Hair: All Junior & Teen level Ballet classes are required to have their hair in a bun for the Recital. All other dancers may wear their hair how they would like, however, it must be pulled back away from the face as to not cause a distraction while dancing.

Makeup: Stage makeup is required for all performers due to the stage lighting that is used in a theater. Makeup is used to enhance a dancer's features under the bright lights and allow the audience to see their expression better. Blush, Eyeshadow and Lipstick are required. All other stage makeup is recommended but not required.

For the safety and security of all involved, we only allow approved recital helpers in the backstage area. If you would like to volunteer to be a recital helper, please let us know as soon as possible. All helpers are required to be present for both the Tech Rehearsal and Recital. Thank you for your help!

You can find your dancer’s recital song(s) in your Parent Portal under “Documents”. Once logged into your account, find class documents. There, you will find a place there to download the song. Listening to your recital song in the car and at home helps excite and encourage your dancer to enjoy practicing more in class. Listening to the song and practicing the dance will help your dancer shine and feel confident on stage!
