Consult
your teachers for exact hair style required.
Depending on your age and class, you may be
asked for a "Classical Bun" or a "Side
Part Bun". Either of these styles may also
require a curly pony-tail hairpiece if you are
in tap or jazz. Practice the style several times
before your first performance and get help if
you are having trouble! Hair gel and hairspray
should be used for all performances so that
hair is neat, tidy and professional. If you
have short or multi-layered hair, please ask
your teacher how to style your hair.

Professional
Stage Make-up is an essential part of performing.
Stage lighting and the distance of the audience
make the dancer appear washed out, "flat"
and expressionless. The purpose of stage makeup
is to add color to the skin and to exaggerate
the features, making them clearly visible to
the audience. Proper application will ensure
that the eyes and lips are clearly visible to
the audience fifty feet away. Dancers 6 years
old and younger should use hypoallergenic make-up
and it should be applied sparingly, especially
around the eye area.
All
students will be required to supply their own
make-up for performances. Students must wear
foundation, eyeliner, eye shadow, blush, and
lipstick colors should stay in the neutral family,
including grays, browns, and plums.
