Our Costuming

What Do I Wear to Class?

Students should wear comfortable “summer” clothing – t-shirts or tank tops, shorts, white socks and their dance shoes. No pants, and definitely no jeans!

Please wear your hair off of your face, with short hair pulled back in a headband, and long hair in a ponytail or bun.

About Our Costuming

Please take good care of your costuming. Not only is it very important to Triallta that we present ourselves in the best light possible, but outgrown or otherwise no-longer-used costume pieces can be resold – if they are in good condition!

Beginner Costume

We have tried very hard to keep our beginners’ costuming affordable yet high-quality. We have also tried to keep pieces reusable from one level to the next. If they don’t grow out of them first, girls and women can reuse their headbands, shorts and tights, and men and boys can reuse their black dress pants and socks with their Intermediate costume.

Shipping is not included in our estimates.
