HAIR & MAKEUP

 

Hair for Jazz, Hip Hop, Contemporary, and Tap Classes:

Dancers with hair longer than shoulder length must wear a high ponytail. Dancers with hair shorter than shoulder length must wear a high, half-up ponytail. If your dancer's hair is too short for a ponytail or half up ponytail, it must be clipped away from the face with clips or bobby pins that blend with their hair color. All hair must be pulled away from the face (no loose strands). Bangs that are longer than eyebrows must be clipped back. We want to see your dancer's beautiful eyes!

 

Hair for Ballet Classes:

Hair should be worn in a high bun. (unless your high ponytail already resembles a high bun) "Donut Bun" pieces are an easy way to keep a bun in place and looking perfect. These are not required but helpful, especially for dancers with long hair. "Donut Bun" holders can be found at stores like Target, Dollar Tree, and Amazon.

​

Makeup

Makeup for all dancers is optional but we highly recommend wearing it because it will enhance your dancer's features under the bright stage lights that wash out performer's faces.

• Blush

• Lipstick

• Mascara

• Eyeshadow

• Eyeliner

​

Shoes

All shoes must look clean and new and must fit your dancer properly. Please try them on to be sure your dancer does not need new shoes before the recital. Individual class shoe requirements are listed below. Please read carefully! Your dancer may need different color shoes than the ones they currently have. PLEASE LABEL YOUR DANCER'S SHOES WITH THEIR FIRST AND LAST NAME.

 

Tights/Undergarments

If your dancer's costume requires tights, they will not be allowed on stage without tights. No footless tights or nylons allowed. Tights are not meant to be worn with underwear. If your dancer wears underwear, it must not show. Bras must be skin color and must not show. Tights color requirements are listed below.

 

Accessories

The only accessories allowed on stage are the accessories included with your costume. Absolutely no jewelry, hair accessories, or socks allowed unless it was included with your costume. No face paint, body paint, or temporary tattoos allowed. All accessories included with your costume must be worn on stage. Accessories that are included with your costume are listed below.

 

Costume Condition

Costumes must be in perfect condition. Please have your dancer try their costume(s) on to be sure it fits. After that, they are not allowed to wear it or touch it until recital picture day, dress rehearsal, and the performance. If a dancer's costume is dirty or torn, they will not be allowed on stage. Costumes cannot be returned or exchanged. If it does not fit, you are responsible for alterations.

​

Face Masks

Your dancer is not required to wear a face mask on stage. If they choose to wear a mask, we will provide a disposable, skin colored mask.
