As the concert approaches, students will require a body stocking and tights for rehearsal days, photos and whilst at the theatre. KDA will be trialling a bulk order from Bloch of all your EOY concert essentials. Through the bulk order, we are able to secure a discount we can pass onto you! Any items purchased through KDA will receive a 10% discount on Bloch RRP.
Order through our online portal here: https://portal.iclasspro.com/kallistadance/products/category/concert-supplies-bloch?viewMode=grid
Use the discount code KDAConcert when checking out of the online portal for the 10% discount to be applied.
The order will be placed on the 10th of October (Week 1 of Term 4) so make sure you order before the cut off. Items will then be handed out to students in class once received by KDA. Late orders will not be accepted. If you require additional dance shoes or uniform, please contact the office as we can add these to the order to secure you a discount.
Be sure to select the correct item, as refunds and returns are subject to Bloch’s T&Cs and reliant on KDA receiving this from Bloch.

Make Up Guidelines
It is preferred that Children do wear make up, but this is NOT compulsory.
What you will need: Foundation, Eye shadow – browns and golds, Eye Liner (optional), Mascara, Blush, and Lip Stick – red
Try using lots of moisturiser on your child’s face a good ½ hr prior to putting the make up on. It will protect their skin and make it easier to remove the make up. Sorbelene is a great product for make up removal.
Hair Guidelines
Pre-school, Sub Junior, Sub Inter and Inters students must all wear their hair in a bun for the EOY concert. A low bun is preferred as hear pieces sit better.
Senior and Advanced students are either a low pony tail or low bun. Teachers will advise for each dance.
Bun Tips:
What you will need: Hair Elastics, Hair Net, Hair Pins, Bobby Pins, Hairspray(Water Spray). Hair is to be put into a bun at home (unless otherwise specified). It is easiest to put up hair when it hasn’t been recently washed, so if possible leave hair unwashed for better results.
