Hair and Make-up: For photos, dress rehearsal and recital, all students, unless otherwise instructed by their teacher, should wear light make-up. We’re not talking over-the-top garish here, but just enough to keep the students from being washed out by the stage lights. Blush and mascara is often enough for the little ones.
· Ballet students should have their hair in a bun and pulled off the face. Bangs that can’t pull back in the bun are okay as long as they are not in the eyes. Beginner students should wear their hair in two buns at the top of the head to imitate mouse ears.
· Tiny Toes: Pony tail· Jazz 6: Pull the hair from the front and side back into a barrette or elastic. Hair in the back should be down.· Jazz 9: “Nerds” should put their hair in pig tail braids on either side of the head. Scrunchies will be provided with the costume. “Popular girls” should wear their hair in a pony tail in the back.· Jazz 12: Two French braids· Jazz 15: 80’sTastic! Girls will receive more instruction from Miss Lindsey.
For photos, the dress rehearsal and recital, all students will be expected to have appropriate tights as part of their costume. Tiny Toes and Ballet students are to be in pink and Jazz students in beige. The club has a limited number of tights available for purchase. Please let us know as soon as possible if you will need to purchase some (including size) so we can reserve them and have them available for you at pick up.
Tickets can be purchased at costume pick up for $6.00 each. They will also be available at The Olive Tree approximately two weeks before the recital. Ticket purchases help offset the costs associated with the recital and $1.00 from each ticket sale is contributed to the Auditorium Maintenance Fund per an agreement with the Trillium Foundation which provided our community with a sizable grant to repair our chairs and lighting.
