GENERAL NOTES
ADD SOME FLAIR WITH PERFECT HAIR!
All hair styles should be sprayed liberally with hairspray and headpieces secured with Bobby pins! If you have a ballet bun hairstyle it should be in line with your dancers cheekbones, secured with plenty of Bobby pins and a hairnet if there are flyaways. Test the security of the headpiece by shaking your head vigorously then add a few extra pins for extra luck!
MAKE-UP MAGIC...
All dancers should wear "stage makeup." This is adult makeup applied a little bit heavier than normal. Application includes: foundation, blush, mascara, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and red or pink lipstick. The bright stage lights tend to wash out dancers’ expressions so accenting the eyes, lips, and cheeks ensures that your dancer can be seen past the 3rd row! Please apply makeup before entering the theatre!
ACCEPTABLE ACCESSORIES:
Small stud earrings may be worn if your dancers ears are pierced. No other jewelry is permitted unless it is a part of their costume! Please also consider a natural nail polish if nails are painted. No extra jewelry should be worn in rehearsals or performances.
Captivating Costumes
Finish all of your child’s costume alterations before their dress rehearsal. Be sure to look at the “Important Recital Information” google sheet to see all of your child’s costume information including hair, tights and shoes. Tights and shoes are available in Primadonnas. Please purchase them before recital week! If you have any questions about your child’s costume please ask your teacher or call the office before recital week. Please do not wear underwear under any costume. All ballet shoe ties should be tucked into the shoe. Don’t forget to write your child’s name in everything, especially shoes!
