HAIR
Hair needs to be in a clean, slicked back bun on the CROWN OF HEAD (not the very top-see photo). Dampen hair and use lots of product and bobby pins. NO braids or twists. A hair net
(that matches dancer’s
hair) is helpful over the
bun to constrain flyways.
COSTUME INFORMATION
IMPORTANT! Arrive to Recital in your costume, dance shoes, hair done and ready to go! NO jackets or robes! Girls should not wear underwear under tights, but must wear a "nudie" leotard if they have a costume change. Bring additional costumes in the Recital Bag provided. Click below and scroll to your child's specific class for details!
MAKE UP
​Because of the bright lights used on stage, a dancer’s face looks very “washed out” if make-up is not applied. Apply make-up as listed below. (Please let us know if you are personally opposed to stage make-up.)
-
NO JEWELRY (including earrings!)
-
NO NAIL POLISH
-
NO "TATTOOS"
​
1. Foundation: Use any natural tone. Apply lightly to entire face and blend into neck.
2. Blush: Reddish pink. Extend over the cheekbone up into the hairline. This is important so faces don’t look washed out!
3. Eye Shadow: Light brown on lid and white highlighter under brow bone.
4. Lipstick: A "true" red. “Long lasting” or smudge proof lip colors work well.
5. Mascara: Black. Lightly applied is fine for older dancers, however, if your child has a tendency to rub her eyes, PLEASE DON’T USE IT!
6. TOO LITTLE make-up is better than too much!
