Also, as stated in our class attire and in the Recital Packet, underwear cannot be worn under tights. Tights serve the purpose of underwear so please do not wear any under your costume. This extra layer causes visible bunching and you will be asked to remove it in one of the school’s bathrooms.

Dress Rehearsal Reminders from my dance studio
Funny story: One time, during one of my dance classes, a woman came in with her young daughter to inquire about the classes offered by the studio. She was given an info packet which she read while standing in the lobby. When she came to the part about class attire she was shocked—SHOCKED—that the studio would require her daughter to not wear underwear. One of the assistants tried to explain to her that tights take the place of underwear, but she was not buying it.
It saddens me to think that some girl was deprived the opportunity to experience the joy that is dance just because her mom is an uninformed, ignorant prude.
