·       Rehearsals will start and finish on time! 

·       Although the dress rehearsal seems long, the children will be fine and well cared for.  They will be very excited about being involved in the show and the time will go by fast.

Make-up:

Levels D-P need to wear Foundation, (Pancake makeup: Max Factor works best).  Put on face, neck and ears.

·        All students should wear white, beige, pink, bronze or gold as a base eye shadow, and black, grey or brown as a contour ONLY.  NO BLUE EYE SHADOW PLEASE! (Blue eye shadow gives the appearance of a bruised eye on stage).

·        Apply Pink, rose, bronze or peach blush to contour the cheek bones. 

·        Eyebrows should be darkened if very light.  Eye liner, only in Black or Brown, and of course, Mascara.

·        You may wear false Eyelashes if your dancer chooses to. Do not apply lipstick prior to arriving at the theater...it will get on the costume. 

·        You may bring lipstick to be applied just before going on stage. The lipstick that you paint on and let dry and then apply gloss works best, and doesn’t get on their teeth.

·        Small Children need blush in the apples of the cheeks, if eye lashes and eyebrows are light go ahead and darken them a little, lipstick will be applied on them before they go on stage.

·        All lips must be red.

·        No Nail Polish is permitted on fingers or toes except clear.

Under Garments:  

·        If your child should need to wear a bra, or body stocking (for multiple changes back stage), they need to get the kind from Standing Ovations with the clear straps.

·         Dancers do not wear underwear under your tights. (This is known from dance etiquette) Dance brand tights have a cotton crotch, designed to dry quickly. Underwear doesn’t allow this to happen, it harbors moisture, and can lead to infections, and it causes unsightly lumps in leotards, and costumes. Please DO NOT send your child in costume with underwear, under their tights, they will not be permitted on stage.

Buns

Moms (and Dads) please start bringing your daughters to dance class with their hair in a bun!  This is proper dance etiquette and is also good for them to get used to having all their hair up. You will find instructions below;

How to get your daughter’s hair in the perfect BUN!

1. Wet hair works best Part hair on child’s LEFT side of      

     head, and brush to the right.

2. Apply gel or hair wax.
