Please be ‘camera ready’ at your scheduled time. Costume, hair and (if wearing) light make-up. We try our best to stay on a tight schedule to get everyone some beautiful pictures and back to their day. Please help us stay on time by being ready to go at your scheduled time.
Rehearsal and Recital:
- Rehearsal: Tuesday, May 5th
- Recital: Saturday, May 9th, matinee
Ballet bun or two little ponies if hair is too short to pull back into the ponytail needed to start the Ballet bun. Clips and a hairband will help keep hair out of your child’s face.
Here is a helpful video tutorial.
Hairnets are a must to keep the bun secure. We have hairnets for sale in the lobby (50 cents each; just leave payment inside the canister) or you can buy them in any drugstore/Walmart etc.
Picture Day: Makeup is not necessary for Picture Day. Your child should look as they normally do. A little powder on the forehead will control shine.
Recital: Makeup is a fun part of the theatrical world and being ‘stage-ready’ and we encourage our dance families to enjoy the experience. Stage lighting washes out facial features and without a little extra colour, performers look featureless.
- Powder on forehead to combat shine
- Blush on cheeks (pink)
- Lipstick (pink)
- Eye Makeup: mascara is problematic for most children, so unless you know your child can handle it, please do not apply it. A little soft brown or grey eyeliner and shadow can help to define eyes. PLEASE, NO BLUE!!!
Please, no nailpolish or temporary tattoos, etc.
Hair: ballet bun (see ‘Hair’ above) with hairpiece secured on top of bun.
