Dance with me Attire for the Spring Dance Concert

 General Guidelines:

• Costumes cannot be ironed or laundered. 
• A lost or damaged costume replacement would be very expensive, if the costume is able to be replaced at all.
• We have labeled many items, but please carefully label anything we may have missed and shoes with the dancer's name or initials using a permanent marker. 
• We do not distribute small accessories in advance such as hair pieces, gloves, etc… They will be provided at dress rehearsal and recital. This is because these items are easily lost or misplaced.
• Female dancers must not wear any panties under their costumes since tights function as panties. The tights are in the back zipper pocket of the garment bag the costume came in.
• Please no jewelry with any costumes for dress rehearsal and recital- small studs in piercings are acceptable
• Dance with me dancers will sit with their families in the auditorium or play in the hallway with their caretaker until it is their turn to dance. 

Makeup:
All Makeup should be very bright for all performances as stage lighting washes out the face. We want to see those facial expressions!
Makeup Girls: Foundation optional, blush (more dramatic than everyday wear), neutral colored eyeshadow, eyeliner optional, try for mascara, and bright red lipstick.
Makeup Boys: mascara, blush, lip shade a few shades darker than natural color. Optional foundation, optional neutral eyeshadow, optional eyeliner.

Hair: 
​Hair will be in a low bun.​
Buns: All hair should be secured into a slicked back bun at the nape of the neck with a middle part. No hair is left out of the bun- no wispies or ringlets or bangs. Low bun with center part tutorial using a hairnet and bobbypins here and here is a tutorial for textured hair.
