Dear 5th Grade Parents,
We are getting close to our 5th grade dance show, “So Totally 80’s.” The show will take place on Thursday, February 21, 2019 at 6:30 p.m. It will feature amazing music from the awesome decade.

We have been discussing costumes, and I have attached some ideas below. The attached link are just ideas to go off of. These are not a required costume to purchase. All students must wear pants that are comfortable to move in. They can be jeggings, jeans, jazz pants, black sweats, or athletic bottoms that go past the knee. Most pieces can be pulled from your child’s wardrobe they currently have.

All footwear must also be comfortable to move in, nothing heavy or bulky. Students can wear tennis shoes. For students who are in dance outside of school, they can wear their jazz shoes.

Moliver’s class costume:
80’s workout gear. Can have bright colored shirts without. If students have shirts with a print, or words on them, please have it be associated to the 80’s era. Leggings, pants shorts and tights are all acceptable. Accessories can be leg warmers, sweat bands, high knee socks
