Costume responsibilities.

Nutcracker parents/guardians must use this link to purchase the necessary items for their dancer(s) by October 1st, 2025. PLEASE NOTE: *Nutcracker items will no longer be purchased directly through Baileys Slipper Shop. We have implemented this new system with Baileys to streamline the ordering process. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the ordering of these items. 

If your dancer has performed this role in the past, these items are acceptable for use.

We kindly ask that all Ginger Baby shoes be submitted by Friday, October 18th to ensure they are ready for our Nutcracker Photo Days.

Once you have ordered and received your dancer’s shoes, please write your dancer’s full name inside both shoes and bring them to the front desk no later than October 18th. Our RCB Wardrobe Team will sew the pom poms onto the shoes after they are turned in.
