2019-2020Season

In this packet of information you will find the required hairstyle

for each level of company and team as well as the required

makeup for the 2019-2020 performance and competition

season. 

All dancers will be required to have their hair and makeup

supplies by their first performance: Gift and Hobby Show / Demo

Day.

It is important that you practice your dancer's hair style and

required makeup look prior to performance. It is our goal for all of

our dancers look professional on stage.

FAQ's:

Why does my dancer need stage make-up?A: Distance between the performer and the audience. Dancer’s

makeup needs to be dark enough to enhance facial features on

stage. This allows the audience to see the dancer’s emotion from

their seats. Stage lights can also “flatten” facial features and take

away the dimension that help the audience see the dancer’s

emotion.

May my dancer wear their glasses onstage?A: Dancers may not wear glasses onstage. Why? Lenses reflect stage

light.  Not only does it make a glare in front of the dancer’s face to

were the audience cannot see their face but it also can make it

harder for dancers to see when they are walking into the light.  It is

important to see a performer’s full face emoting and telling a story

while dancing.

Glasses also can inhibit their movement; if a dancer's glasses were

to somehow fall off of their face then it would be distracting to

them, the audience and other dancers.

Dancers are encouraged to practice without glasses when

running their dance  in rehearsal.
