Hair Styles for Recital and Dress Rehearsal

Directions for your dancer’s specific Hair/Make-up/Accessory needs can be found in the Costume Book held up at the Front Desk!!

All Company Dancers- FULL PERFORMANCE Hair and Make-up!!! All Combo Classes, All Jazz Classes, All Hip Hop Classes, All Tap Classes- Hair needs to be in a curled ponytail! Make sure that all hair is pulled and sprayed back. If your child’s hair is not long enough for a ponytail- half-up and curly. (Make sure that your ponytail holder and bobby pins are the same color as your hair!)

All Ballet Classes- Hair needs to be in a tight, secured, bun with no fly-aways.

***All hair accessories need to be securely bobby pinned in hair***

Make-up

ALL CLASSES MUST WEAR MAKE-UP TO ENSURE YOUR CHILD’S
FACE DOES NOT GET WASHED OUT ON STAGE!

Ages 2 ½- 5: Blue or Purple eye shadow, Mascara (I always recommend the CLEAR mascara just incase they rub their eyes, we don’t have a mess!!) pink blush, and red lipstick. (I would put their lip stick into a clear baggy with their name on it to send back stage to have the backstage mom apply right before they perform!)

Ages 6-teens: Blue or Purple eye shadow, black mascara, black eyeliner if possible, pink blush, and red lipstick.
Make sure that all make-up is A LOT heavier than what you would usually wear!!

Videotaping
Please NO video taping or photography during the Recital or Concert. This is for the safety of the Dancers!! You may video tape your child during Dress Rehearsal. DVDs of either show may be purchased at Recital.

Recital
Dancers are required to arrive 30 minutes prior to your recital show time. There will be L.A. Dance signs directing “Dancers” which way to go. Please make sure that you sign your child in! Your child must be signed-out by the same person when leaving for security purposes! Backstage Mom: These moms will stay with dancers throughout the show. A sign-up sheet is at the front desk for moms interested in being the designated Backstage Mom. Backstage, there will be a TV/VCR playing Disney movies. We also have coloring books, games, etc. for the dancers to use. All dancers will remain backstage during the ENTIRE show. For safety reasons, the backstage doors will be locked. NO ONE will be allowed to leave early from backstage. All dancers will participate in the Finale at the end of the show. At the conclusion of the performance, please send ONE adult to sign your child out. Please be patient with this process, and remember the lines will go faster if you send only ONE parent to pick up your dancer. If your child is 9 or older (students in the ages 9-11 and teen classes), you may exit the auditorium and wait for them in the cafeteria. Before the recital, be sure that you have talked with your child regarding where you will meet her when the show is finished. PLEASE have your child use the restroom prior to dropping them off in dressing rooms!! Thank you!
