Costume Ordering Instructions

As we approach our annual June recital, use the step-by-step instructions list on your class shopping list to assist you in ordering your dancer's costume(s). In order to ensure your dancer has their costume by Picture Day (early May, date TBD) the order deadline is January 24, 2020. Please note that Nimbly's shipping and service costs increase as the season progresses. 

​Starpath Dance Academy is not responsible for costumes not arriving on time for picture day and/or the recital.
  1. Go to www.shopnimbly.com/starpathdanceacademy.
  2. Locate your dancer's class and click on the box. 
  3. You will see each product listed that is part of your dancer's performance outfit. The REQUIRED costume is on the paper you received at Parent Observation Week. ALL costumes require TAN or PINK or fishnet tights; tights are worn for pictures/rehearsal/recital so please plan accordingly. You MUST order these from Nimbly and not elsewhere so they all match under the lights of the stage.
  4. Click the size chart to find sizing details. We have taken measurements for each student found on the back of the paper you received. Please confirm them and match them to the appropriate size. Girth is the most important measurement - you may allow for some growth. Starpath Dance Academy is NOT responsible for your choice in size or any incorrect sizes ordered.
  5. Order the size for which your dancer's measurements fall under. If you have questions about costume sizes, you can call Nimbly at 800-985-2128 or email dancers@shopnimbly.com. 
  6. Once all the required items are in your bag, submit your order.
  7. Your order will be shipped to the studio. Most costumes take 12-18 weeks to arrive. When it arrives, your child's teacher will distribute them at the end of class.​
Note: ALL exchanges go directly through Nimbly. Starpath Dance Academy is not responsible for any incorrect sizes ordered — please triple-check your measurements.

Costume Myths and Facts

Myth: Students need to order new shoes for the recital.
Fact: Students wear the shoes that have been required/recommended for them all year, such as pink ballet shoes, black tap shoes, black jazz shoes, or low-top Converse sneakers, depending on the class.
Myth: Tights can be ordered from anywhere.
Fact: Tights must be ordered from Nimbly with the rest of the costume. Coloring of the tights is very important to how students look onstage — they must match.
