School of Dance Costume Shop
Consent to Fit
Dearest student, please take note of the following:
When you come for a fitting with us, there is assumed consent of the following occurrences:
You feel comfortable disclosing personal information such as your height, weight, and traditional clothing sizes
You feel comfortable being touched by a costume technician in the process of having your measurements taken and having your costumes fit
To this effect, we will provide a costume technician of your preferred gender expression to the best of our ability
You feel comfortable having your measurements spoken aloud in order for them to be taken down by a separate costume technician
If you are uncomfortable with any of these circumstances, you can remove your consent at any time by telling your technician or sending us an email. We will happily make accommodations.
Our goal as a shop is to create a safe and comfortable environment for ALL students. To this end, we sincerely ask that students come to us with any concerns regarding the taking of their measurements or their costume fittings. If there are concerns about your costume itself, your fitting is the perfect time to address that with us so that we can make sure you feel comfortable on stage.
This information is open to adaptation as we continue to learn more.
