If your dancer has pierced ears, they are required to wear competition rhinestone earrings for all performances.
For dancers without piercings, rhinestone clip-on earrings are an acceptable alternative.

The recommended competition earring options are listed below and can also be found on the Team Resource Hub shopping list:

• Rhinestone Earrings – Round Shaped, 15MM

• Clip-On Halo Rhinestone Earrings

These earrings are part of our required competition look and help ensure a consistent, polished appearance across all teams on stage.

 When attending competitions, hair and makeup must be completed, and dancers must be dressed in TDPNW apparel when not in costume. This includes a TDPNW t-shirt, crewneck, hoodie, jacket, or similar approved top. Wearing a TDPNW top is mandatory when out of costume.

When dancers are on stage for awards:

• A TDPNW top or jacket is required 
• No pajama pants are allowed on stage 
• Leggings or professional dance pants are acceptable 
• Bottoms may be worn in this year’s team colors:
  Periwinkle Blue, Royal Blue, Hot Pink, or Black
• TDPNW tops must be paired with clean, professional-looking dance pants 
• NEW FOR 2026: Season 8 TDPNW shirts purchased through TDPNW Foundation are acceptable

All dancers must be fully dressed, arrive at the venue, and be checked in with their teacher at least 90 minutes prior to their scheduled stage time. Competitions often run early, and this buffer ensures dancers are prepared, warmed up, and ready if the schedule shifts.

Failure to arrive on time may result in unnecessary stress for the dancer and the team and can impact overall readiness.
