If dancers are not "performance ready", a charge may occur on your account for hair bags and/or new tights.

HAIR: Classical Ballet Bun

Please make sure that you are using bobby pins, hair pins, hair gel, hairspray, hair bands, and a matching hair net. These are the only things that should be found in your dancers hair. Make sure to pack lots of extra supplies, including bobby pins so that we can assist with anything that may need fixing and ALSO to attach headpieces properly at the theater.

  • Dancers must have their hair done upon arrival to ALL rehearsals and performances.
  • All buns must be secured with hair nets and bobby pins.
  • Use hair gel, hairspray, mousse, etc. to secure stray hairs and have a smooth, polish appearance. BANGS MUST BE SLICKED BACK

MAKEUP:

  • Mascara
  • Light pink or brown eyeshadow
  • Light pink blush
  • Pack light pink or coral lipstick. The room parent will apply lipstick after costumes are on and dancers are stage ready. Any dancer that arrives with lipstick will have it wiped off and reapplied after costuming.

The stage lighting is very bright and the audience is far away. Please consider the use of makeup so that your dancer can pop on stage during the performance and captured on video.
