Costumes will be going out the week of 8th to those that have a zero balance with the studio. If you have any questions regarding that, please send me a text at 254-977-3772. An example picture of the costume can be found in the parent portal in your dancer’s class section under “costumes”.

I will have tights for sale next week as well. Make sure your performance tights are clean and don’t have any holes in them.

HAIR: Your dancer’s hair must be in a secure bun with bobby pins and a hair net for ballet. Please do not have the hair in any other hair style. Here’s how to make a bun: Start with damp hair. Make an extremely slicked- back pony tail at the crown of the head. Add gel to hair to make sure there are no “whispies”. The light from the stage with create a glow around your child’s head if there are stray hairs. Split the pony tail into 2 halves. Twist the hair in one of the halves and then wrap that half around the pony tail holder, adding bobby pins as you go. Twist the hair in the other half and wrap the hair in the opposite direction of the first half. Wrap the entire bun in a hair net and fasten with bobby pins. Spray the entire head with hair spray. Please do not use a foam bun maker. Here is a link to a ballet bun tutorial.

MAKEUP:

Recital Makeup: The purpose of stage makeup is to give “life” to your child’s face on stage. The bright stage lights will wash all the color out of the face. The makeup needs to be applied heavier than everyday- wear.

Here are some tips for applying stage makeup:

*Use a darker shade of liquid foundation than you normally would choose for your child's skin tone. This might look weird up close, but keep in mind that audience members are far from the stage, and the stage lights make everyone very pale. Apply powder foundation over the liquid foundation to finish the look. Add a rosy blush to the apples of the cheeks. Avoid the tanner tones of blush.

Put a neutral-colored eye shadow such as tan on each eyelid and right underneath each eyebrow. Add a darker color eye shadow such as cocoa to the space in between. Blend both colors. Apply black eyeliner to both the top and bottom eyelids. Extend the eyeliner about a 1/2 inch beyond the outer corner of each eye. This helps the eyes appear larger. Apply two coats of black mascara after applying eye shadow and eyeliner.

*Trace both the upper and bottom lips with the red lip liner. Fill in the top lip with a long-wearing bright red lipstick, and then have your child rub her lips together to blend the lip color onto the bottom lip.
