Newsletter November 2015 Wolseley Dance Club wolseleydanceclub@hotmail.com http://wolseleydanceclub.wordpress.com Upcoming Events 2016 Competitions: Dear Dance Families, Wolseley Dance Club is busy getting ready for our upcoming Competition Season! Routines are being choreographed, costumes have been chosen, and shoe and hair requirements are set! This newsletter will provide you with the much needed information that you will require to ensure your dancer is ready for competition! Competition/Recital Requirements: Make-up - Make-up should include foundation/powder to even out skin tones, natural brown shades of eye shadow, black eyeliner, black mascara, blush, and a deep red lipstick (please avoid any red lipsticks with a pink or orange tinge to them they should be a deep, true red). - Make-up is an important asset that allows the dancers to refrain from looking pale and washed out on stage under the lighting. It also allows for attention to be brought to their facial expressions on stage which improves the look of their performance as well! - Please do not share make-up as it is an easy way to pass germs and infections. Extra Reminders - Absolutely NO underwear is to be worn underneath costumes. - No jewelry (aside from assigned costume jewelry) is to be worn. - Bangs are always to be pulled off of the face. - No nail polish is to be worn. - Tights must be snag-free and have no holes or marks on them. - It is always a good idea to bring extra hair supplies, safety pins, small sewing kits, extra shoelaces, nail polish remover, static guard, et cetera just in case! - Bras should be beige and have adjustable clear or beige straps in order to change them according to the neckline of your costume. - Please steam any costumes that need it in order to get rid of any wrinkles and creases that may have been created through packaging. DO NOT IRON your costumes as this could severely damage them! - It is a good idea to not wear your costume to and from the competition because the costumes can get dirty or damaged in your travels. It would be a good idea to instead get dressed at the competition. Please treat the costumes carefully as well since there is no way to replace them! - Please be aware of any accessories that come with costumes (ex. hair pieces). Keep track of these pieces because they are also irreplaceable but are more easily lost or forgotten. - Please remind dancers that they are at competitions to dance. Laughing, talking, et cetera while on stage is completely unacceptable. They can do this while waiting to dance and after they dance, but not during their routines! - Please make sure dancers are practicing their routines at home for memory. Competitions are quickly approaching so dancers need to be comfortable with their routines (this includes solos/duos). - If you have any questions or need clarification on anything, please feel free to ask!

Dance Tights can be purchased at Dancers Den on Albert Street. You can expect to spend ~$20 a pair. Wolseley Dance Club Public Relations Committee Page 3 of 7
