About the show...
We are thrilled to present our next bi-annual dance production, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
This much-loved story will be brought to life through dance, music, and storytelling, giving every student the opportunity to shine on stage.
The show is a highlight of the FAB calendar and a wonderful chance for dancers to perform as part of a full-scale production in a theatre setting.

Costumes
Costumes play an important part in bringing our production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to life. We work carefully to ensure all dancers look fantastic on stage while keeping costs as reasonable as possible.

Costume Costs
Costumes are priced based on your child’s grade and number of dances. Students in multiple classes or featured roles may need extra costumes, reflected in the pricing. All ballet students will perform a minimum of two dances.
First Steps, Pre-Primary, Primary, and Grade 1 Ballet students will hire their main costume from FAB. Hired costumes must be returned, but any accessories provided may be kept. Please ensure your child has clothing to change in after the shows have finished as costumes must be returned before leaving the venue.
Costumes will be given out during class in labelled bags. All costume items must be brought to the theatre on Sunday 29th March only, unless your teacher advises otherwise. Students should also bring their own tights and required dance shoes.
Please note there is a small £5 increase on costume costs this year due to supplier price rises. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Payment Information
Costume payments will be invoiced directly to parents. Invoices will be sent once choreography has been finalised and costumes have been confirmed for each dancer, ensuring you are only charged for the costumes your child actually needs.
We will inform you if any additional items, such as tights or shoes, are required, although every measure is taken to avoid extra costs.

Rehearsals & Run-Throughs
Most rehearsals for the show will take place during your child’s usual class times. There will be some adjustments to Saturday ballet classes during show term, including class combinations or slight timetable changes, to allow for longer rehearsal sessions. These changes will not incur any additional charges.
