nail polish or jewelry, please.
  • Never eat in costume.
  • Dancers are expected to arrive five to ten minutes before their first picture slot.
  • Detailed hair and makeup requirements will be distributed closer to the date.
  • Foundation and Introduction Level dancers need a parent present to help with costume and hair changes.
  • One room is used as the picture studio, and the other is reserved for dancers who need to change. Students, siblings, and parents who are not assisting with a costume change should wait in the lobby.
  • Dancers should get changed and ready as quickly as possible, and act professionally while waiting. Please refrain from acrobatics or other activities that could cause injury to yourself or another dancer.
